It really is time to start pressuring @TVNZ and @NewstalkZB to pull the plug on Mike Hosking. He has had too many official complaints and is his latest rant about sacraficing 1000s of NZers is disgraceful and not helping. We shouldn't be giving him a nationally funded platform.

@FoxyLustyGrover We need to find who the advertisers are that are supporting his shows on media platforms. I can't bring myself to listen/watch to find out, but if others know then I suggest we start there; eg. I am going to pay for a subscription to @TheSpinoffTV and not @nzherald . #drophosking

NYT just reported that the Vatican formally repudiated on Thursday the “Doctrine of Discovery,” a legal concept based on 15th-century papal documents that European colonial powers used to legitimize the seizure and exploitation of Indigenous lands.

Vatican Repudiates ‘Doctrine of Discovery,’ Used as Justification for Colonization (Published 2023)

Indigenous communities have long called on the Vatican rescind the concept, which had been used over the centuries to seize land from people in the Americas, Africa and elsewhere.
