Campaign Kōrero

23 June, 2026

I’ve been a bit under the pump this week and to be honest and there’s not a huge amount of extra stuff to report so no real need for a Campaign Kōrero video!

Although I did want to point out that after crying the BSA was useless and media doesn’t regulation, it’s absolutely hilarious to me that Ani O’Brien made a media council complaint about how two outlets represented her involvement in the actions of Chris Hipkins’ ex-wife and the Media Council told her she is wrong. So please enjoy that win!

So instead check out this thing I did for our most recent episode of The Collective looking at the influence that can bought in Parliament and how it’s done and why we need to change things! In fact Ani’s boss at the Free Speech Union, where she’s a board member or the tax payers union who apparently pay her as a staffer, or the campaign company where she apparently worked on the anti Maori ward referendum campaign for Hobson’s Pledge gets a mention.
