@rnzfans There’s been a whole lot of inappropriateness from RNZ with regards to their continued bullying and harassment of Kiri Allan over an unsubstantiated allegation raised by National’s Simeon Brown. Despite no record of any wrongdoing #RNZ continued their campaign to destroy Kiri Allan. #NZPol #NZMedia #DirtyPolitics

@Martin_NZ @NZedAUS Compassion? RNZ knows the role they have played in the coordinated #DirtyPolitics baseless attacks aggravating Kiri Allan’s recent mental health struggles. It’s time for #RNZ’s part in #NZPol #DirtyPolitics to be exposed.

@jackyan @lotographia Someone at RNZ recorded Kiri Allan’s speech at the event and leaked it to the TPU who wanted it published but Kiri claimed she was speaking in a personal capacity as Mani’s partner not as a Minister. That was the beginning of the #DirtyPolitics campaign to destroy Kiri Allan by anonymous RNZ and political operatives.

@jackyan @lotographia RNZ are now late on my OIA request for all correspondence between RNZ and National MPs or National staffers regarding the Kiri Allan bullying allegations. I will be reminding #RNZ today that this request is overdue. I’m in no doubt that this has been a calculated and coordinated #DirtyPolitics attack on Kiri Allan.

@daphlawless Labour won in 2017 because Paula Bennett and friends leaked Winston Peters' personal super info in a fk'd up #DirtyPolitics hit job that back fired.

Judging by the media silence, the story about the prominent RW political figure accused of sexually assaulting boys and young men is obviously far less scandalous than the allegation Simeon Brown has made against Kiri Allan who, allegedly, shouted at a staff member over a year ago.
Anyhow Mr X has just won his legal fight to keep his name secret and have the court case delayed until after the #NZPol #NZVotes2023 election. #DirtyPolitics

@CraigKendrickNZ
True that.
John Blomfield was already in my genealogy database (#DirtyPolitics fallout) but I didn't know the story.

@AnneleiseHall @Martin_NZ @ArrestJK I remember the 2014 election like it was yesterday. That's the year the Key govt made us remove this song from sale on itunes and video from online by threatening police prosecution. I also recall the silence from the Free Speech Union as we took the Key govt to court and won. A highlight after High Court hearing was Darren Watson & I meeting #DirtyPolitics author Nicky Hager at the Back Bencher for a beer. #NZPol

Pedro Almodovar, one of my favorite directors, warns about the choice of Spain on 23 of July. Spain cannot be compared with Turkey in terms of modernity or democracy, but the way the right does politics, the discourses it uses, issues etc. how similar to each other almost all over the world... https://www.eldiario.es/cultura/cine/diario-vuela-pluma-pedro-almodovar-si-ultraderecha-entra-instituciones-garete_129_10345567.html #misinformation #lgbtq #homophobia #disinformation #dirtypolitics #spain #23dejulio #turkeyelections #loveislove #freedomofspeech

Not sure what kind of response this will get but have just emailed this OIA request to George Bignell @ RNZ. #NZPol #DirtyPolitics

@critical_gaze @riverboatcaptain The story was originally broken on Twitter by David Farrar. #DirtyPolitics

Currently working on an OIA request regarding correspondence between RNZ and National Party staffers / MPs re recent bullying allegations broadcast by RNZ without any supporting evidence or official complaints supporting MP Simeon Brown's allegations.

If enough of us request info we may get a peek behind the curtain. #NZPol #DirtyPolitics

I used to work with Tory before she got into politics and we’d share some wines. She was very dignified then and knows the importance of it even more so now which is why I know this is such a beat up #dirtypolitics

@han_dall #DirtyPolitics is definitely focused on targeting our wahine politicians at the moment. I am sad to see #RNZ becoming such a big player in these baseless attacks and innuendo.

I am hoping #RNZ's Kathryn Ryan understands how #DirtyPolitics works. I am sitting here listening to her throw out National's Simeon Brown's unsubstantiated claims about Kiritapu Allan as if they are facts. Allegations without any evidence are baseless reckons. Give us the news not your reckons Kathryn. #NZPol #NZMedia

Can anyone explain why RNZ had National Party member, Brigitte Morten, on Midday Report today to give her opinion on the Kiri Allan allegations that were made by National MP Simeon Brown. The political neutrality of RNZ is becoming increasingly difficult to accept. #NZPol #RNZ #NZMedia #DirtyPolitics

@ArrestJK The big story here is how did this story ever find its way to an alleged scandal. #DirtyPolitics is nobody's friend.

FFS we now have ##DirtyPolitics player Ben Thomas on RNZ's panel talking about the pressures of working for a Minister in reference to the obviously coordinated hit job by National and RNZ on Kiri Allan. #NZPol

@NZedAUS It is to be expected that National would resort to #DirtyPolitics as that’s their modus operandi. What I find particularly disturbing is Radio New Zealand’s involvement with pushing National’s speculative narrative without any evidence. I personally believe RNZ needs to be investigated by an independent inquiry.

@ClareBear
👆 Definitely worth reading.

“National have had a disastrous week in the media, a conference with a stale old policy that they hadn’t even bothered to cost. What they have chosen to do about it is throw Kiri Allan under a bus to take the heat off of them.”

#DirtyPolitics is the National modus operandi particularly in an election year.
