    Has anyone read the emails which reportedly were mischaracterizing Luxon's position on the Israel/US attacks on Iran?

    I've followed every link I can find but haven't been able to read them. Can anyone point them out?

    Reportedly mischaracterizing?

    They were reportedly representing, afaik.

    The Right wing cover-up story, particularly that voiced by Chris Bishop, pretended they were mischaracterizings.

    "Christopher Luxon has declined to provide further evidence supporting his claim that he was mischaracterised in recently released emails involving his position on the Iran conflict."

    Mayor Wayne Brown hates Peters with a passion because they are functionally identical in both character and in their politics, and both have far north bases.

    Luxon is now paying the price for simply not delivering any agreement of substance to Brown, so Brown now gets to make him pay for it all the way to the election.

    Couldn't happen to nicer people.

      Look, there’s our ‘dog’ of a CEO with two tails – Jeez Wayne's quick.

      Gotta wonder whose right-wing arse he pulled this Green/TPM reckon out of.

      If Chlöe [Swarbrick] likes something, whoever is in charge of the Māori Party doesn’t like it.

    Tidal power interesting. Stewart Island people? What if Stewart Island had tidal power set up as part of the Data conglomeration blot on the landscape? Good or bad?
