ACT’s media statement is objectively factually inaccurate and it keeps being reprinted without disclaimer.

They did not take immediate action, they waited until the last possible moment, and turned responsibility over to Jago to resign, rather than cleaned house.

These people don't understand that anything but yes is a NO, they try and manipulate you to try and convince others that you consented. I often wonder how this carries over in other areas of their lives where consent applies, like when we call it rape when someone doesn't get consent for others. 👀
The story behind every no…makes me so much more prouder 🙌🏽 #kotahitanga
