"Tamaki doesn’t seem particularly well prepared. He starts out on a similar line to McCoskrie – except in his telling, it’s the 2004 Civil Unions Act that’s to blame for trans rights – but keeps getting distracted. In no apparent order, he jumps from civil unions, to vaccines, to Helen Clark, to a self-aggrandising story about his rugby days. Then, a plug for his Man Up programme, some more about vaccines, Jacinda Ardern and Helen Clark again"

Currently taking my time to read this scintillating and heartbreaking work, Second Hand Time by Svetlana Alexievich. A huge (700 page) distillation of so many monologues from women (and some men) who reminisce, idolise/idealise and grieve about life before the fall of the Soviet Union. The voices are those of the subjects, but she weaves a fascinating cloth from it all.
