Mike's Minute: The social media ban will not happen

2025/05/12

The social media ban is like the pay equity debate. It's not hard to drum up a lot of emotion and it's not hard to find people who would argue passionately for it. So in this sense, perhaps unlike the pay equity debate, the Government is on the right side of this. For the record, my gut says the pay equity debate is somewhat of a risk, but is more beltway and union-based than many think, and won't ultimately damage the Government. The social media ban won't damage them either, even though it won't

Horowhenua district councillor Sam Jennings told Mike Hosking he's against it and doesn't like that it's been kept behind closed doors until now. He doesn't like the idea of inserting privilege into council policy. The

Am I right to inquire just what it is that Tama Potaka has been doing for a year and a half?
