Casey Costello denied that it existed. Now, she's released it but with parts redacted.
Perhaps its time to put an end to lobby groups.

It sems clear that the tobbaco industry got its wish.

Its certainly starting to look that way, & probably unlikely to just be this govt.

It's definitely time to put an end to Casey Costello's job as an MP except Luxon hasn't got the balls to castigate a coalition party's members for fear of risking his present entitlements.
True - he's more likely to just let it slide after making a few slightly disapproving noises about it; nothing too strong of course.
Te ao with Moana last night had both Chris Hipkins & Chloe Swarbrick...some interesting comments on this govt & amazingly, Hipkins actually said that his govt had got some things wrong.
