National’s newspeak

When he’s not hard at work protecting the profits of tobacco giants by helping them peddle smokes to your kids, Ryall’s having a go at his own version of Newspeak.

Stuff reports that there’s a list of banned words currently circulating in the Health Ministry. The list includes “public health, social change, inequalities and advocacy”.

Funny how the right opposes restrictions on things like tobacco and pokies citing ‘personal freedom’ but seems quite happy telling the public service how they can talk.
