    &quot;A Beat For You&quot; by Pseudo Echo (1982) &quot;In my life, I&#39;ve many strong desires And still, in all, I&#39;m reaching for the fire You never look, you never see You never notice when you&#39;re next to me But feel my heart, it&#39;s burning with desire&quot; (I was a tiny bit obsessed with this song and the video for it as a young&#39;un.) https://youtu.be/QcTYGNsUVxA #JukeboxFridayNight #HotOrCold

    Link below is a lengthy, considered, well-written set of arguments against the Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill by someone in Wellington called Rhiannon Bond.

    @civillibertynz published an excellent and very forthright submission on the dangerous Policing Amendment Bill yesterday (linked here: https://mastodon.social/@civillibertynz/116441856895183834). I wrote a short one in support of theirs last night - submissions close at 1:59pm today! https://www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/make-a-submission/document/54SCJUST_SCF_C7815558-E010-47D9-A8AD-08DE84625BC2/policing-amendment-bill
