Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Toby Manhire investigates the curious case of the Labour logos stuck to Efeso Collins’ hoardings, Stewart Sowman-Lund interviews departing Morning Report host Susie Ferguson and Te Kuru Dewes finds out it’s no accident that so much new Māori music is hitting the mainstream these days. But first, Max Rashbrooke on Kris Faafoi and the revolving door.
“Kris Faafoi’s got us all in a spin. A cabinet minister barely three months ago, and now the country’s newest lobbyist, he has gone through the revolving door between politics and corporate life so fast it must still be spinning. And of course one of his new roles, at lobbying and public relations firm Dialogue 22, will be… spinning. Why does this matter? Because it highlights a key weakness in New Zealand’s integrity rules.”
