Chris still proving he has never liked TPM since he was an advisor for Helen Clark and Trevor Mallard during the Foreshore Act.
Notice how just like he did with Tamatha Paul in the Greens he only ever goes harshly after Māori on the left and not Pākehā. E.g. treating Tamatha way worse than JAG.

This, from OUSA's President, is very good and warrants reading:
"For decades, governments of every stripe have treated universities as businesses to be managed rather than institutions of learning and curiosity. ... Students are rebranded as customers, research, degrees and graduates as outputs."

"Universities teach us to ask questions without tidy answers. They train us to look for truths we didn’t know existed and to challenge assumptions we didn’t realise we held. At their best, they remind us that intellect isn’t about having opinions, it’s about earning them."

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.
Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.
The system is rigged.
