“Goodbye twitter haters,” claimed Reporter Duncan Garner. This was in response to the backlash he faced after releasing an article for Stuff. In his article he complained about a "human snake" of a line at Kmart, saying he could have been anywhere in South-East Asia. He went on to use this as evidence to reduce immigration, saying he wants to have a discussion around infrastructure in regards to growing immigration numbers. This sparked controversy on social media which caused him to delete his Twitter account.
A panel discussion was held on these events by host Joel Thomas, producer Sam Smith, News Director Lillian Hanly, Aaryn Marsh Niuapu of Racial Equity Aotearoa, and University of Auckland Film Television and Media Professor Neal Curtis.
