I'm referring to comments he made last week on Reality Check Radio. Oddly, follow-up coverage by RNZ doesn't specify that either. Coverage of NZFirst lately has been, frankly, a bit feckless.

Shane Jones is spouting some of the most vile racism I have heard in #nzpol and it's barely being reported on. Left bloc MPs have lost careers for far less.
NZ media has this strange presumption of evil that ultimately empowers our worst politicians.

We are stoked to be a part of the Earth Appreciation Festival on Steam this year, organised by the awesome folks at @slugdisco.bsky.social 🪩

Toroa: Skycall is a whopping 20% off PLUS we will be donating 20% of our sales made during this event to the Royal Albatross Centre!!! 🌊💙

These unhinged rants are why we should not be following the US into war. Also a reminder that Israel and the US started this war by dropping a bomb on a school full of children. Say no to AUKUS. Say no to US military payloads being launched from Aotearoa soil.

Ōtepoti!

There’s a nationwide day of action this Sunday to oppose the government’s proposed Move On orders.

At best it’s ineffective policy, and at worst it’s performative cruelty.

Come write letters to government MPs, calling for a little compassion.

Sunday, 11am-1pm

From the 20th-27th of March (NZT) Toroa: Skycall is 15% off during the Steam Spring Sale! 🌼🐝🐣

This one really cranked up the average councillor blood pressure nationwide

I'm not a prolific creative by any means, and there has been very little in the way of critical analysis of Toroa, so listening to these two lovely people fully connect with the game and GET what we were going for is so, so moving. Big mihi Kim and AJ!! 💓💓💓🪽🪽🪽

Big Y this is genuinely my fruit bowl atm

It ripped! Thank you so much for organising!

Best meetup I've been to in aaaaaages! Really invigorating to find so many people just fanging to make Ōtepoti a better space for living in.

Unbelievable cynicism at play!

We should have left it in honestly

catching up on #devmas! 🎄

Mauri ora e te whānau!

Tune in and lock in gang

📯ŌTEPOTI MENTIONED!📯 Extensively. It's baked into the game design really.

Introducing… the Northern Royal Albatross!! 🐥🪶💙 #indiegames #relaxing #nature #videogames

More and more people are saying this!

The coalition has done spectacular damage in one short term, and we're going to need a brave, visionary new government to fix it. Labour's "balance the books" chat is absolutely chilling because it means next election's BEST outcome is... Slightly gentler austerity.

Don't forget the Polytech federation model

Setting aside the actual impact of it for a sec: bloody hell this release is disrespectful to our regional councillors www.beehive.govt.nz/release/simp...
