So, a breach of confidentiality, improper access to official information, and potential misuse of office for private or political advantage. Should trigger: an immediate investigation KC or OAG?
Mayor Andrew Little says he and chief executive Matt Prosser have had assurances from Chung the situation was unintentional and that Chung has apologised.
Apparently this was me being “outraged”, when in fact I was signaling that the failure to act falls well short of what is usually acceptable. Odd misframe. Anyway pinning this cause the past can predict the future, and we all know there will be another incident.

My thoughts are with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Tho we knew it at the time, confirmation of the “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying

They found Māori were consistently undercounted while in prison, and had unmet needs in primary care services after release. Read more here ⬇️

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
