My Holiday wishlist. Image of a Christmas tree.

Wishing for women politicians to be protected from online violence, not told to log off.

Wishing for ai deepfakes to be regulated

Wishing for childrens rights online to be taken seriously

Govt considers sidelining Climate Change Commission from emissions advice Climate Change Minister Simon Watts repeatedly denied the plan, but then confirmed it to 1News two days later.

No surprise here - the Govt of the time took great care not to embed or give meaningful power to the commission - any anti climate environment is a resource to be pillaged government coalition was going to hobble & break the commission as a reporting agency. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/19/g...
