I mean... Don't get me wrong... It is nice to see some of our top paid people start to say things like:
'Equity is about a fair go for all New Zealanders'
Especially when Equity has always been conceived of (by us) as a way for elite Maaori to better screw over their own people.
But it is not nice, at all, that more than 1 year after I submit my thesis for examination... More than 1 year after the reports of the examiners say that it is accepted subject to substantive changes...
The University goes 'make us' when it comes to signing me off.
The Calendar Regulations give them 10 weeks only to sign me off.
I met eligability requirements for Medicine in time to be enroled to start in 2019.
And New Zealand thought it was acceptable to just refuse to sign me off, forge and distribute a falsified transcript saying that I failed, invoice me for additional enrolment that wasnt' justified, issue invoice to the Tertiary Education Commission for PhD examination when I never applied to study the PhD.
DO YOUR F*CK*NG JOB. THE F*CK*NG JOB I PAID YOU TO DO. FOR THE F*CK*NG DEGREE THAT YOU F*CK*NG ADVERTISED IN YOUR F*CK*NG CALENDAR.
120 point MPhil. Examined by EXTERNAL examiners (who won't decide taht it's more fun for me to be their little bitch forever until they see appropriate supplication from me -- which they will only see displayed by others towards them when they have made themselves a psychopath who will only screw tehm over if they get the opportunity to do taht).
I don't want to play the game of the idiot psychopath, NZ. Just do your job.
Research output. That's a notch in teh belt of the University! If you start producing more of them (in a more timely fashion) then the externals can come to expect greater things from the University and their expectations on qualitly can go up.
In the meantime... Maybe your theses are so rubbish because they are so unpolished because you hire employees who lack the capacity to read them / respond to them / participate in the writing of them in a timely fashion.
All they know is taking 2x the normal time to re-write the entire thing for you. Never just doing their work in the normal f*ck*ng time. Reading it. Marking typos. Engaging with ideas (if possible). In a timely fashion.
Then we can all move on with the next project instead of shooting our faces off explainng the same thing for the millionth time to psychopaths who invested in stealing everyones stuff and going 'I know you are but what am I?' sort of a name-calling leadership 'style'.
Just sign me off in a timely fashion. As was your f*ck*ng job. You know. The job for which you are paid. The job that likely wasn't advertised at all. Maybe the job the government decided to give to you because all they knew was you were one of them and so money money money for you so you can do your thing of making things worse for all the Graduate Students of New Zealand by refusing to acknowledge their work output in a timely fashion in order to steal it for yourselves and the idiots who are meaningblind and nonproductive who have made their career in ensuring that NZ doesn't have anything to trade / bring to the table.
WOmen don't have their own bed to sleep in.
They don't have a lock on their bedroom door.
They don't have access to birth control.
They don't want to see their aging GP who believes it is culturally appropriate for their family or their culture to decide whether or not they have access to birth control.
They have their own living and breathing hot water bottle.
If it doesn't die from someone rolling on it in their sleep...
Doesn't die from being shufled onto it's stomach...
It might make its way on and up.
By clinging on for dear life in our cold and mouldy houses...Then we'll overpack it in some classroom with no books.
But it would be culturally inappropriate to do reading or writing anyway.
Just learn to copy the work of others. Take it for your own.
Only group work is culturally appropriate.
Teachign you teh skills you need to take the things for your own.The things we value.

And actually now it sounds like he just stole whatever the Australian said about having a go or getting a go or whatever. A fair go.
The difference is that...
Oh... I think maybe the year I arrived in Aussie to start my PhD there was an exhibition in the national gallary about what it means to be an Australian.
It was audio visual.
Differnet people... A diversity of people. They asked them what being an Australian meant to them. Older people. Younger people. Aborigine people. White people. Yellow people.
And they had a diversity of answers, of course. But recurring themes, as you would expect.
And I remember at the time being surprised. I thought that New Zealanders had a very clear of their identity. I was surprised to hear that it was part of teh school curriculum, or something, part of Australian studies, or something, to get the kids thinking about and reflecting on the differnt things that made them Australian.
And I suppose I faintly rememebered some school unit on things like the All Blacks and the Americas Cup and Buzzy bees and sheep and something like that...
But 'New Zealanders' is something that apparently one is racist if one says it. The term. It's apparently a term that is used to undermine Maori. To deny that the Treaty is the founding document of NZ. Except of course a Treaty isn't a founding document. It isn't an agreement to work together. People don't work together. They smooth the ego constantly and it is constantly required because of course all the ego smoothing gestures are false and phoney and artificial ego smoothing gestures. The people participating know full well the people are vultures and will screw them over for their own personal advantage at the first available opportunity...
Which is what makes it empty gestures we could spend the next... Forever. Forever generations could be devoted to the task of smoothing others egos all day...
Or would they grow up?
The NZ experiment.
I suppose.
HOw many generations will it take for things like politicians go grow up. To get with the program. To stop having toddler tantrums around letting other people have resources they need in order to function, too.

I mean I do see that there are aspects of it that were good and interesting.
But I returned to NZ in... 2012.
And on my return...
People try and starve me...
People do not advertise job positions for work I am capable of doing.
People do not process my application for merit based scholarships that I am sure I shuld have gotten (if they processed the applications properly).
People do not process my essays properly (we have an Education Act that sets out what values are to be promoted in education and 'spouting back my powerpoint slides because I said' is not one of them).
People do not process my Degree completion properly.
People seem determined to 'teach me a lesson or two' in how I am required to be appropriately supplicant to them...
I am required to do what they say when they say because they say....
I am required to meet with them on demand...
I am required to write an appeal...
I am required to write an appeal...
I am required to write an appeal...
While they do none of the things they are paid to do when it comes to processing my stuff the way they are paid to process my stuff.
They simply refuse to do their job and go 'make us'.
How am I supposed to respond / react to this?
Flee. I suppose.
It isn't the 'brain drain'
It is a form of 'white flight'.
It is not fair that Maaori, particularly, are powerless to leave their own people.
Their own people brand them as illiterature and lacking social skills and they starve their brains of oxygen and so on and so forth...
Trying to make a little tribe of ego smoothers...
While producing nothing. While allowing others to produce nothing.
While constantly crying for money. Money. MOney. The problem is that we don't have enough money.
THe more money you give them the less money they give to their people.
They don't understand the reason they don't have money is becuase of the trade sanctions that are being opposed.
The WHO isn't going to keep throwing millions of dollars to the king of samoa for refusing to train competent health taskforce.
This is the end of the thread.
