This Weeks War on News

This week on The War on News, Martyn Bradbury rips into the theatre of the absurd — starring David Seymour, a missing ferry, and the slow-motion disaster of climate capitalism. 🎭 Three Times a Seymour: David Seymour achieved the rare trifecta of pratdom this week — mocking Chlöe Swarbrick’s stand for Gaza as “peak theatrics,” attacking churches for defending Māori wards, and calling for a review of bike helmet laws because apparently the free market should decide how many concussions you’re allowed. David, who once drove a Jeep up Parliament’s steps, is now lecturing others on political performance. Free speech for me, but not for thee. 🚢 $671 Million and Still No Ferry: Late Friday, the government quietly dropped the full cost of scrapping the iRex ferries: $671 million… for nothing. Nicola Willis has turned public transport into a fairy tale — except instead of magic beans, we got no boat, no plan, and a very expensive lesson in how not to govern. 🔥 The $5 Trillion Climate Tab: A new report from Lloyd’s and the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies says even the least-worst impacts of extreme weather will cost the world $5 trillion over 40 years. That’s the best case scenario. And yet, the pro-industrial complex keeps selling denial while the world catches fire. The week’s news — boiled, battered, and served back with bite. It’s not news. It’s the War on News.
