New Honest Government Ad is out! (Link in replies)

If a journalist or media organisation is admitted into the press gallery then they should be beholden to the same standards and ethics that the Media Council and BSA administer. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

#BHN The hypocrisy is adorable 🥰 Sean Plunket cries 'free speech' until he doesn't. Remember when he wanted the Government to step in and regulate someone's speech that offended him? As per usual, he wants "free speech for me, but not for thee" #nzpol #nzpolitics

What an appalling human being Helen Joyce is. Nice to know the FSU can trot out the most disgusting kind of transphobic bigot to go around the country spreading their bile. Its unbelievable that she met with ministers and was hosted at Parliament. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-11…

Such a moronic take that funding cheap cycleways somehow caused the Moa Point sewerage crisis. The last few councils have made big investments in Three Waters infrastructure, but yes, let's scapegoat the Greens for political gain and decades of under investment in Wellington.

Perhaps you might visit Māori war graves in Egypt or Italy, and explain to them why you feel it necessary to expunge Māori knowledge and customs in the army that they died serving in.
