Twitter conversation of the day 20 October: Jessica Williams et. al.

Today’s conversation of the day is far too long to include all of the tweets in it. So I am just going to include Jessica’s, then talk about a couple of things.

I have spoken with Jessica and I know who the person is, but I am not going to say who it is. But it does raise some questions about what this MP, and their party, see as the role and rights of members of the media? Just because they are members of the Press Gallery doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be able to use Twitter just like any other user. It will be interesting to see if the member concerned takes their own advice.
