At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

Labour ministers were reprimanded for minor critiques of state broadcasters.
Current ministers attacks, outrage and suggestions of change at tvnz & rnz happen to be against the law but are also just pathetic & petty.
Govt parties would’ve criticised the last govt for far less.

I'm surprised Lloyd Burr hasn't fronted and said what he said, to cause Maiki Sherman to call him names. We've know that a racist slur was used which is just as bad as homophbic slurs Of course Ani O'Brien didn't say in her hit piece because her style is to cause maximum hurt.

Dear @LloydBurr I think in the spirit of openness, you should really make a statement to us, the public about what you said that night in Nicola Willis’ office. I know it’s been a year since it happened but fairs fair.

@LloydBurr care to disclose the remarks - plural - you made to @MaikiSherman, in full? Pretty rich letting her be hung out to dry while you cover up your own actions. @NicolaWillisMP, care to comment? Or are you just happy that Maiki can no longer make you look like a liar?

the message that's got National under 30% is:
if you're a student or disabled or a teacher or a nurse or a cop or a doctor or unemployed or homeless or nearing retirement or sick or on minimum wage or in a underpaid female dominated job... you're less important than a landlord

make life harder for young people, who are already facing mass unemployment, by making them take on more debt (then complain they aren't starting families)✅️ take super away from 65 & 66 year olds, hitting the poor hardest✅️ reverse tax cuts for landlords & the rich? ❌️

Yet another despicable act by this Govt. No wonder youth unemployment is growing. What do they have to aspire to?

I think it’s instructive to look at who unleashed that mob, and why.
And why only one of the two parties exchanging slurs that night were hounded out of their job.

The Maiki Sherman lynch mob is frightening. This is the most hostile environment within which to be a political journalist I have known in my 55 years as a journo. The mob is ruling at the moment. They have tasted blood. Who will they turn on next?

@heroesatwork The relationship our current gvt has with our country and it's people is so toxic and abusive, they so clearly hate everything good about it, they choose to lead it to destroy it for a few bucks for themselves. The very worst of people

National has 11 million dollars to buy votes and billboards on every street corner. That's not democracy it's oligarchy.
Tax wealth not work.

So the OECD supports a capital gains tax and not an LNG facility and Willis calls it radical. Lol. The head prefect always knows better than the experts which is why we're in such a mess. stuff.co.nz/politics/36097…

yeah, I had solar put on two years ago and there was no red tape. one council inspection, which the installer organised.
Cost was the only issue - and it's worth it: it'll have paid for itself in 6-7 years.
Jeremy@greytownbuilder
Genuinely baffled by this. We had solar installed a few months ago. Zero red tape. One inspection. Seymour quoted here saying up to seven inspections needed. Has his regulations ministry actually achieved anything or is it just more virtue signalling rnz.co.nz/news/political…

@Mountain_Tui @HelenaT57230672 Lies, lies and more lies. I had one inspection. Do your job media.

David Seymour claims solar inspections require 8 inspections & his new $64 million Ministry of Regulation will cut red tape on them
FACT: Most if not all solar inspections only require 1 inspection

@MaikiSherman So Maiki made a comment during drinks, after an alleged racial slur by Burr. All moved on. She then offends National by pursuing statements on Luxon's coup.
National/NZ First linked Suit & Tie account then shopped the "story" to Ani O'Brien's blog. They got their scalp.

What's interesting is Maiki's statement confirms:
1. Lloyd Burr may have made the alleged racial slur to Maiki
2. Nicola Willis knew & despite it being closed a year ago, in the same week National complained about Maiki, its story was leaked by Suit & Tie & Ani O'Brien 1/2

Luxon is a coward, and not fit to be a PM!
Nick@StrayDogNZ
This week has revealed how Luxon struggles when facing increased pressure from the media. Under fire from independent economists for his foreign home buyers tax policy, Luxon has refused to answer questions, laughed haughtily and even walked away. thread 🧵
