This bit I put up on my way to take my kid to the playground has done weird numbers completely unasked so now I’m going to actually request a signal boost, purely because Posting would be the funniest possible way to get a comms job #nzpol #kikorangi
Hey Green Party, put me on comms and not only will I double this run rate, I will get the whole party on Bluesky
I haven't done actual number-crunching, but from following the media releases published on Scoop, it feels like ACT are putting out around 10 media releases for every one by Labour or the Greens. An activist party in government that continually feeds its friends in the media.
