Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel.
Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow.
Never doubt the power of collective action.
