This is so bad. Utterly shameful. No excuses for this blatant misogyny and protection of powerful predators….that’s what this is about - protecting the powerful regardless of their crimes - a woman is to blame. Career protection? Yeah that’s clear woman-hate right there.
this should immediately have a commentator REMOVED from their roles, instead it’s a strong signal of just how decrepit and servile to power nz media is

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.
More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.
There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

Omg. I bet this was about access journalism like the last trump regime. Media bosses sucking up to Trump, knowing he was burning the USA to the ground, because “Imagine the sales when we break the story of USA descending into civil war”
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Cause they are only getting to be this awful, cause we have let them.
There is under 3000 billionaires - and yet we are absurdly loyal to them while they steal from us.
We can stop letting them. Start by taxing them. Properly. Then move to regulating greed.

The files are out, pardoning sexual offending is completely consistent with the child rapist the USA has as president.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

Mark Mitchell says 36 emails were sent to his office but also that a protocol had been put in place by the Police Commissioner's office to prevent him seeing them.
I'd love a journo to ask:
1. When was the protocol put in place?
2. When did Mark Mitchell become aware of the protocol?

So as a police minister, what you are saying is that you (mark Mitchell) have been completely ineffective and the police don’t take your seriously and don’t keep you informed.
Looks like you failed in your job Mr Mitchell.
You have not hit one single KPI - why have you still got your job?
