Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with the Brain Drink, Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Don Rowe explains how Australia’s 501 policy is affecting New Zealand, Stewart Sowman-Lund wonders why media keep allowing Sue Grey to spout misinfo, and we welcome the return of our annual guilt-free (and goat-free) ethical gift guide.. But first, Alex Casey spends six hours at sea with an OnlyFans empire.
Alex Casey: “As the group of 30 or so Gen Z creators piled onto the boat dressed in Gucci slides and Fendi hats, so too did a very small cluster of invited media, who would come to look so out of place that later in the night the yacht’s chef confidently asserted that we “must be the organisers”. Despite our differences, the Thumper team warmly welcomed everyone, even those wearing pants with elastic waistbands (me), with open arms, star sign analysis and endless cans of Cheeky Tea, the official alcohol sponsor of the evening. By the end of the night, the CHEEKY X THUMPER sign would read EE HUMP HER.” See also: Local OnlyFans creators talk about their lives

‘I’m Māori first’: The vision-impaired community finding strength in whakapapa Meriana Johnsen: “There is very little research which centres the experiences of tāngata kāpō [blind] Māori from a strengths-based approach and which acknowledges their self-determination. Privileging te ao Māori in this project provided a wider context to understand disability and blindness. … “Once we put our foot in the water, we could see how murky the water is, how all the other voices speak over tāngata kāpō, how silenced Māori voices are, so we just wanted to bring to light the unseen experiences of Māori,” [researcher] Masters-Awatere says.
