My mother survived walking through Hiroshima the day after as a 13 year old, so I have a fair idea of what a nuclear holocaust looks and feels like

This thread that you started @mehr.nz hits the nail on the head. Not sure if you know about Nicky Hager's book 'Dirty Politics', but it is a good read. Collins is a dastardly feature in it. Hager won every defamation suit brought against what he wrote in that book.

when I met Collins at Parliament in 2024, at an event honouring NZ scientists, I was struck by how utterly disengaged she was. PM Luxon, despite approving of the demise of NZ science funding, at least was eager to talk to the scientists who took the time to show up in Wellington. She didn't care.

Farewell Judith. I think I caused you to accidentially resign as a minister that one time when your boss thought I had emails that I didn't. And your stubborness on Twitter when I called you out for you citing fake news was pretty funny.
