NZ’s Dodgiest Local Government Politician candidate – Phillip Reweti Bear

The Meat Workers Union may not be naming their candidates for local government on their website because they are going to have to admit to supporting at least one candidate who is in with a very, very good chance of beating Bruce Smith for NZ’s Dodgiest Local Government Politician.
As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. And when he’s not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.
They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet. Cam Slater doesn’t do quiet, and as a result he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist that takes no prisoners.
