What’s there to discuss with Labour shills like you who posts nothing but BS, lies and spin?
12,000 new state houses built by Labour? Kiss my arse.

There you go again, minimising what occurred. Now it’s ‘two glasses of wine’. She didn’t get pulled over by the cops and breathalysed pal, she crashed into a car - and resisted arrest! You really are being wilfully blind about this, or are not quite functioning at full intellectual capacity.
I’m not after blood. In fact, I’m after the exact opposite. I don’t want to see a single innocent person killed because some other person got a ‘soft signal’ that it’s excusable to drink & drive if you are having personal issues. I make no apologies for taking this view.
Only the blind like BS would write the garbage above.
Hipkins was all over the place and looked like he was on drugs.
And no wonder :

"Electoral calculation was surely at the centre of Prime Minister Chris Hipkins’ unfortunate decision to keep flailing Minister Kiri Allan on in her job when alarm bells were going off about her integrity and mental health. That decision has now led to tragedy for both the former minister and a Government that is rocked by the unprecedented downfall of a Justice Minister being arrested in chaotic circumstances.
Allan’s final downfall was shocking, but not entirely surprising. For many months the Justice Minister displayed all sorts of puzzling behaviour suggesting she was in trouble and not necessarily fit to be a minister. And yet she was kept on in one of the top roles in politics despite the warning signs. That decision is something that Hipkins is now struggling to justify."
Big red flags all over the place but the Labour Party & Hipkins did nothing. Kiri Allan could have killed somebody, driving in the state she was in.

She’s sick and needs support’.
"Labour minister spoke to Allan before accident, says she wasn't in a 'good way'
Labour Minister Willie Jackson said Allan was adamant about returning to work after taking a break.
However, some people - including the Prime Minister -thought it might be too soon for her to come back.
He said they put a lot of support around Allan, and he wasn’t sure they could have done much more.
He spoke to Allan about 6pm, a few hours before her accident on Sunday, and said it was personal struggles that overcame her.
“She wasn’t in a good way." He said he didn’t send someone to her, because they ended their conversation on a positive note.
“You can have a good korero with her and then start off in a crazy sort of mode and then end up falling over in laughter you know, which is where we were at on Sunday. And then of course, it all fell apart later."
Kiri was issued with an Infringement Notice for returning a breath test slightly over the legal limit but at a level considered an infringement & not a DIC charge. Not good but lets not over-egg it.
She was charged with careless driving & refusing to accompany a police officer, not resisting arrest.
In 2021 she was diagnosed with a grade 3 cancer & a 13% chance of survival, & went through chemotherapy. It's impossible for anyone to appreciate the impact that has on a young person unless they have been through it themselves.
She was a talented dedicated & extremely hard working Minister & its a tragic loss.
I hate seeing the way Luxon & Willis are politicising this, its completely opposite to the way Jacinda Ardern treated Muller with care & respect when he had to step back & raises questions about their character.
Open dissent in Labour - not too long now before Robertson and Parker move against Hipkins.
Hipkins is a dead man walking while Parker and Robertson prefer:
“Better red than dead!”

Unfortunately you have chosen to continue going down this path of minimising what occurred due to your own cognitive biases.
Now - according to you - one of the purported reasons that she could not catch a taxi, could not get an uber, could not get a dial-a-driver (so many available options in todays society) is because she previously had cancer.
Actually, you’d think a life and death brush with cancer would give someone an extra appreciation of the value of human life. If you drink to excess and get behind the wheel you endanger your own life and those of others.
Your ‘argument’, such as it is, is that having cancer has discombobulated her to the extent that she is incapable of making the right decisions, and I think that is unfair on someone who until quite recently was a Minister of the Crown and making decisions which affect all New Zealanders.
With each fresh purported ‘reason’ (excuse) you continue to actually completely miss the point. The point being that if we do not say that drink driving is unacceptable under any circumstances, then we might as well take the ads off the TV and give up.

Nation of Debt: Rising costs and falling milk price mean farmers could struggle to break even
The same farming industry that Labour & Greens have expressed desires to pummel ? ;)
What happens when major industries get given certain adverse attention from Labour & Greens ?
The mob of Govt Front Bench incompetents certainly know how to bite the hand that feeds :)
