Wrong, you are spreading crap. THe first 5 words says it all really:

"A poll by Labour’s pollster, Talbot Mills Research, for the firm’s corporate clients that has been obtained by The Post shows the coalition parties — National, ACT, and NZ First — lacking sufficient public support to form a Government, if an election were held today. The next election is in 2026."

If that were the case - then just look at what is waiting to replace them :)

What an impressive line up of accidental proven incompetent talent ;)

Not that that will likely happen

Say 2 or 3 terms before Joe Public starts to get over & forget the 6 years of Ardern, Hipkins Robbo & the hapless Greens whipping up an unholy mess of things ;)

Jack Tame: "Quote: Aggressive in the sense of being hostile, unprofessional with an element that was objectively threatening but not in the sense of physical violence - do you know who that describes?"

Chloe Swarbrick: "You tell me, Jack."

Jack: "Come on."

Swarbrick: "I am assuming you are talking about the behaviour of Julie Anne Genter"

Tame was actually referring to National MP Tim van de Molen, who was found in contempt and censured by Parliament last year after being accused of threatening a Labour MP in a select committee meeting.

He noted that National Party leader Christopher Luxon stripped the MP of his portfolios at the time and asked whether the Greens should be doing the same with Genter.

Swarbrick: “two completely different circumstances”


...err no she just described Van de Molen's actions as Genter's and National had handled his actions it appropriately…again, you can’t make this stuff up. All politicians are equal, only some are more equal than others, aye comrade? Apparently, public outcry is punishment enough - even if that outcry calls for stripping of her portfolio's. Regardless of the outcome of the inquiry, Genter will not loose her portfolio.

Swarbrick admits she is an Activist and not a politician who would not cross the aisle to garner bipartisan support to further her cause. She's not really interested in helping NZ or the environment. She's a petulant child who dummy spits if she doesn't get what she wants

True. The biggest demographic change in NZ for decades has come without a referendum, but as a result of bipartisan incompetence.

It was a very good interview by Tame.
But apparently he's a lefty glove puppet of the socialists...

[Daytr]

Despite being against many of the coalitions more extreme policies, I don't think I could stomach having Labour back so soon. They were a disaster and there is no evidence that they have the caliber of people to form a Government. I'm not convinced about Hipkins either, I really don't know what he stands for.

The Coalition imo have / are making some good changes, cutting down on the huge amount of waste, I just whish they would tone it down a bit as their extremes have had far too much influence, particularly Shane Jones.

For a man who hasn't been elected in years he has far too much to say and far too full of his own self importance. He knows better than anyone else attitude.

Labour needs to do some serious rebuilding & bring in some people with real world experience.

Which MPs have the heftiest credit card and travel expenses in Q1, 2024?


Third-highest was Green Party list MP Darleen Tana, who had been suspended in mid-March amid investigations into her involvement in her husband’s E-bike business which had faced accusations of migrant exploitation.

She’d spent $28,570. A Green Party spokesman said Tana was an active MP for almost all of Q1 and her expenses also included accommodation costs from Q4 last year.

Tana also lived on Waiheke Island which increased her travel costs.



What did the taxpayer get for the Salary & Expenses she gobbled up ? ;)

https://www.stuff.co.nz/a/politics/350288963/darleen-tana-inquiry-greens-investigator-wont-talk-key-witness

Darleen Tana inquiry: Greens’ investigator won't talk to key witness



The investigation into suspended Green MP Darleen Tana’s conduct will conclude without one of the key witnesses being interviewed, Stuff can reveal.

Santiago latour Palma is one of two former workers to lodge Employment Relations Authority (ERA) claims against E-Cycles NZ, the e-bike business owned by Tana’s husband Christian Hoff-Nielsen.

It was a Stuff investigation reporting Palma’s allegations which led the Greens to suspend Tana in March and appoint lawyer Rachel Burt to conduct a review of what Tana knew, and when, about claims against her husband and his business.

Palma’s ERA claim says he’s owed more than $25,000 by E-Cycles, and that for most of that time he was working illegally on a tourist visa. He claims wages were often late and went unpaid, and he raised this twice with Tana, who refused to get involved, despite Tana asking him for IT support for her political campaign.

I watched the live feed. Initially I was sympathetic to her condition. However, as the show went on it was clear the purpose was to politicise her plight and promote the Green ideology. I'm sure she is happy to be operated on by a white CIS male doctor and being bumped up the order while having a go at the at the public health systems lack of ability to provide the non-elite citizens due care. How about she only accept care from a doctor that got into medical school not on merit but affirmative action?!! She doesn't need to let us know the rest of the party are fighting for the planet and its people in her absence - though it does confirm my doubts they were actually doing that while she is present. My sympathy evaporated when she used her personal adversity for distinct political and idealogical advancement.

Chloe was clearly tying to manufacture a tear but her nodding head and own ambition kept that at bay i'm sure

Let's just all be very very thankful that the "steering failure" occurred near Picton with only a few people aboard.

