Listening to RNZ's political commentary https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/2018919015/political-commentators-jones-and-hurdle and I'm intrigued that they refer to the companies their two pundits today represent as 'public affairs firms'... that's just a euphemism for 'lobbying firms', but I suspect most people won't realise that. Why doesn't RNZ just tell it like it is?
Political commentators Jones & Hurdle

Neale Jones and Tim Hurdle take a look at how the opposition is challenging the new Government. And, how the three-way coalition makes seating in the House a little different. The panellists also discuss the mini-budget, due to be released on December 20. Neale Jones was chief of staff to Labour leader Jacinda Ardern, and before that was chief of staff to Andrew Little. He is the director of public affairs firm Capital. Tim Hurdle is a former National senior adviser, was the National Party campaign director in 2020. He is a director of several companies, including Museum Street Strategies, a public affairs firm.

You know, I‘m starting to suspect that Cop28 might have been captured by corrupt, dishonest, self-serving, greedy tossers. I can‘t quite put my finger on why, but these headlines from the Guardian are giving very subtle hints that letting a bunch of authoritarian shit-heel oligarchs run a climate conference might have been a terrible idea. #cop28

Musk finally went that step too far. He got used to being able to say whatever he wanted on Twitter because he can unilaterally punish the accounts of anyone he didn’t like, and forgot there are consequences for shooting off his mouth.
