He kept sliding and it just kept getting steeper... you won't believe where he lands? would you do this?

One wrong move and it’s over. Watch the most terrifying drop of his life.

@winstonpeters Andrea Vance misleading the New Zealand public? No way.

Journalist of the year Andrea Vance and The Post have been found out by the Media Council for telling ‘ferry-tales’. In early March, Vance published a story that our ferry replacement programme is “$167 million over budget”. This was totally and factually incorrect. We pointed out to Vance directly, twice, that she confused two different numbers that had been public for all to see for almost four months. The first number was $1.867 billion, being the total programme cost including funding from ports for assets they will own, and $1.7 billion being the Government’s share of costs for assets the taxpayer will own. Vance conflated the two figures and misled the public as a result – or as the Media Council said: “As such both the article and the headline are inaccurate and mislead the public.” The Media Council found “Mr Peters is correct to say that The Post’s confusion could have been avoided if the reporter had simply rung any of the relevant parties to check her facts.” No doubt we will see far more ‘Opinion’ pieces from Vance, because that’s what media do when they let their story get in the way of the facts. Meanwhile, we will carry on fixing the Cook Strait mess with two new road and rail ferries and the marine infrastructure to support it, without all the ridiculous waste the Labour Government added in, and saving New Zealand $2.3 billion in the process. Good luck on becoming ‘Journalist of the Year’ this year. Bon voyage.

@FullTwatforward @MaramaDavidson Assaulting the elderly, classic northland rangatahi behavior.

No decsription? Again? I'll check with @MaramaDavidson 🙄 stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360973…

@dreadconquest I dont think prosecuting parents is the answer but I bet you didn't say fuck all when it happened under Labour.

@dreadconquest Did you have a cry about it when it happened under the last Government?

the dumbest people alive are cheering on that first truancy prosecution because they don’t actually care about whether the kids are in school or not, they just love the punishment

@roonsopo It's the deal they signed up for, someone I know rented or leased a house to KO and same thing. Any damages will be repaired by the Government.

Why aren’t the motel owners paying for repairs? They sat back ,took millions of taxpayers money as the Govt paid well over the odds all with no responsibility . The money earned went into their accounts & the idiot taxpayers are still getting bent over and getting a re-bore

@matt_horncastle @moahunter Labour, because they're both of those things.

Who is worse on a moral level? Greens or Māori party? Like the greens are communists… Māori are racist… It’s a tough call…

@FullTwatforward Jesus, imagine listening to Matiu tukaka voluntarily.

You thought Tova was bad? Jesus 😂

@ZealandEarly A tradition still carried on to this day.

Worth watching 😂 😂 😂

@Kenlomax6810 Protected class.

Not only will they not stand Maiki down, they will probably give her the award because of those issues

@michaelcolhoun @SeanPlunket The complainants name has been out there for a while it's Richard Fanselow aka Mountain_tui nzherald.co.nz/business/media…

@SeanPlunket This would probably only be believable if it happened on the show. How’d you get the complaints’ details? Do they get released as part of the complaints process?

Just had a most disturbing conversation with the BSA complainant. He told me he hates me more than anyone in the world and hopes my heart stops. I invited him to discuss his issues live on air he told me to get f#%ked. I hope he has people close to him.

@MichaelFieldNZ The Meghan Markle of Nz politics but with a much higher death count.

Finally watched the movie. What an immense character, and what a shameful people who dumped her

@RaevenNZ @Suitandtie9999 Is the racist slur in the room with us now?

@Suitandtie9999 Your take is extraordinary Nat Party boffin. I see no mention of the fact Maiki Sherman ASKED Lloyd Burr if it was appropriate for her to use a homophobic slur given he had just used a racist slur against her. Why has only her comment been mentioned? Racism is entrenched eh?

An extraordinary take on the Maiki Sherman scandal from veteran NZ Herald journalist Audrey — one that perhaps shows just how out of touch she is with acceptable standards of behaviour. Young dismisses the incident as “a bit of ill-judged banter.” She goes on to describe the response as “disproportionate.” Most concerningly, Young expresses surprise at David Seymour, “who thinks the Speaker should strip Sherman of her accreditation and insists with 100% certainty that if an MP had used the same word at a private event, it would have been reported.” I think an overwhelming majority of New Zealanders would agree with Seymour: if an MP — especially one from the right — had used that slur, it would have been reported immediately by the media.

@FullTwatforward Have you not ever heard her speak? Very clearly disabled.

I never knew Tamatha Paul identifies as disabled 🤭🤭🤭 Horrific.

@SandeChin @romulunz @TVNZ @MaikiSherman Burr might be gay but he's still a white male. His place is at the bottom of the victimhood totem pole compared to Maiki Shermans.

@romulunz @TVNZ @MaikiSherman I would like to know why Nicola stayed quiet

So @TVNZ used taxpayers money to threaten other 'news' organisations into silence to protect their golden girl @MaikiSherman from scrutiny of her homophobic and bullying behaviour. Time for some accountability and transparency. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360971…

@GaryPayinda Lol commie Gary larping as a common every man.

The land of the Haves and Have-nots, the wealthy and sorted, where property investors and the highest earners get taxpayer assistance and move ahead while the rest sink. Where the average worker now struggles to afford the basics. Even if you voted for National, you did not vote for this. As a nation, we can do better. We must do better. If govt isn't there to help the regular, average NZer, what good is it? f.mtr.cool/ysesrcxngq Enrol to vote. Make your voice heard. #CostofLiving #Labour #NZ

@xAVHCx @aniobrien Public interest chief, Maiki is paid by the tax payer. Tvnz are funded by the taxpayer and used that funding to threaten other news outlets in to staying silent. This isn't even really about Sherman anymore. Sherman being roasted is just a bonus.

@aniobrien Why did you publish it when both people in the incident didn’t want it to be? Old main character ani

READ: aniobrien.substack.com/p/the-media-la… "Here am I in the bizarre situation of simultaneously receiving aggressive legal correspondence about my Substack article while the sender of that correspondence is relying on that same piece in order to publish its own reports on the matter."

@NicolaWillisMP @LewSOS Probably best to give maiki the zero percent codies this year though.

@LewSOS People are interviewing their keyboards. There has been no suggestion of this from me or the Government. TVNZ has a standing invite to the Budget lockup.

If the government actually seeks to bar TVNZ from the Budget lockup -- especially given how they tried to bar other critics from the Budget lockup last year -- it will be a bigger political outrage than a pivate spat between journalists youtu.be/_Mie-OL9uh8?t=…
