Listening to luxon last year when in opposition talking about this subject and saying perception of conflict yes perception was big deal . Nek minute he is in charge now he has not seen the tobbaco evidence over and over still have not seen it this goes way beyond perception it outright dishonest lieing
Turkeys will never vote for an early Christmas , no Administartion has the guts to chop these lobbyists off esp as the bulk of them are ex one or another Administartion or sons/daughters of etc...
We really need strong independent journalism now more than ever. Very happy to support you (Bernard H & others). Keep at finding the truth and letting everyone know
We come back to the power of journalism. At this time we need greater discussion. Geoffrey Palmer put it well -
“A famous American judge, Louis Brandeis, once said, “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants, electric light the most efficient policeman.”
That is why we have an Official Information Act and have done so since 1982. New Zealand was an early adopter of freedom of access to government information.
While it was a positive contribution to transparency, there are serious problems with it now and reluctance by ministers of both main parties to do anything significant about it. And the application of the Act to some centres of public power is lacking.”
I frequently think back to National/Act plus the media conspiring to destroy Michael Wood over the (on their scale) trivial airport shares. Not holding my breath for either of your options

Hmm... shared thi on fb and it was removed, claimed it was against community standards.
Yes I see it was removed - Facebook censorship. You can complain as ask for a review
Did ask for a review and posted it again. So far it's still up, with a couple of responses.
Yeah, me too.
Love your exceptional work Bryan!! Super informative and easy to understand.

More is now needed.
Well said Gloria
