A great insight into how the #NZPol right manipulate #NZMedia compared with the left, with a particular focus on the legitimacy of the #TPU and Curia polling.

Marsden"[&] People with their own serious stories, who have been messaging off and on for months, ... are finally ready to speak. They text. They email. They DM. They Signal. They WhatsApp. They Viber. But I had zero capacity. I couldn’t open them. That feels awful, because I know roughly what’s in them, and how many more failures there are."

"Some weeks in journalism feel much bigger than the people doing the work, than any one newsroom or byline or reporter. This was one of those weeks.
...
There is a direct line .... to the public now seeing the truth, which didn’t surface on its own. People had to push it there. Detectives. Journalists. Editors. Lawyers. Everyone who insisted on more than silence."

StephenAmid yesterday's #ExtremeWeather 💨, @bernardchickey.bsky.social was blown away by #NZmedia's reticence to use the C-word:

Thursday's Early Bird & Dawn Chorus: The elephant in our news
Kōtare I made the mistake of reading two paragraphs penned by Damien Grant this morning, and i think I'll need the day off.
"Teachers and school leaders across the country are dealing daily with the impact of poverty, trauma, inequity, inadequate resourcing for diverse learners, and the pressures on families brought by the cost-of-living crisis. ... To reduce the complexity of education in this country to whether a classroom has a door or not, is not only simplistic but also misleading."

It is a real shame to see zero coverage of this global rescue mission in #NZMedia but great to see both #Aotearoa #NewZealand and #Australia being represented on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla heading to #Gaza to break the siege, something the #NZPol #AusPol governments should be doing.
I hope the govt's of all participants from at least 44 different countries use their sovereign power to bring justice should anything happen to these brave people.

Two #NZPol facts that #NZMedia and #National seem unwilling to acknowledge.
1. While in opposition during Covid National pushed Labour to include large businesses in wage subsidies and in fact wanted the Labour government to increase its wage subsidies.
2. The majority of NZ economists who warned pre 2023 election that National’s tax cuts were unaffordable and would lead to an economic downturn have been proven correct.

It seems #Luxon is becoming more and more desperate to distract #NZMedia and the #NZPol public away from his own government's catastrophic failures and somehow try to blame their ineptitude on Labour. Luxon is so bad at this it's like he's morphing into NZ's very own Temu Trump,
Why would f**kin #Hipkins be releasing Labour's election policies 16 months away from the next election Mr #Luxon?
