They claimed to Winston outside the NZ First conference that they ‘feel’ like they are victims in the Christchurch atrocity because they’ve lost their sacred right to own machine guns.
A University is EXACTLY the place to hold a feminism conference. A University is legally mandated to be the critic of society, they uphold that obligation with academic free speech. To conflate health and safety obligations to staff and students to protect them from ideas they don’t like is intellectually bankrupt.
Winston’s power has always been as kingmaker, but can he carry that off if the electorate all believe he will side with Labour?
…in a very real sense, allowing climate denial to become an openly discussed policy plank of the largest political party in NZ is probably more dangerous than anything else that happened this week.
…if we can pay Jeff Bezos $375m for a Lord of the Rings TV show, why can’t we save tv3?
For once in a long list of condemnations by me of police shooting people and avoiding the Courts where their culpability for killing should be determined – rather than the IPCA aka “Boys Club”.
WHAT’S HAPPENED to our universities?
What Massey have done is conflate the relationship between University and staff/students to that of a parent protecting their children from unpleasant content, that’s not their responsibility.
MediaWorks will need to scout for broadcasting talent who can do their thing inside a studio rather than expensive writers and costly post production. The short term future will be more like talk back radio with pictures that can generate ratings and gain advertising profit from greatly reduced costs.
SIMON BRIDGES may be right. He’s clearly betting everything National has on the New Zealand electorate being neither outraged nor offended by his behaviour.
