@jegga Dave Chapelles bit on the Alphabet people would be a good place for them to start.
He’s Tokelauan so he’s already a T

Alison Mai just wrote this for the Guardian, here’s the money quote
“Another investigation into “predatory” and intimidating behaviour – by a different man – was launched in February, but not before a survivor group of at least 12 had made increasingly desperate attempts to get help from senior party figures over many months. They tell me one senior female party official even brushed off their concerns with this bit of classic gaslighting: “Oh that’s just [name withheld].”

Stuff.co.nz's hands were pretty tied here, move aside government sex scandal, gay contrails are what the NZ public are really interested in on the front page today.

Are there any odds site on her chances of being ousted?
Is there a real chance of it or wishful thinking by those who don't like her (me included)Nah , Grant Robertson might be an outside chance to lose his job though.

@jegga fark that is plain dumb. I mean I know they are trying to play a lot of this down, but they'll get roasted even further by trying to blinker the investigation. At this stage trying to keep their internal processes review hidden is just not going to fly. Even though the president has resigned that doesn't mean all that stuff just goes away.

Just a group of incompetent venal people trying to bluff their way through this .
Not sure if you read the Guardian story but Mau saw the guy being a creep and mentioned it to a senior female mp and she said “ oh that’s just ( insert name here) “ like it was somehow acceptable bevcause of who he was .

Still pulling her punches a little bit but writing an article for the Guardian and giving Labour’s rape culture more overseas attention is going to make for awkward conversation next time her and Jacko catch up

Not defending Cindy for a second but
Morrison, Turnbull, Abbott, Rudd, Gillard - not really the lucky country eh?Ah yes, poor Australia with two Rhodes Scholars in those five. No particular fan of Gillard but I'd be curious how Ardern so clearly outshines her?
Morrison is more on Ardern's level in terms of style over substance, but he clearly has better political command.

I would imagine that is a big step for her. Any word spoken against the party by one of their big fangirls is notable

@rotated It's not simply the quality of the premiers it's the revolving door policy, the back-stabbing and the too often buffoonery. Who did Gillard get rolled by?
Way to move the goalposts! It is exactly about the quality of the premiers. That was exactly what we were talking about
