Reporter Andrea Vance emailed questions to New Zealand's Minister of Health and National Party election campaign manager Simeon Brown.
Within three hours she was publicly attacked by the Atlas Network aligned Free Speech Union (sic) for daring to ask the questions.
This is so scandalous that Atlas Network aligned reporter Luke Malpass wrote this story.

These references to "her previous public profile" ate intriguing. Is she a TERF or a full-blown cooker? Either would pass must under Simeon Brown. Searching 'News' for "Manoja Kalupahana" brings up nothing and Stuff say their earlier story was never published. So why is the FSU getting so prematurely defensive? Presumably Dr Kalupahana has a dodgy past they'd rather we forget. I, for one, would like to know more. @zl2tod@mastodon.online #Kalupahana
