    We take democracy for granted, we think that once our societies have achieved it, it will always be available to us. But democracies depend on us all, we need to constantly work on the social contract. We make, or break, our democracies every single day.

    I'm back. I cleared my name. Thank you for all the support I received from my academic peers at University of Canterbury and around the world, from NZ Members of Parliament, and from the many people in Aotearoa and across the world who have offered support. Cheers!

    China's message to Australia and NZ: we can cut off your air and sea links in the Tasman without warning. 🇨🇳 aggressive act is a shot across the bow to 🇦🇺 and 🇳🇿, but also the countries of the South West Pacific. My latest @Diplomat_APAC

    Five years ago, I sounded the alarm about how NZ was being targeted by a concerted foreign interference campaign by China. It is has taken 2 lengthy Parliamentary inquiries, and 4 years of internal discussion to get us to the point where NZ government would name the problem.

    Some of the biggest names in social media, from @Twitter to @LinkedIn @Zoom & @Facebook, appear to be getting into a habit of silencing CCP critics. Yesterday it was my turn to be censored. Thanks for your support in getting it overturned @edwardlucas

    Twitter must not buckle to Beijing’s pressure
    The Chinese Communist Party does not just decide what its own subjects read and say. It determines your doings too. Yesterday it stopped someone in New Zealand

    🇨🇳 government now denying Australia & NZ's right to accreditation of Head of Mission in Hong Kong SAR. HK is a separate customs territory, so China is denying HK economic autonomy & punishing HK, Australia & NZ for #COVID19 travel bans to China travelers

    A leading NZ🇳🇿 news site tells readers commentary must follow PRC🇨🇳 law, or they'll risk being reported to CCP govt. There should be a law against this foreign interference, but NZ media laws are weak & the NZ Media Council principles ignore censorship.
