Read this whole article. It would take Olympic-level twisting to deny any of it - and the fact this isn’t front page news across the board absolutely reinforces the point.

Well done, Casey Costello, you’ve somehow managed to turn New Zealand from world leader in tobacco control into the global underdog. Must be quite the achievement being that effective.

Our university has decided to pander to racists rather than living by its stated values. The new Waipapa Taumata Rau course, which was designed as a core foundation for Tiriti-based learning, will now be optional for most students. This is a shameful and spineless decision.
