For four, my inclination is to use two to mark the North Island edges rather than centreline.

Some (at least one but I forget if there were others) are dead. So not currently reoffending.

But where this is coming from is that it is not enough just to respond with facts, because that doesn't affect the production and consumption of more bullshit amount the same people, so a response needs to explicitly frame both the accuracy (proven) AND motive of sources.

Where I am, I'm favour of directly calling out the values framing misinformation, to use the disjoint from reality as lever to draw attention to motives. For instance, recently right wing politicians here expressed imported concern about fertility rates (great replacement theory adjacent concerns)
