A useful piece, but the lack of self-reflection on RNZ news itself is dire. The closest it comes is this from Watkins:
"Here in New Zealand, RNZ is at the top of the trust tree. But we're still only getting about half of the people reliably trusting us. I think that speaks to a burning platform.

Ardern and Shaw, willfully or no, were taken for a ride by National and Fed Farmers on climate change. Nats/Feds delayed climate action with false promise of seeking 'consensus'. As soon as they had the power they ditched He Waka Eke Noa and 'Zero Carbon Act'. Don't get fooled again.

They made homelessness exponentially worse on fucking purpose. To make their mates richer.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
