Language Matters is really important everybody knows using the word golliwog to describe someone is unacceptable we all know that and we understand why.
Did you know asking someone "what is wrong with you" falls into the same category
When interacting with disabled people there are many words you should not use, ableist words are primal many people use these words without realizing or accepting that they are.
Education is the answer just as we must learn Maori protocol to navigate our world safely, the same needs to be said for the disabled we also have protocol
Language Matters is a series of conversation starters created by disabled people. These resources explore a variety of topics on how language choices can impact disabled people.
Language Matters aims to generate awareness about how important our choice of language is and how words shape the way we see the world. The aim is to create greater connection and understanding between disabled and non-disabled people.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
