Last week, Dr Aziz Choudry passed away. For those of you who remember the 1990s, Dr Aziz Choudry was an activist and a social justice activist involved with bring up some of the issues around the APEC ministerial meeting that was happening in 1996. And he actually happened to catch SIS spies on his house. And so people like Aziz are at front of mind for me at the moment—social justice activists who have been routinely scrutinised by the State. He was an innovative researcher, author, and educator. He inspired countless colleagues and students to challenge societal norms to advocate social justice and learning advocacy. He was a passionate and political activist and my thoughts and condolences go out to him and his whānau at this time.
