Brian Rudman
Brian C. Rudman is a columnist and regular editorial contributor to The New Zealand Herald, New Zealand's largest daily newspaper. He has his own column, 'Rudman's City',[1] where he mainly focuses on issues relating to Auckland (New Zealand's largest city), its growth, public projects, policies and politicians. He is also active in related events and public discussions.[2]
Rudman's views are often controversial and comparatively blunt. He has been the subject of at least three complaints to the
New Zealand Press Council, though none of them were upheld.[3][4][5] He has also been accused by Michael Bassett, another known New Zealand columnist as well as politician/political historian, as being one of "the usual left-wing commentators who take their cue from on high" in regard to some comments he made regarding Don Brash.[6]
Rudman supports a New Zealand republic.[7]
Awards
Rudman has been awarded the
New Zealand Skeptics for his "article on May 11th describing the quantum radio frequency booster used as a cancer cure as 'health fraud in its darkest form'".[9]
