Free speech is not academic freedom
Academic freedom requires an 'ethical need to protect the right to speak and challenge ideas that are based in evidence, research and scholarship'
So don't have an innate right to speak on campus Marcail Parkinson (she/her) VUWSA

Christopher Luxon still speaking like a CEO, in bumper stickers, trying to encourage the workers after a bad quarter

ACT Minister Andrew Hoggard must be acknowledged, even if you hate his politics, for one of the better jokes an MP has told in recent memory

When was the last time you couldn’t leave the car because you had to hear the end of a song?

Just happened to me with “Peaches” from The Presidents of the United States on a Spotify playlist

It's a really, REALLY bad look having MPs take a pay rise in the current climate of cuts and layoffs and lost bonuses that they are implementing

Christopher Luxon's 'business skills' are left wanting in politics.
As CEO if he delivered a dividend then he was successful, in Govt he is responsible for any bs a first time conspiracy theorist MP might spew out as part of his coalition and it tarnishes him

For the debt Labour took on during COVID we bought life and small businesses staying open.

What did we buy for the debt, which was about twice as much as Labour's COVID borrowing, that John Key's National Government took on?

a question.

When do you hold this Government accountable for the crime rate in the country?

Luxon was parroting ‘we’ve inherited’ again on TVNZ Breakfast, when in your opinion, does he need to stop the ‘blame Labour’ tactic for the perceived ills in society?

What the TVNZ poll showed us last night is that on some level, is being tarnished both by polices Kiwi's don't like, and the toxic relationship he has with Seymour and Peters

The 'A' in ACT certainly doesn't stand for 'Arts'.

The Arts portfolio in ACT is held by Todd Stephenson MP, a man who once went to a musical, watches TV and can't name a NZ author🙄

Bernard Hickey's headline from this morning encapsulates the poll from TVNZ last night and should be a warning to National

He states 'this is the fastest fall, by any new Government in the MMP era'

The last time this kind of poll happened was National in 1991

There isn't a 'fiscal hole' the previous Government funded Pharmac in three year cycles, the next round of funding was due this year and prices have gone up.
Don't believe ACT's bs, they're setting up the health system to tamper with it and blame Labour
