Ah yes, Winston wants to put public servants in prison for not telling the minister what she wants to hear. Classic.

Grandstanding? That's literally his whole career 😂

Bloody oath. If they deliberately withheld info then lock 'em up. Sick of public service protecting their own mates.

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T03:21:56.000Z

Yeah nah, this is just Winston playing to the gallery. Heard this song before. Nothing will happen.

Chloe Martin2026-06-17T04:08:56.000Z

get stuffed, they're not the ones who signed off on dodgy visa decisions

ffs, politicians blaming everyone but themselves. Maybe if they'd actually read the papers they wouldn't need info spoonfed.

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T04:19:56.000Z

facts. just politicians passing the buck.

Deliberately withheld? Sounds like someone covering their arse. But prison is a bit much, nah.

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T04:48:56.000Z

Winston's lost the plot again. this is just grandstanding for the boomer vote.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-17T05:18:56.000Z

Na he's right for once. Bureaucrats think they run the country. Time to remind them who's boss.

Sam North2026-06-17T06:03:56.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. both sides as bad as each other.
