OPINION AND ANALYSIS by Mohan Dutta: What happened to Benjamin Doyle was one of the clearest recent demonstrations in Aotearoa of a script the global far right has perfected. They select a target whose identity sits at the margins, manufacture a moral panic around that identity, amplify it through high-follower accounts that launder the panic into respectable scrutiny, and then, when the costs are named, perform victimhood.

They rushed it under urgency.

In 2 days we’ve seen 2 issues with bills passed under urgency.

1. Pensioners lost winter energy payment
2. Ratepayers realised they are paying for infrastructure for large scale developments approved under fast track

Ani O'Brien led a pizzagate-style hate campaign against a queer MP, based on nothing but disgusting innuendo, causing real-life danger to a child. What a joke. https://t.co/wMkkg20pdJ

‘Threats and harassment are never acceptable, directed at anyone…The difference is that some of us hold the principle for everyone, and some deploy it selectively, loudly for themselves and their allies, never for the non-binary MP whose child asked them to come home.’

🌸NEW INTAKE ALERT🌸
Meet Akira💗 One of our wonderful volunteers went to go save this kitty after it was posted on the citizen app. Apparently she was trapped in a car engine since 6:30am the day before! that means she was there through all that rain. 😞

PAYPAL INBIO PLEASE.

"None of this is idiosyncratic to Aotearoa. The targeting of gender diverse people is a structural feature of contemporary far-right politics, documented across a substantial body of research. And on victimhood, the far right’s signature affect, Mitch Berbrier’s classic study of the victim ideology of white supremacists remains the essential text." - Mohan Dutta https://t.co/XJFrRU2Idz

Even if they're was no other reason to vote Luxons Government out, we need to do so for this. Bishops right to pollute in the name of economic development is obscene

Violent crime is up

Luxons made the COL worse

[Ko Raeven toku ingoa 🇳🇿 @RaevenNZ]

I agree with @HelenClarkNZ.
TOP should not be a serious choice for any voter.
A Trojan horse party that only appear in election year, a leader who answered an ad for the job, a board who can veto caucus decisions?
No one can take them seriously can they? https://t.co/Ue1pcvPyyz

[Cioccolata234 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine @Cioccolata234]

Here's her record. What this woman has done, by twisting tiny pieces of information into a narrative of hate against a NZ MP leading to his resignation, is pure evil. Along with the Free Speech Union, she has now repeated such abuse against others. She has to be stopped - now!

[Niall Harbison @NiallHarbison]

This is pepper. She once had an owner but they left her behind and went back to their country.

She lived on the street for years but recently had an issue. We’re trying to transform her life for her (1/6)

The interview didn't look like a train wreck to me. Maybe stubbing your toe on the way to the railway station. https://t.co/mvwxuDXaQ3

“McClay told Stoltz he was appointing a facilitator to work with the council and other stakeholders”. This looks like significant overreach from the Minister. Any constitutional law experts with a view?
