So the stories about the public sector use of spies and surveillance has disappeared from @NZStuff. Bigger fish to fry. Aggressive vets, lime scooters and punches thrown in coffee bars. stuff.co.nz #SillySeason

@greenjaneNZ @golrizghahraman Of which the undebated & anti-democratic NZ BDRRM Bill is just one example.
