We live in such crazy times.
Reminds me of that saying about people going mad in herds, and only regaining their sanity one by one.
I hope they'll hurry up coming to their senses.
@MaxWatersNZ She knows she is loved 'internationally', but she also knows she can't return to NZ.
There are loads of kiwis that will gladly make their sentiment towards her known if they encounter her on the street, in a park, supermarket or cafe.
She's despised here & she knows it.
@CallMeAl_KPSS Actually, let's not Iforget the previous CEO, Carolyn Tremain, who oversaw the entirety of the failed project and jumped ship just before the SHTF (with a King's Honour to boot ). Sheb deserves a special mention for her, ... umm, contribution.
Similarly : do you think the media stories will touch on the fact that Hager never gave the Taxpayers' unionan opportunity to respond to clais, or the remarkable timing of the launch a few weeks out from election?
Not holding my breath.
I couldn’t believe what happened in the House this week when Te Pāti Māori leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer was ordered out for saying the C-word.
It was incredibly hypocritical for this Government to suddenly take offence when none of them said a word earlier this year when ACT Minister Brooke van Velden used exactly the same word.
There was absolutely no way I was going to sit there and say nothing. It was a shame I was ordered out, but sometimes that’s the sacrifice you make when you want to stand on a point of principle.
This nonsense about the Speaker having to call the Sergeant-at-Arms is ridiculous. I didn’t even see him, and I walked out after I had made my point.
I would have sat down if the Speaker, Maureen Pugh, had shown me a little respect, but I’m too old now to be yelled at like a kid and told to sit down. And I certainly wasn’t going to sit down or leave just because a bunch of right-wing National Party MPs were screaming at me to do exactly that. No, the double standard was too much.
Not one member of National or this Government said a word in the House when Brooke used the same language. It was hypocrisy and I have no regrets about challenging it.
