@canefan It's a shame the Greens got taken over by the militant wing. They'll never get anything through in this cycle, Winny enjoys playing with them and then fucking them over too much. And they can't do jack about it because he has all the experience and cunning that they don't. The way they are going, they'll also probably duck under the 5% threshold, especially if Labour meets the socialist ticks that some voters want. Honestly, if either major party introduces some half-decent measures re the environment, the Greens will be gone.
The Greens were always a socialist party first and environmentalist party second. What's happened recently is the post modernists/neo-Marxist/intersectionality types have taken over. The kind of people that think everything is a social construct including biological gender, that words don't just offend people but they harm people, that straight white males are the cause of all ills in society etc. More and more people, even traditional socialists, are being put off by that nonsense - that plus Turei's meltdown has them battling for any credibility at all.
Like a roach they just won't die though. I thought the whole Turei fraud thing might kill them off once and for all. I'd like to see an environmental party try to take away any support they have that is disturbed by the left wing militancy but still votes for them in the hope it will help the planet

Wont fund cochlear implants but will fund cock....
Yeah , nah Too lowbrow even for me.
That is infuriating.

It is, it proper is.
And I consider myself really open to trans issues etc. But, that’s a huge amount of money for what is, essentially, optional surgery.
I don’t actually have a problem with people taking such actions, but I think it’s completely fair to jump up and down about sick people not being assigned funding while healthy people are. As someone who nearly lost his father due to shit funding (more than anything), this makes me wild, because no doubt there are proper sick people sitting on waitlists for surgeries that are actually needed. Furthermore, we’ll have surgeons available to carry out those procedures.

Maybe you just need to get over your transphobia?

That is actually a flattering photo .
A less charitable person than myself would point out she could eat an apple through a tennis racquet with those choppers. But that is beneath me.

the lesbian on the right isn't great either

Yeah , nah. We pay enough to you fluffybunnies in wages , superannuation and your virtue signalling policies. I don’t think we should have to pay to get you elected.

@jegga Ok, I laughed at this:
Labour Party President Nigel Haworth said this morning the current rules around donations worked "tolerably well," but state funding could be looked at.
"But that's a question for the people."
He said donors were not buying their way into the Labour Party.
"We are very clear about how we select our candidates, which is based on competence." -
