Does no one in NZ media find it *weird* that both Bridges and Bennett have been given podcast platforms (alongside other media slots) straight off the back of leading NZ's largest rightwing party? Do people in those organisations not ache from the constant whiplash?

Don't think we've had a PM in my lifetime with even close to the recall that Ardern has, even with briefing that's not easy and it's a major factor in her ability to do the comms thing everyone raves about

Hey team, when a politician uses this rhetoric then "just reporting" it is far from enough. It becomes an outright fuck-up. Peters invokes nazism in bad faith against co-governance, then turns round & uses fascistic, othering language about immigrants. Please do your goddamn job.

There is no renter in the world who hasn't experienced a landlord taking part, or all, of their bond under false pretenses

And don't @ me with "But they shouldn't have trashed the place then". I've had personal experience of landlords completely misrepresenting what "fair wear and tear" and "reasonably clean and tidy" is, and attempting to deduct from the bond because of this.

NZ's journalists *cannot* keep publishing this stuff verbatim while the National coalition cuts *everything* to fund incredibly unnecessary and imbalanced tax breaks for landlords - the people that need it least in the way that is the least productive!

He'll definitely delete this, but file as yet another reason this man should be nowhere near political commentary in this country. Why have our media outlets encouraged this for so many years? He's always been this nasty, and this isn't even the worst mask slip.
