You have discredited yourself beyond belief. You have no morals at all

If there was an issue surely it would have been long term.. which means the media would have picked up on it.
The same media which blames labour for the cost of living (without international comparisons).
Dr Sharma has more integrity than the rest of labour MPs put together.
I see Lorck has finally been outed. Having known her in the past, I wondered how long it would take. Leopards and spots etc.
‘Even the left wing media has dropped this non-story.’

Gee, I wonder why. Meanwhile they are trawling around Dunedin looking for dirt on Uffindell, including ‘information’ such as him apparently living in a filthy flat in his student days.
Pretty disgraceful and mind-boggling of you to say that serious allegations made by a Labour MP are a ‘non story’. Even if the guy had made the whole thing up, there would still be enormous public interest. I think that anything showing Labour in a bad light is automatically a ‘non story’ as far as you are concerned, due to your inherent bias.
The fact that this guy is actually a working doctor stands out, while the rest of them have come through student politics, unions, fish & chip shops etc. Most of them haven’t done a days work in their lives, just wheedling party hacks and flunkeys. This guy came in from the outside world with huge integrity, and they’ve tried to tear him apart for it.
Spotted in a Stuff article today -
‘Sean Teddy, hautū (leader) operations and integration at the Ministry of Education, says they encourage parents and schools to work together to ensure ‘incidents of bullying are quickly, safely and effectively addressed’.’
If they don’t like violent people in parliament, why did the bloke who punched Tau Henare get to stick around, and even become the speaker? ‘Arderns Rottweiler’ they called him. Charming.
The ‘most popular’ (i.e. most read) story on the Stuff website is the bald facts of a staffer hurling bullying allegations at a Labour MP, while the Tom Scott cartoon takes aim at Uffindell and Luxon, and the Janet Wilson opinion piece is about how the Uffindell selection ‘reflects Nationals values’.
It seems Labours values are all about bullying others, but not sure if we will see the cartoons and opinion pieces that bear out this viewpoint.
And while labour flunkies are scouring Dunners for dirt on Uffindell, how did they miss the 1st sponge (clarke) efforts in disrespecting young women in the COW videos?
Maybe the the left wing Stuff has a Right wing readership keeping it in business?
It is great to see so much concern for the tax-payer paid Wellington public servants, who have employment disputes, and a Labour MP (allegedly Bullied by public servants and his own party) from right-wingers. There is hope for our social democracy yet.
Good to see TV1 leading with the Dr Sharma’s allegations of bullying.
He has provided dates and names which Ardern & Labour will now have to refute - after Ardern tried to shut him down and victimise him further by stating that it was all about ‘hiring’ practices.
Telling that nobody from Labour fronted again - hoping that it will all go away.
Obviously the journalists who jumped in on the story based on Dr Sharma's social media posts without checking the story have realised they may have got things horribly wrong.
Turns out some of his staff have made allegations against him, so lets just calm down & wait till we get all the facts before we rush headlong to judgement & as one poster has breathlessly suggested, the PM needs to resign.
His Facebook post was quite extraordinary & for most people would immediately raised more alarm bells about his state of mind than what was being alleged.
A freeze on hiring more staff is a red flag that they were trying to protect potential employees from being put into a caustic work environment.
Lets see what unfolds.
It was notable both Chris Bishop & Erica Stamford didn't hesitate to dive in angrily condemning Labour without all the facts,
while Jacinda Adern & other Labour ministers have avoided passing judgemental comments on the Uffindell affair.
When questioned, Adern as always hitting the right notes, said is it's something for the National party to deal with.
On the other allegation of bullying, on the face of it, I don't think being asked to move office furniture or an incident of being asked to be the sober driver qualifies as bullying under the Worksafe definition.
There may be more to it, but there will need to be or it looks bit underwhelming.
Retracted as I posted on the Wrong thread.
Gee it's almost like there is no culture of bullying within Labour after all. The story has basically disappeared from both the Stuff and NZ Herald websites.
Who really believed they had the guts to bite the hand that feeds?
For me, this quote is perhaps the most scary thing I have heard in NZ politics.
‘I was then told by Duncan Webb in clear terms that “the only way this country can succeed is if Labour is in government. Government means Labour. So the Party comes first and foremost before the country.”
Sounds more like Stalin or Mao than a NZ politician. With a mindset like that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, a government will not do to its own citizens.
