He has today confirmed he’ll leave parliament at the October election. Nash was dropped from cabinet last week after it was revealed he had shared private information with a pair of donors. The prime minister has confirmed the terms of reference for the review into communications between former minister Stuart Nash and Labour Party donors. And famously, in 2017, the party breached copyright in 2017 over its use of an “Eminem-esque” tune that then-party campaign manager Steven Joyce described as “pretty legal”.Īt the time of publishing, the latest social media ad remains on Twitter. Last year it removed an Instagram video after being instructed to do so over copyright reasons. It’s not the first time the National Party’s been slapped on the wrist over its choice of media. “We were not aware of this advertisement and have formally requested all Newshub footage be removed,” a Warner Bros Discovery spokesperson said. The Spinoff approached Newshub to ask whether it had cleared the use of news footage and a voiceover that appear in the advert. The ad is styled like the titles of a true crime documentary, though it’s not entirely clear what will be shared by the party later this evening. The social media ad shared earlier this afternoon asks people to visit National’s social media at 7pm for the “full story” on the Stuart Nash saga. I reckon I’ll play Crackdown 3 more than any other game this year, because it demands absolutely nothing of me.The National Party’s been asked to remove news footage that it had used without permission in a new advert. And while I’d hardly argue against most of the reviews it's been getting, I think we’d be a healthier bunch if we just accepted that not every game will reinvent the wheel, that not every game is designed to wow us. On the matter of Crackdown 3, I don’t think it’s quite as good as Saints Row 4, but it definitely looks good: Sumo Digital has really nailed the retrofuturistic neon-lit ambiance of 1980s cyberpunk. It’s a modern classic, it’s one of my favourite games of all time.
To be honest, I think Saints Row 4 is the Citizen Kane of utterly stupid videogames. But I definitely remember playing the game for dozens of hours, with the sound off, while also watching The Larry Sanders Show. I can’t remember whether I was required to do any missions or tasks to turn into a vehicle steamrolling deity who can scale skyscrapers with one button press. It’s less an action game and more something I can unthinkingly do with my hands-it’s videogame as Rubix Cube or stress ball.įor my money, the best example of this type of game in recent years is Saints Row 4. After spending the last month playing through the gruelling Metro Exodus, and before that the unyieldingly tense and attention-demanding Apex Legends, Crackdown 3 just feels right. But I equally enjoy any game I can play with only a fraction of my attention. To be utterly engrossed in an RPG or first-person shooter campaign is incredible, of course, and being fully immersed in a story and a world is definitely one of the reasons I enjoy games. And I adore Crackdown 3 and its ilk for this very reason.
I don’t need to listen to anything this dumb videogame wants to tell me, I don’t even want to hear its stupid explosions. Sometimes I’ll even watch a television show. I have spent a good six or seven hours playing Crackdown 3 on silent while listening to podcasts. "After spending the last month playing through the gruelling Metro Exodus, and before that the unyieldingly tense and attention-demanding Apex Legends, Crackdown 3 just feels right."
