I expect him to end up like Brent Garner in a few years -

@taniwharugby It really doesn't reflect well if the party leadership were aware of at least some of these things and did nothing. Leak stuff aside, he sounds like a complete fuckwit, and from Twitter etc, it appears his behaviour was one of those open secret type things. As others have said, he's seriously making himself unemployable. He'd have to be seriously loved in Botany to win a by-election. Be interesting to know his numbers from the last election.

Majority of over 13,000 from what I’ve read this week.
Normally these years in between elections are so boring and uneventful..

@virgil Hmmm. That is a huge majority. But then next question is, is Botany a seat where Cookie Monster could get elected because blue? Or is it Ross himself?
edit: just checked. Botany is a new seat, only been around since 2008. Pansy Wong held it for National, then resigned. Ross won 2011 by-election and has held since then.

@Smudge none of that appears to state he targeted those women based on their gender, and certainly don't appear to have anything to do with sexual harassment. Just that he had a falling out with them and then tried to ruin them - much like he is now doing with Bridges. He just sounds like a complete asshole.

You going for it? Pretty sure you can count on at least 50 votes from the fern..

They will vote whoever the party wants them to put in I reckon. Even this guy

@virgil Hahaha. I've had more than enough years in government, thanks. Besides. My current job allows me to watch porn, wander about in pjs or trackies, no commute, and I don't have to talk to anyone if i don't want to. Can't really top that.

Yeah - and I doubt that "fact" will be lost on the people of Botany.
I'd be pretty amazed if he could win the by election as an independent, but even if he does, he'd likely get swept out at the next election. You've got to have cult status like Winston or Anderton to hold seats as an independent.

If you’re ever in need of an assistant I doubt it would take you long to fill the position...

My tuppence worth ... purely speculation based on media reports over the last week coz I'd never heard of him before ...
... Jami-lee thinks he is a master manipulator, confirmed by years of manipulating amateurs at school and uni and local government level.
Thinks he has the jump on the professional opponents he's now up against and is completely out of his depth. Just not clever enough to realise.
Is misreading his popularity in the electorate as being about him (being narcissistic and all), not realising his majority is all about National.
No loss to anyone.

Nick Smith!
Stood for the Rangiora District Council while he was still at school and got elected when he was 21.
In Parliament by age 26, where he has been ever since....thinking he knows more about everything than everyone else!
