Say that New Zealand First MP and Aotearoa Associate Health Minister Casey Costello is a shill for the tobacco industry.

What I can say is that if she’s not, she’d doing a damn fine job of making it look like she is. And she probably wouldn’t be do anything different if she was shilling for them.

Have a read of this piece from RNZ’s Kate Newton on the common language used and other bullshit which makes Costello’s acts since being elected incredibly suspicious.
