Under the Education and Training Act 2020 NZ universities are required to act as 'a critic and conscience of society'. A senior government minister publicly announcing plans for retribution against an academic because they don't like the opinions expressed by them is deeply troubling and sinister.

“There is a vicious, obvious contradiction at the heart of our economy, indulged by both Labour and National-led governments. ….

The contradiction is that we have a government that denigrates the unemployed. Simultaneously, we have an economic system that deliberately creates unemployment. #nzpol
