I'm still trying to reconcile how she can be thought highly enough of to be co leader but not good enough to be a minister in a government . It would be quite embarrassing if Shaw and whatever is number three on their list got ministerial limos and the heifer didn't.
-
I think it she should have fallen on her sword. This "demotion" from the hypothetical cabinet is more like a scratch.
If Turei still co-leader she'll be having input into policy that the Greens are going to be allowed to champion in a coalition. It's like a bankrupt who cannot be a company director so he gets his wife to start up a company that he directs in substance, just not in legal form.
Out of interest, if she does resign, who takes over the female co-leader role? Genter is more of an environmentalist, and they'd need a Marxist.
-
It is hugely hypocritical of the Greens, and to a lesser extent, Labour that she hasn't been made to resign and Labour haven't been demanding it given if this was anyone in the Nats, they'd be out for blood.

@taniwharugby that's the great thing about this, her complete lack of contrition and arrogance means it isn't going to go away.
-
Given her education and political stance, even back then she should be held to higher standard than Joe Public doing the same thing.
-
You'd think so but her overweening arrogance and sense of entitlement makes her think she's done nothing wrong.
Which is great because it means we are getting an editorial or article a day slamming her behaviour or saying she should stand down and they are even coming from the left. -

She should think "what would Master Yoda do?"

Yup. The better half is a Lawyer and is particularly disgusted with her behaviour given what she studied - gaming the system like that is an intellectual no-go area for Law students. They have made the Legal Ethics course mandatory now due to immoral pieces of shit like Turei, and as I said earlier in the thread had this fraud been known about when she did the Professional Legal Studies course it is highly unlikely they would have given her a license to practise Law in NZ. So bye bye Law career.
I am absolutely astounded she hasn't resigned. That is some next level arrogance on her behalf, and reinforces how utterly broken her moral compass is.

Jacinda has rebranded the Labour campaign as "relentless optimism".
Kelvin Davis this morning:
"We all know about the Jacinda effect - pure optimism. When we look over at the other side there and we see a Prime Minister with the personality of a rock.
"We have got Jonathan Coleman the doctor of death, we have got Steven Joyce who is as authentic as a $4 Rolex, we've got Gerry Brownlee who has got the energy of a small hill, we've got Simon Bridges - the only person under 80 who still buys Brylcreem, and Judith Collins, look her stare caused that ice shelf in Antarctica to crack off and float away."
So, same old Labour then...

@Tregaskis that and the fraudster just emphasises why most Kiwis think politicians are overpaid childish fuckers who are out of touch with the people who's votes they want.