A "steering failure" in Cook Strait with a full complement of passengers would have been potentially bad, even in fine weather, and a failure in the approaches to Tory Channel or Wellington Harbour would have been horrendous. Add some moderate (for Cook Strait) weather and you are looking at potentially huge loss of life.

NZ infrastructure is increasingly not fit for purpose - not fit either for the population growth both major parties have curated. Who will have the gumption to curate the megabucks needed in so many areas. Either public taxpayer money or a melange of private-public partnerships are needed. However there needs to be a concerted coordinated plan.

Labour had its social priorities but it is time to knuckle down now and sort things out. However it will take money from somewhere. On paper Luxon, with Air NZ on his resume, should be a good choice to take the bull by the horns.

Joe Public just doesn't take kindly the sort of retarded screeching that has characterised the real cluelessness of the Green cause across past decades .. :)

I think it's more simple than that, the Green's have lost their way, they have lost their focus and been caught up in general politics rather than fighting for their fundamental cause.

In opposition which they should be most familiar with based on their history, they should know how to pursue their base agenda. But after 6 years of a coalition in power they seem to now be confused, having lost power, that they have no influence whatsoever anymore, and becoming irrelevant politically.

Harping on about things that have little to do with their manifesto, while simultaneously fighting against numerous internal conflagrations melting their party down into insignificance, the Green's are consigning themselves to irrelevance.

It must grate on the Green faithful. No one wants their vote to be wasted.

Let's just all be very very thankful that the "steering failure" occurred near Picton with only a few people aboard.

A "steering failure" in Cook Strait with a full complement of passengers would have been potentially bad, even in fine weather, and a failure in the approaches to Tory Channel or Wellington Harbour would have been horrendous. Add some moderate (for Cook Strait) weather and you are looking at potentially huge loss of life.

That is a risk you run on any vessel at any time. That is why good maintenance is of paramount importance to reduce such risks. Looking at Interislander's recent history, one has to question their ability to properly maintain their vessels.

Under English law (on which NZ law is based) until the late C19th, married women lost their separate legal rights. Decisions were made by the husband.

Who is objecting to it? Making an observation is not making an objection.

Coverture was the basis of wives taking on their husbands’ surnames - times change and traditions can change as well but who are we to cast the first stone on those who choose to follow or not follow traditions?

[Daytr]

Why is a woman's surname even up for discussion? Incredible some of the attitudes shown on here.

As for the preoccupation with the Greens, it's quite incredible what you all fixate on.

Perhaps the fixation on here is due to the Greens voter base growing, despite their disastrous last six months.

I don't care for the Greens, but I do care for the environment, which is the main reason I swung away from National 10 or so years ago. The current coalition seems to be even worse in this regard with complete disregard for the environment and little evidence that they believe in humanity's impact on Climate Change at all, ... like many of you I suppose.

Yup - no Green contingent to be seen to support Golriz. What happened to her Whanau Marama and Chloe, who described her as ‘family’?

Meanwhile, here’s the update :

The sentencing hearing has now begun with defence lawyer Annabel Cresswell telling the court a mental health report about Ghahraman was the crux of her submissions today.

It found a “clear diagnosis of complex PTSD” with two key contributing factors: her early life in war-torn Iran and the “public vitriol, threats and abuse” she received while in Parliament.

Cresswell said the “threats of rape and death were constant and ongoing and credible”, to the point where her security detail was similar to that of the Prime Minister.

She described “loss-reactive shoplifting” in which otherwise law-abiding individuals steal as part of a mental health crisis.

The fact she had so much to lose showed a mental health crisis, Cresswell said.

“This offending was extraordinarily out of character,” she explained. “She didn’t need the items that were taken.”

[Bjauck]

The misogyny and extra abuse female MPs, from both left and right, experience must take a mental toll. That is not to excuse shoplifting which is a blight that NZ retailers experience and which we all pay for through higher prices. Unfortunately the abusers and misogynists are at large..

Green MP Darleen Tana referred to police: Verve Magazine advert allegedly left off promoter statement




Suspended Green MP Darleen Tana has been referred to the police due to an alleged issue with a paid article in Verve Magazine.

The Green Party said it had referred the issue to the Electoral Commission in May. It followed revelations in May that Tana was linked to alleged migrant exploitation at her husband’s business. An independent investigation into the latter issue was ongoing.

Today, the Electoral Commission said it had referred Tana and Verve Magazine to police over an alleged failure to include a promoter statement in an election advertisement published last May.

The commission refused to give further comment as the matter was with police.

"Ghahraman grew up in Mashad, which is around 1,600 kms from the border with Iraq. That is like the distance between Auckland and Invercargill."

" ...... Cresswell said the “threats of rape and death were constant and ongoing and credible”, to the point where her security detail was similar to that of the Prime Minister.

It was not similar to the PM. In no way does that mean the threats were not vile and disturbing. The PM has 24/7 armed police officers. Ghahraman had a parliamentary security officer escort her on and off the campus."


