The other overlooked thing with the IPCA’s McSkimming investigation was its own failure to pick up the fact it was tagged in a complaint by the woman in 2018 on Facebook.
This wasn’t 2008-era Facebook, this was 2018. But still, too many agencies see social media as a one-way comms game.

HDPA needs to resign over this. Women don’t need to be perfect victims to speak up. This woman has been mistreated by McSkimming, the Police and now NZME because of her desperation at being silenced by the agency women are told they MUST go to in order to be believed.

"Its particularly stinging to have to discuss this matter on this day" - because its meant to be about remembering victims of abuse and instead we're again talking about abusers #nzqt

So any recognition of the National Day of Remembrance for survivors of abuse in care has now been overshadowed by power plays, abuse and cover ups by another institution…

The woman who accused McSkimming is owed a public apology.
It’s not enough that the charge for her “harassment” of McSkimming has been withdrawn.
She endured NINE YEARS of gaslighting by Police - yet her complaints also led to the discovery that he had objectionable material on his work devices.

I mean… could we sell the farms and buy back some electricity generation assets you guys sold off another time this didn’t work?

NZ needs to have a ‘mature conversation’ about selling state assets, PM says
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has indicated asset sales could be included in National’s manifesto for the 2026 election.

Wow! This is so helpful to see what Bsky is hiding from you. Remember that things can get flagged as "rude" or "threatening" as a form of censorship, or for being liberal or radical. And I often see classical art showing bums labeled as "sexually explicit" which is ridiculous. 🙄

Just a normal day where “free speech” advocate Stephen Franks enthuses over Brian Tamaki scaring children who just wanted to be read stories by folk in fun costumes.

I think there’d be a bunch of ANZACs in trenches honoured to know the day memorialising them is also exactly 9 months before the most common birthday in Australia.

RNZ’s headline on the death of Lee Tamahori describes him as a “legendary Ngāti Porou filmmaker”.
1News, the Herald and Stuff, on the other hand, just went with “Once Were Warriors director”.

Sorry, given we’ve just hit a nine-year high in unemployment, it’s frankly irresponsible that RNZ angled its coverage of KiwiSaver hardship withdrawals this way.

One of the key issues of reporting on bills before they are drawn from the ballot. NZF has just magnified it.
NZ First MPs keep proposing laws they have no intention of passing, and the media falls for it every time.
