Gwynn Compton is “Senior Advisor Social Media” in Key’s office.
He’s involved in National’s disastrous social media campaign to change the flag. And he seems to be getting pretty angry about it (ht gitso):
PM’s staff threatening people on Twitter. Such a good look.
Mark Textor is also known to take things personally. In response to my post on whether he was working for Fairfax or Fairfax for him, I got this twitter rant and while you might not agree with me or think I am nuts period, it is interesting that one of the members of the team accredited with winning the last election in England, would come down from his high and mighty perch to call me a cokehead conspiracy nutter for asking that simple question.
they are insecure little boys.
He needs to be sacked before his threats catch up with him.
This is out of order. They should stand down.
Isn’t it great to know that the GCSB has access to all of the NSA’s cyber spying tools.
AND that the senior social media advisor has access to them…
A social media adviser with a locked down twitter account. Too funny š
Reckon it was locked down this morning?
Exactly. With any luck it’ll stay that way for a long, long time.
Social Media ?
Wasnt that the soup du jour for Whaleoils business. ( Social media Consultants Ltd)
Online fingerprints ?
Its that too scary. Must be the GCSB interface with Twitter that allows them to know all this.
heh, top levellers entering the fray eh,
I recall when Rob Fyfe was Air NZ CEO (staff were referred to as āAir New Zealandersā when he was trying to shaft Zeal), anyway I sent an email as part of a campaign to support SFWU members and he responded to me personally at 2.30am with quite a snarky one
^^^^^^ THIS
And people think if they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear…
Jeez, check out his employment history. 10 months here, 1 year there, 3 months here…
ambishus
Is that social media link working for anyone?
Sorry fixed.
Whenever I see a male in charge of social media, I know catastrophic fail can not be far away.
Sexist much?
what sexist drivel – there are dozens of males quite adept at social media
an idiot is an idiot – male, female…. etc
Comment from “non political” Gwynn Compton on Change the flag 4th comment http://www.changetheflag.nz/change_the_nz_flag_launches_campaign
That’s alright then. Luckily it is not a Key operation.
So does this threatening message come from the Office Of The PM?
Because as I understand it, when the Office of the PM speaks, that’s the PM speaking.
Depends who is wearing the hat.
Hats for Hydras – a business with unlimited growth potential.
Enough of the hats.
If this twitter account speaks for his Office, then it’s him.
The question is ‘which Office?’
In this case they seem to be doing the ‘PM speaking ‘ on social media, so thats a yes!
But of course , they could be only ‘fooling around’
‘Stable Of The PM’
“Heās involved in Nationalās disastrous social media campaign to change the flag. And he seems to be getting pretty angry about it (ht gitso):”
Compton’s tweet is from the end of March. It was an attack on an activist anti-govt twitter account. I’m not seeing a connection with the social media fiasco tody i.e. Compton was already pissed off at the account before the flag thing.
Where’s the threat? What did he threaten to do ?
I know where you live. What did I just threaten to do?
Very clever, “Realblue”.
But I know who you really are, and I have the resources at my disposal to keep an eye on you.
Have a nice day : )
Cut it out you guys, no need for all the fuss. I’ve had a chat with Realblue’s employer and he’s going to sort him out for us. Gone by lunchtime, I reckon.
I am my employer, and he thinks you’re hystericalš
And how’s it going, the creeping business?
Nice play on words. It’s commonly known Curia staffers are independent contractors, it’s part of the aspirational aims of the business, so you’re mainly right.
Did he grasp the nature of the threat? Or does he need another clue?
Oh, are we pretending he was genuinely confused from the beginning?
That’s the charitable thing to do.
It can be awkward when evil henchmen can’t take a hint.
Or maybe RealBlue doesn’t realise he’s on the side of the baddies. lol
“….the side of the baddies.” I’d sue you for that but as well as being on the side of the baddies, we also have all the money, the sun and wind is at our back.š
Revert to your normal stalking behaviour?
Is that you, Gwynne? Definitely smart enough.
With a name like Gwynn Compton he’s gotta be a twerp. But, as we know, the PM’s Office is full of em.

Heh! Who, in portraying themselves as some kind of PR / Social Media guru, once wrote:
. . . yep, you guessed it.
lolz!

And, the story has made it to the New Zealand Fox News Herald –> http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11446880
Be interesting to see whether the story appears in the print edition. Claire Trevett may want to emend her comment ” . . . Mr Compton has since locked his Twitter account and removed any reference to Mr Key’s office from his LinkedIn profile . . . ” because Gywnn’s LinkedIn page still has the reference to John Key’s office. Mind you, perhaps Claire was told the reference was removed before Gywnn was told to remove it.
“Mind you, perhaps Claire was told the reference was removed before Gywnn was told to remove it.”
chuckling
In my opinion childish behaviour…..
On a different note, we got a “what do you stand for card?” in our mail box.
My husband filled it out with “the arrest, trial and imprisonment of the Key Cabinet”.
and then duly posted it off. Maybe it needs a better airing on this social media outlet.
