Rights Aotearoa: Seymour Weaponise Office To Harass Academics, Luxon Must Act

In a letter sent to the Prime Minister today, Rights Aotearoa condemns Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour for weaponising his office to launch a vicious online harassment campaign against academics. This is not free speech; it is a state-sanctioned pile-on designed to silence dissent and intimidate experts, representing a dangerous breach of the Cabinet Manual's code of conduct. Prime Minister Luxon must stop making excuses for his ministers, enforce his own government's rules, and immediately sanction his deputy to prove that no one is above accountability.
