Fish in a barrel, I know, but I look forward to Free Speech Union governing council member David Cumin having a very stern word with Israel Institute of New Zealand director David Cumin over this effort to censor an individual's attire based on its perceived political message.

An object lesson in anyone considering going into government with ACT in future. A year solid of negative headlines and a much more unpopular than the median first term government.

Christopher Mark Luxon's Marie Antoinette moment today demonstrates his lack of empathy and understanding of the situation of our most vulnerable. But, you know, Christopher is wealthy and sorted. #nzpol

So, you hire a company to do a job. They magnificently half-arse it. Your response is that someone else should do the job, for free, while you continue to pay the company to not do it. Business Daddy really is a genius.

Let's keep it real: If Māori were running this three-ring school lunch shitshow on dodgy backroom contracts entered into with the previous Labour Government, this farce would be shut down and under multiple investigations. Tell me I'm wrong. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The previous school lunch programme provided a nutritious lunch, ensured no children were stigmatised for being poor and it provided income for community providers. It was an investment in the health, education and well-being of children. Luxon disgusts me www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

This appointment flew under the radar a little before Christmas aside from a piece in Carbon News. If clean energy grants were "state sponsored demand destruction" could the same be said for building EV chargers and electrifying trucks? www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

🧵If you want to support Internet NZ now would be the time. The framing of this as "censorship" is a reactionary emotive catchcry by oppositional parties. Bully from within tactics do not equate to civil discussion.... www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
