For those who can’t see the graphics, the co-chair of the Health Coalition Aotearoa tweeted:

• We now have a fascist white supremacist government
• She hopes David Seymour never breeds
• The Government has a deliberate policy to kill off Maori

Yet this person gets treated by the media as a neutral expert, with masses of air and print time. Now imagine a right leaning academic said the Ardern Government was a Marxist racist Government, how Jacinda should never breed, and they have a deliberate policy to kill off Europeans. How much media space would that person get – zero right. They would rightfully be dismissed as an extremist.

People have every right to be an extremist. It’s good we get to see how deranged some of these people are. But lets not pretend they are neutral experts.
