Mark Mitchell says 36 emails were sent to his office but also that a protocol had been put in place by the Police Commissioner's office to prevent him seeing them.
I'd love a journo to ask:
1. When was the protocol put in place?
2. When did Mark Mitchell become aware of the protocol?

Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon
New Zealand was among only a handful of countries - including the US, Japan and South Korea - which had not formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

This government’s reaction to being told its economic policies are worse than Ruth Richardsons is not to change direction, but to give an award to Ruth Richardson

One of the only Atlas Network goals not yet being pushed in Aotearoa is 'criminalising peaceful protests'. But now we have the IPCA advocating an offence 'to protest without permission' (& more). We're like a mini crewmate version of the US descent into darkness - eyes open folks #nzpol #kikorangi

David Seymour is suggesting that people could get better private healthcare for $6000 per person per annum. It only takes cursory familiarity with healthcare costs to understand what a farce that statement is. 🧵

Psst:...advice from my big brother: direct all your anger and outrage at Luxon for allowing such craven bullshit from his coalition partners - he's the one who handed them the power. He won't like the heat.
