@Pazienza82 "A Fonterra manager with no scientific background was announced as a member of the PM's science and technology advisory council in May. Documents released under the Official Information Act show she had sent Christopher Luxon a text message to tell him she was keen for the gig."

All the protesting reminds me of when David Seymour claimed Atlas Network was just a "conspiracy like Pizzagate" in 2024

But after it was all exposed here, and they couldn't hide it, Atlas Network became one of their official NZ partners i.e Taxpayers Union & NZ Initiative

"Marxism"?
Did she mean:
Karl,
Groucho, or
Onya?

[Tom Roud @Tom_R_Alliance]

Did Elizabeth Rata actually say NZ education has been captured by Marxism? Deeply unserious person.

Interesting: a debate about free speech that does not involve the Free Speech Union. Featuring Simon Wilson, Anjun Rahman, Verity Johnson, Bomber, Thomas Beagle, Yasmine Serhan, chaired by Jane Kelsey. https://t.co/MtoMLFVC0h

She texted the PM to say she was
"keen for a gig to support this national mission."
Then was appointed to the PM's science and technology advisory council with NO SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND.

What happens when a few companies control the market?

Well, RNZ, It's called a "Cost of Living Crisis" for the public, while said companies make record profits.

What's most interesting about "SuitandTie9999" denials on being linked to the Taxpayers Union & Jamie Ross is that Jordan Williams just confirmed the OIA in question IS a Taxpayers Union OIA

And Suit and Tie confirmed the OIA was one he personally filed.

The National government say there is no money for our public services which they are busy running down & the replacement interislander ferries..

BUT they have money to give ex-National MP Paula Bennett a 63% pay rise.

It's about CHOICES on what a government spends its money on.

[Russel Norman @RusselNorman]

We now know that within the Prime Ministers Office there was a political lobbying pathway operating via the PM's Chief Policy Advisor's private email. Fonterra says it was told to send the lobbying docs via this pathway. It may still be operating via other staffers private email addresses.

I thought the Free Speech Union was supposed to support people exercising their right to free speech?

So I assume the government will now remove the NZTA board?

They’re unelected people making decisions for our transport network including overseeing $32B budget over 3 years.

Also isn’t the Health NZ unelected?

Wait… does ACC board have MPs on it or unelected people? Wait…

So "Suit and tie" is likely James Ross from NZ Taxpayers Union. A former UK Tory staffer, Ross is TPU's OIA Lead in a "Suit and Tie". It explains why it was able to feed insider news to Ani O'Brien to take down Maiki Sherman & its MO. Ani works for TPU's Jordan Williams too 🧵
