Who's old enough to remember when all of the right-wingers were outraged that Tova dared to ask her if the boot camps would be permitted to use physical force against their rangatahi, including Karen Chhour who called these & related questions "revolting" www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Minister defends proposing bootcamp providers have use-of-force powers against kids, but can’t say who they could be
She wouldn’t say what safeguards may be included against these powers.

If you want to know why ppl like John Key back ppl like Trump you need look no further than this
One Biden priority "has been to reassert public regulatory powers over the economy, reversing 40 years of corporate control. And you know it’s working because the titans of industry, who have felt the coziness of government capture for decade, are throwing a fit." prospect.org/economy/2024...
The End of the Whole-of-Government Approach?
In the Biden administration, some officials actually tried to govern. The squealing from corporations made clear that this novelty was effective.
