A user on the University of Otago Meaninful Confessions page has just discovered basic human empathy.

“Nah like I just realised that Kaiāwhina are people too and they have feelings as well,” wrote one user in an anonymous confession.

Another student replied, “nah they know what they are getting into so it’s fine they get paid negative dollars to work there and never get time off.”