Crown Solicitor Alysha McClintock said the offending had the hallmarks of pre-meditation.

“This was a spree of offending. It’s not a one-off event. It’s not a ‘moment of madness’-type case.”

There might be another explanation for the offending other than a mental health breakdown, McClintock said: “Simply that she wanted the items that she took.

”On its face, that explanation, given the [pre-meditated] nature of the conduct, appears the more likely of the two,” she said. …

The link between Ghahraman’s mental health and her criminal conduct was not as strong as the defence made it out to be, the prosecutor argued, noting a mental health assessor found there was “a possible link”.

”The possibility of that is no more than that – a possibility.”

She's a list MP so if she jumps party wouldn't she be out of parliament as the Greens are able to replace her with the next person on their list?

"She has either lawyered up to stop the Greens releasing the final report, or she is refusing to resign. The Greens can’t force her to resign (unless they used the waka jumping law they oppose)."

Greens caught again in the hypocrisy that they have cloaked themselves in.

Thieves, migrant/worker exploiter, bullies, tax evaders, Covid lockdown breachers, hypocrites - them Greens sure know how to pick them!

Surely it can't possibly an excellent assessment, as it was published on the leftist biased MSM Herald site. ��



Yawn.

So Mike Hoskings and Richard Prebble writing their opinion pieces like Bryce Edwards are by your definition then are also left wing?

A priest preaching in jail does not make him a criminal.

Catch up. I'm paraphrasing your repetitive claims of the left bias of NZ MSM publications.
It's hilarious that you now use the very names I have repeated on here to counter your claims of left bias in the NZ MSM.
If you are going to lie, you need to have a better memory.

I'm not sure the Greens position on waka jumping applied to list MPs, rather electorate MPs, but happy to be corrected.

Of course not - but how about a bleeding heart, virtue signalling, lefty do gooder, sapping the energy and moral fibre of the losers, parasites, and scumbags he's addressing.

Ghahraman has been fined and most importantly convicted. I think this is fair. Getting the conviction was key for me

Indeed - very fair.. she couldn't expect to be let off with a free bus pass

the nonsense coming out now like it was an excuse to get her out of Politics casts more light on things :)

Yep, agreed.

The Green Brother & Sisterhood have a very unique ability to dig the trenches that they are about
to fall into ever deeper & deeper - don't they ? ;)

Did they give lessons to Robbo on their flawed excavation techniques, but then forget to tell him to
stand back from the edge to reduce chance of going splat on the bottom ? ;)

The excuse used by Winona Ryder (the actress) for her shoplifting - that it would make her uncastable for movie roles.

It would have counted against Golriz to copycat the excuse.

Anyway, good to see justice done.

Yes very fair sentence.

She has paid a heavy price already. Pleased she was convicted - I thought she might get discharged without conviction or something silly.

Swarbrick publically chanting “from the river to the sea” again today. Apparently apologies from Swarbrick only last for as long as they last. Chanting this and “intifada” is the very definition of hate speech. More hypocrisy from the emerald manakins

Fancy that - not even a thought to do a little fundraising thingie to help pay the fines of her unhinged convicted jobless refugee mate turfed out on a loose end ;)

Here is perhaps a more helpful chant for Chloe, if she genuinely wants peace.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wABSYi8Kjtg

"In Jerusalem, the Lord always surprises us.... When we asked the Syrians if we could record a video in their church, our intention was to film a chant of the Syro-Malankara rite. But the deacon asked us very fervently to sing with them the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic (the language that our Lord spoke here on earth and that the Syriac Christians still use in parts of their liturgy). When two Syriac monks joined us, we spontaneously made this recording.

According to Syriac tradition, the "House of St. Mark", where this chapel is located, is the place where the Last Supper and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles took place.

We would like to dedicate this song to our beloved Heavenly Father and ask that all people come to know, honor and love Him. In a special way, we would like to include in our prayers all the persecuted Christians in the Middle East."

Now that Goldritz has been sentenced, and if no legal appeal is made, most would agree that she can close that chapter of her life and move on.

But observing her during the interview with John Campbell made me think that some coaching from Marama Davidson had taken place, and there was an attempt to shift blame to white cis men.

All these alleged rape threats during her time in Parliament

Were complaints made to Police at the time, and investigation take place?

Any arrests?

Yes all a bit mysterious. The judge reckons she read some of the messages Golriz has received and was appalled.

On the balance of probabilities I think there are more than enough nut cases in this country to have sent her disgusting messages as claimed. Using that as an excuse for the shoplifting is a bit of a stretch though. The judge saw through that.

Hell, women undress me with their eyes every time I go out. I feel like such a piece of meat when I can tell that all they wanna do is smack that ass.

But ya don’t see me out stealing to cope with the stress of it all do ya!

Mr T, you will forever lament that she was not sentenced to regular lashes from the rotan, administered by you...
