Tusi, congratulations on the PM award, which was about the best news the country has had since October. (Actually, that's too low a bar: there has been no other good news since October. But it's still the best news!) I wish I had advice on how to deal with the likes of Seymour et al, but I do not. The entire ACT philosophy is premised in the notion that colonisation NEVER HAPPENED, and so the question is: what do you do with wilful ignorance? The best answer I can come up with is that we have to out-wait them. It's generational, and that generation is not long for the world. They won't be mourned.

I'm so thankful you wrote this poem at the time you wrote the poem; and you absolutely deserve the PM award! I'm so happy for you!

I like how the artist who refreshed the Hobson Draft talked about doing it so the kids don't have to do it... I think this is what your poem does. It's a gift for our children. Thank you for it.
