Original Note:
ACT have previously defended the free speech of public servants. A recent example was ACT Party leader David Seymour, who joked that "In my fantasy, we'd send a guy called Guy Fawkes in [the Ministry of Pacific Peoples] & it'd be all over." Taxpayers pay Seymour $200k pa. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/election-2023-act-leader-david-seymour-slams-reaction-to-joke-about-ministry-for-pacific-peoples/JK4G477SSNAWBEPWV2OKMJS4YM/ https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2020/0327/latest/LMS438252.html
