Delay it all you like, but the injunction is a surefire win.

I don't think Steve will take it to court. He'll fade away; that's what the pros reckon.


Such a fucking bummer that I'm unlikely to get much justice. -


Most of the people have faded, but the pollies are still hassling me.

I gather that they didn't enjoy answering the police questions.


It's a sore point in National. Lots of them think I'm a decent person. -


No, Cass. You're a selfish prick who tried to steal my songs when I wouldn't let you sing them.

To learn Don's songs, I picked them up off charts and by ear.


You might be wealthy, but you're not a composer or a singer.

You tried to feign as if you understood my sexuality in order to exploit me.

You actually told people that detransition tactics were ok. -

Salina - it's similar. Why didn't you simply ask me about the music?

That's your fault for thinking I was dumb.

-

Same goes for Steve Barr. You actually stopped me from getting an opportunity to enrich yourself. -


If people think it's worth charging you, I intend to press those charges.


Basically, shitheads, your pitch was 'we're more popular than you, so we can use you as a stepping stone for our lives'

Precisely what AMPP stands against.


Queer creatives deserve equal pay and equal opportunities. We're routinely denied straight films, but some NB wanker can pretend to be gay to work on our shit and it's called 'consulting' or 'creative supervision.'

Shipwrecked is aimed at that. Asian girls that want action scenes. Rock numbers that don't suck.

Queer people and straight people, together against climate change and colonial racism. If The Perfumed Garden is good, my identity as whakawahine is part of that. Some straight guy would've made light of the crossdressing. -


My documentary idea is worth pitching, but honestly the process is intimidating.

Now that people are admitting Steve said awful things about me, it's hard to want to meet those same slimeball producers.


Circa's on my boycott list. VUW as well. I'm considering whether to go to gigs, but not until I've got the evidence. Golriz might have read it already; I haven't.
