What’s unhinged is the secretary of nature addressing the public just to push her personal interests on people, this topic is so far outside her scope of work it’s baffling no one in the media has questioned it.

Public servant speaking about an issue that affected her directly isn’t unhinged.

AFAICT it seems she’s violating s1.9 of the rules ministers must uphold.

using your position to influence a decision to further private interests (s. 9)

If our secretary of nature wasn’t also a spokesperson for PolySeSouvient, a known anti-gun organization, then she may have a leg to stand on in this regard.
