An extreme example of "be careful what you wish for".

The lamest & dumbest excuse as Greens try to cover up their cover up attempt :
Shaw said that Ghahraman only got back to New Zealand over the weekend, which was the reason why it had taken so long for her to respond and for the leaders to address the issue.
He said she had been "very" cooperative.
He said the ongoing police investigation was also a reason for the delay.
Davidson said that it had been important to have "face-to-face" conversations.
“I am not trying to excuse my actions, but I do want to explain them.
”The mental health professional I see says my recent behaviour is consistent with recent events giving rise to extreme stress response, and relating to previously unrecognised trauma.
“People should, rightly, expect the highest standards of behaviour from their elected representatives. I fell short. I’m sorry. It’s not a behaviour I can explain because it’s not rational in any way, and after medical evaluation, I understand I’m not well.”
Ghahraman thanked Scotties Boutique on Blake St in Ponsonby, an upmarket clothing store, for the “kindness and empathy” they had shown her.
“I have let down a lot of people and I am very sorry.
Sounds like she has done the right thing. Can't forgive her based on "mental health" and she does not try to use it to excuse her behaviour.
Personally I am sick of hearing about mental health.
Blue Skies might have something about MS. But Michael Woods was another example of crazy behaviour with his airport shares. Jamie Lee Ross, total nutbag, the list could go on.
I had expected Golriz to use mental health as an excuse and the Greens to back her but you have to give her credit, she had the decency to front up, apologise and resign from parliament.
As Mark Dice famously quoted:
"Liberalism - find a cure."
‘James Shaw said Ghahraman had been subject to continuous threats of sexual violence, physical violence and death threats "since the day she was elected to Parliament".’
——
Continuous. Since she was elected to Parliament. Daily death threats & threats of physical and sexual violence.
Continuous.
Continuous threats over a period of literally years.
And yet the party leadership, police, and media did absolutely nothing.
This is the country we live in, where people can say continuously to someone else “I’m gonna kill you!!” and there is ZERO response from the authorities. Coster and the Ardern / Hipkins government should hang their heads in shame, they are a disgrace.
Just steel yourself because you know the Left is gathering for an epic lash-out in their pain and fury. All their usual targets will be in the firing line: government political parties, white straight males, the media (for simply reporting the story), on-line commenters, centre-right voters, Scotties etc etc etc….all will be accused of ‘unfairly and unjustly hounding an unwell person simply because she is a (young) woman and a person of colour.’
