Last week, David Seymour demanded in a press release that Willie Jackson should “come out and deny that he is meeting with journalists this week to discuss how they should report on the Treaty”.
Seymour’s challenge to the Minister for Broadcasting and Media was based on reasonable grounds. As he put it, “This government has form when it comes to encouraging media to report its version of the Treaty. The $55 million Public Interest Journalism Fund, for example, was only open to media who were willing to report Labour’s view of the Treaty.”
