@anselmschueler @sarahhbickerton apparently everyone else in the debate in Parliament was against it.

From a relative newcomer to Aotearoa New Zealand: the Treaty Principles Bill purports to unilaterally redefine the terms of what is considered to be the founding document of the New Zealand government, an agreement between the British Crown and the indigenous people, in ways that are inconsistent with how it has been interpreted in the last 50 years, and diminishing Māori say on issues.

@skinnylatte @SeaFury and in our case just due to random world events, although our passports are not US anyhow.

@skinnylatte I've been fortunate in that when I go somewhere on sabbatical I continue to be paid by my employer (at a 15% discount) but have never had to worry about bringing money in.

Even in NZ it took my spouse more than 6 months to get a job, though she wasn't looking immediately. Apart from that, we actually are really good at getting logistics done and that is usually just a week or two.

@skinnylatte sounds about right---can be done but there is zero margin for things to go wrong with 10K; let's say flights 2K, airbnb 3k, rent deposits 4k, living expenses for a month 1K (yikes)?
