I still feel apprehensive as there’s another ruling to come out, which he’ll likely appeal again. I’m deeply concerned the system still allows people with money to use it in this way. The fact this has dragged on and on and on has profoundly impacted my life.

On the latest news bulletin National are calling for “more transparency” saying they don’t want public trust to diminish, and yet just this morning here was Luxon, diminishing public trust in spades as he refused to be transparent.

Setting aside the fact there's solid evidence Boot camps don't work and none that they do, National’s version will cost $250k each kid.
I realise they'll be popular politically but these
deep systematic issues are not ones that can be solved by sending kids on a camp.

I’ve realised that the longer the palaver with Colin Craig drags on... the better it is for all women, everywhere. Because the more court cases he takes the more coverage this issue gets, the more people what he’s doing, the more sunlight comes onto the wider issues. 🙏☀️

Celebrity and pastor should never be in the same sentence. Could someone tell my brother? He runs the largest Christian organisation in the South Island and is obsessed with his image and ego. “Cos I’m a pastor” is the reason he gives for not supporting my sexual harass battle.

My fave part of this is when a lady on the street is trying to stop him walking into traffic and his camera man is like “I can’t stop him he’s in the anointing” and she’s like “I don’t know what that is but he’s going to get hit by a car” 😆
An embarrassing start for fake pastor Lincoln Russ’ nationwide Repentance Tour, where today on the first stop in Ashburton his refusal to address a locals valid concern for his safety resulted in him having to reprimand a struggling Daniel Sutton on the since deleted live stream.
