Screenshot of a post I did where I said "with all due respect, and I guess if I get piled on, I'll just leave... but staying out of political discourse is a privilege. Politics is something that not everyone can brush aside and choose not to participate in. For most people who live in a marginalised way - whether they hold intersections of different marginalisations or not, politics governs their lives and well-being. Politics determine whether or not they can get married, own a home, or in the case above include their not traditionally academic children in a national qualification that is being eroded for the simple reason of "throwing out what the previous government did" I'd also like to remind us all that one of the main principles of burns is to have civic responsibility, we value civil society and we fully participate in it. that is all"

Photo of former mayor of Waitomo, Mark Ammon. The words accompanying it says "Former Mayor of Waitomo Mark Ammon, who lives in Marokopa, told the Herald he was disappointed but not surprised to hear that Tom Phillips had been shot dead after firing at police. "It’s not totally unexpected, and you knew that was not likely to end well, but it’s still tragic all round. "Particularly for the children because they’ve been a team living together on the run ... it probably increased the bond with their father." Ammon said the community had become used to avoiding police and media every time there was a Phillips sighting. "We’ve become used to it because, I guess it started off with a – if you like – a hiss and a roar. "We became accustomed to activity in regards to hunting for Tom Phillips, and it’s just been another little chapter every now and then." Ammon described the Phillips family as a "cornerstone family of Marokopa". "They go back three generations and were involved in everything. "They’re very much part of the fabric of the Marokopa Te Anau valley." Ammon said he hadn’t spoken to any of his neighbours or locals about the news this morning. "Possibly they don’t even know yet. "Lots of days go by here and you don't even speak to a neighbour. There's not, not a lot of people running around.""
