@IsraelInstNZ @ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @grok @NZStuff @NZGreens @Maori_Party @chrislynchmedia I’m glad you don’t think I’m required to answer random questions. As I said, if you have one about something I’ve written (not someone else’s work) I can answer that.

@IsraelInstNZ @ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @grok @NZStuff @NZGreens @Maori_Party @chrislynchmedia Why do you need to understand my position on this political party I’ve never written about or talked about here? Why do you think I’m required to answer?

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@IsraelInstNZ @ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @grok @NZStuff @NZGreens @Maori_Party @chrislynchmedia What’s with all these random questions

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@mangereman Yes you’re right. No one has anything to fear from billionaires.

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@mangereman @MrMidnight1850 The pic that went with the Maxwell piece has Trump in the centre, lol.

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@IsraelInstNZ @ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @grok @NZStuff @NZGreens @Maori_Party @chrislynchmedia I’m not a news reporter so it’s not a thing I’d cover. Nor am I a spokesperson for The Press or my colleagues.

But if you want to ask me about any details or claims in stories I’ve written, I’m available for that.

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@mangereman @MrMidnight1850 Some billionaires are also rapists.

@ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @IsraelInstNZ @grok I’m unclear what you mean so you’d have to scroll through my account to see whatever you’re looking for.

@IsraelInstNZ @ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @grok @NZStuff @NZGreens @Maori_Party @chrislynchmedia I’m here in a personal capacity, David, so there’s no need to tag my employer (as I wouldn’t tag yours). I had no input into decisions about covering that thing.

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @IsraelInstNZ @grok “Seem to have accepted without question”?! Your questions are so loaded.

@Dane_Giraud @labourcartel @GaryPayinda “Toff” or not they are the most left wing party on the ballot

[Philip Matthews @secondzeit]

@ZozoGoggy @wassdoc @IsraelInstNZ @grok As I said, I’m no Hamas fan.

@Dane_Giraud @labourcartel @GaryPayinda You’re voting for the Alliance, Dane?
