@canefan so what happens if we end up with say 60% female to male ratio, will we here the need to recorrect the imbalance?
Agreed, it should be the best people regardless of gender, although if Aunty Helen wants 50% female MPs, wont that create an imbalance with the other 50% being male/gender-neutral or whatever other that lot identify with?

Aunty Helen wants 50% of MPs to be women. What happened to wanting the best available people regardless of gender. In other news Labour want more travel perks including more for partners. Are people paying attention to these high and mighty hypocrites trying to grab as many hand outs as they can?
Is she assuming the gender of all the mps currently in parliament?
Not sure is thats going to distract from the bad pr shes getting over the Eden park concert either.

I was going to donate when I got home from work but they raised the money in a few hours. They said any extra funds raised will go to fighting future efforts to block free speech.
I'm hoping Goffs idiocy makes other councils think twice and they wont have to.Also 'peace activist' Valerie Morse who was photographed by the police in the Ureweras toting a machine gun with a pistol in her waistband and went to court to defend her right to burn the flag at an ANZAC service said this about the speakers.
"That comes after Auckland Peace Action (APA) called on the Government to not allow the speakers entry to New Zealand.
"We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community in Aotearoa who are opposing these fascists. If they come here, we will confront them on the streets. If they come, we will blockade entry to their speaking venue," APA member Valerie Morse said."It is imperative that this type of racism is given no room to be promoted and encouraged in Aotearoa."

@jegga she calls them fascists and then in the same sentence outlines how she will forcibly suppress their speech.....

@taniwharugby nice one Helen, we'll fix the MP imbalance then we can go for 50% primary teachers, nurses, hr, plumbers, garbage collectors, oil rig workers, soldiers etc.
But whatever you do don't look at the most "equal" societies on the planet, Scandinavian, in case you see that, given equality, workers overwhelmingly gravitate to traditional work place choices. Or so the academic research shows
-
@jegga This is the bit where you need swift policing and example setting that physically blocking public events is unlawful and the content of the event is irrelevant.
Please can we be one country that rationally expels this infantile tantrum behaviour and insanity so prevalent overseas?
And fuck off Goff, you truly displayed arse licking selfishness with this.
True colours for all to see! -

I bet if St J. wasnt on leave, she'd of got the Nurses to agree to take a pay cut and work longer hours!

Some gold here after this narcissistic fool claimed to be NZs first female defence minister . If she was she’d actually be the third

She sounds more and more like a fucking idiot. Hot but still a fucking idiot
She is undeniably hot but suffering from some sort of narcissistic personality disorder. The claims she’s made about herself are bizarre

Not exactly surprised about this , worth reading though .

@jegga was just up in Orcs and was surprised by the number of people on the streets. Esp around Queen st and up to the Sky Tower. An interesting read, just goes to show there are many factors around why people are forced, or chose to live on the streets. Concerning to read about that guys kids choosing the street life though.

@taniwharugby said in NZ Politics:
@jegga she's Israeli isnt she? I am sure they arent all like that, but a huge majority of the ones I have met and dealt with through work are arrogant fucks.
Iranian, she talked about being bombed during the war but it turns out she was well out of range of any missiles or planes . She then tried to claim it was when her parents took her to visit family in a town that was getting bombed .
Don’t disagree about Israelis though . They redefine obnoxious and arrogant.
-
To put it mildly I disagree with Chris Trotters politics but huge respect for him on this . This must hurt the lunatic fringe of the left to have one of their own point out how disgusting their behaviour is and I’m sure they will turn on him . I doubt he gives a fuck though and he’s right too.
