wonder if we'll see this get *critical* coverage in mainstream media, or will it be another excuse - like for Laws, Ikilei, Henry, Jones and Peters himself - to platform and amplify extremist rhetoric OR just give the guy an easy little puffpiece interview to profile lies to the public?

This RNZ article demonstrates pretty clearly that the moderators let Peters run over them - and reveals the "Winston won" narrative is just a result of Winston talked more and longer than anyone else. That's poor work from the moderators! It's favouring the govt. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Who talked the most?

Peters chalked up 3013 discernable words during the debate compared to second place Seymour's 2781.

Waititi said 2122 words and Swarbrick and Wong both fewer than 2000. At just 1045 words, Wong spoke roughly a third of the words as Peters.

The percentage of words Peters spoke was in line with his performances in debates in 2020 and 2023.

The reason Seymour and Peters hate RNZ is because Seymour hates all public media and Peters can't get away with his cooked culture war Reality Check Radio bull dust. That RNZ appear to be slowly disintegrating their integrity because of those two idiots is rank cowardice from RNZs board and leaders.

It could also have wider economic effects; when low paid workers have less money, they buy less at the supermarket, less food is ordered from suppliers, than flows on to growers. You can't have a successful economy when a large chuck of the population can't afford to participate in it
