More Green's Bull Shi!

[kiora]

Yes you missed the entire point.
Greens behaving badly yet holding up in the polls.
NZF & ACT both lost in percentage terms a considerable amount of their support according to recent polls.
So what are they doing that is causing a worse poll performance than the Greens?

NZF support of the tobacco industry perhaps?
ACTs poor explanation of the cuts to school lunches perhaps? I note Seymour just approved an extension of the current program.
Quite a back track from what he was saying only a few months ago.

Anyway to be underperform the Greens at the moment is got to be difficult to achieve.

"Act Party leader David Seymour says “we’re the ones that are saving the school lunch programme” because the Labour Party did not budget anything for it beyond 2024.

Seymour has previously described free school lunches as “wasteful” public spending and plans to trim back the programme, which feeds children in almost 1000 schools.

Introduced by Labour in 2019, Ka Ora, Ka Ako was allocated $323.4 million in the 2023 Budget to continue it through this year but has not been funded beyond that
Associate Education Minister Seymour told the Bay of Plenty Times in Tauranga on Thursday the Labour Party did not put aside “a single cent” to fund school lunches in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
“So all of the talk about who’s cutting, just remember, the Labour Party did not fund school lunches in term one next year.”

Seymour said the Government faced the challenge of finding the money to make it work."

Who cares?

The coalition maintains it lead over the left.

That’s the trend line.

Meanwhile, enjoy your TV1 poll report with Sherman acting like the delusional demented female dog in heat - must be great entertainment to those who has perspective.

Mate you want to give up on the dog on heat comment. It just makes you look like a misogynistic dick. I have no cares about her one way or the other, but that's just an ugly comment.

Again missing the point. I have previously said that the amount of waste from the lunch program needed addressing. No problem with that.
But Seymour in his usual way started with heavy handed rhetoric and now after a public reaction has had to dial it back.

Yeah, seems to be an appeasement to those who would never vote ACT anyway.

Where's the political gain?

Let's hope that NZ does not become a country where the political parties are so dogmatically indoctrinated that they are incapable of changing their stance if facts and evidence presented contradict their stance.

Not every policy or $ spent should be about political gains - but we have had that for the last 6 years under Labour. Refreshing to have a change.

NZ is a richer country in every sense when policies are implemented and funds are deployed to better society.

I for one am glad and pleased that ACT is pragmatic and willing to change its stance - but not its underlying principles that individual rights must be upheld at all times.

Meanwhile, what do we have with the Greens? A party with MPs who are frauds, thieves, exploiters, bullies, racists, bullies and misfits - incapable of any coherence except preaching the politics of hate and disruption.

Who is worse? The one with the fake degree or the one who steals and hides the fact that she defended war criminals?

Or is it the one who exploits migrants but hypocritically defends human rights? More to come .....

Julie Anne Genter returns to work... in the Chatham Islands

Under-fire Green MP Julie Anne Genter is back at work this week. She had been working from home following her altercation with National MP Matt Doocey last Wednesday, which is the subject of multiple privilege complaints to Parliament’s Speaker Gerry Brownlee.

However, Genter will not be physically in Parliament. Instead, she will be on the Chatham Islands, where she will be attending the Chatham Islands Stakeholder Forum. While the Chathams are about 791km from Wellington, they are part of the Wellington electorate of Rongotai that Genter represents.

A spokesperson for the Green Party said the trip was long-planned.

“Julie Anne will be working as normal this week, including a long-planned trip to attend the annual Chatham Islands Stakeholder Forum as the MP representing the Chatham Islands,” they said.

Hopefully the frightened residents were warned early enough to sharpen their stakes & spears

Yes they had better not openly criticise any plans Genter has for cycle ways or she might scrag them!

[Bill Smith]

She did well to row 791 km in 2 days, or was it a sail boat?

Swarbrick deflecting as per usual.

Next she will be asserting that there are other MPs who exploit migrants and evade tax as well.

You'd think Genter was a victim the way Swarbrick went on. She even brought Efeso Collins Memorial into it.
