Yes! We need more high profile voices to highlight harassment and abuse against women and Māori in politics. I’m so glad Fisher has kept a light on this issue. Bravo. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Disinformation spreads so easily online because of the architecture of social media platforms & lack of accountability for info that gains virality. Mainstream media need to take the time to check sources & ultimately make sure they're not feeding into the same often racist, misogynist framing
Tory Whanau@misswhanau.bsky.social · last yr.I’m glad we’re having this discussion. But id also like to see some accountability from some media and their part in this. Let’s not forget RNZ published an unverified rumour as fact. That is not ok. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/thehous...

Dr. Cassandra Mudgway@legallyfeminist.bsky.social · last yr.(Sorry I'm always sayin the same thing, but every news item about this gets it twisted) Ray Chung’s email about Tory Whanau is not some random thing he did. It’s part of a global pattern: women leaders being targeted with false, sexist rumours to undermine their credibility and leadership. #nzpol 🧵
We've seen bullying in local government recently. But it starts at the top. I launched this petition because our Deputy Prime Minister belittled people for exercising their democratic rights. His behavior sets the tone and empowers others. This must stop. #nzpol

#NZ He wrote the email to smear & discredit Tory. He regrets being caught. He undermined his campaign. His email a blatant political attack & He abused Tory. “To be crystal clear”, this did start with Him. He should call himself out - out of the race. He’s not fit for office.

“So no, it turns out politicians won’t work together on the big issues. Not when the issue is: Should a brown woman be allowed to lead without being torn apart? Not when the issue is: Should we believe misogynist rumours, or challenge them?” Stellar and vital commentary as always from Emily Writes.

Despite enduring a constant stream of false and malicious rumours throughout this term, I’ve chosen to stay focused on our city’s progress. Now, mayoral candidates who have helped spread these rumours are standing for election. This behaviour is not acceptable and voters deserve to know. #nzpol
