@jegga shouldnt really protect her unless he is gonna say he knew everything and hid it from her...
She won't go, it would be unheard of. But she should be stained by this. So much for transparency

@jegga time to announce a wedding or another baby.
Her and Gaylord are going to have to be at it like rabbits if this keeps up.

@jegga said in NZ Politics:
Nigel Haworth just resigned to protect Ardern
I guess they are hoping that will wrap things up and Labour’s staff can go back to sexually assaulting teenage volunteers in peace .
I bet stuff.co.nz are pissed.. this brings it back on the front page again! Oh well I'm sure it'll be gone by late afternoon so NZ can focus on climate change hysteria instead
But how will they tell us about the latest reality TV contrived drama if Stuff has to publish news for a change?

Problem is she's not likely to be in the mood right now!!!

Modern journalists are nearly all..
a) Lefties
b) BulliesTherefore there are 2 things they can be relied on for
a) Providing cover for left wing parties
b) Attacking when blood is in the water.Takes a lot of leftie blood, but once the frenzy starts.... It is usually fatal as lefty govts are so used to having the bullies as friends they don't have much clue how to deal with it.

This is pretty much the case . When they do turn in someone like that parasite Chris Carter for example it does get very nasty . HdPA and Tova O’Brien are definitely left in their politics as is the Spinoff and the writer that broke the story on Monday.
If it this story doesn’t lose momentum it has the potential to get really ugly for labour . It reminds me a bit of Weinstein, everyone knew he was a creep and did nothing until finally someone did and they all piled in, same with Cosby . Labour Party staffers and MPs have had these creepy scandals with teenager party volunteers for years and the media have helped them downplay it and it’s gone away .
Hopefully this time it doesn’t because it’s really fucking weird that this keeps happening and they go through the same process , apologies, token resignation, concern face and then it happens again. -

Great speech by Paula Bennett just floated by in FB. Pretty damning of Taxinda and Grant Robertson too. Nicely used her own words against her.
Good to see someone is kicking them while they're down
I see it as someone holding them accountable for protecting a sex pest.

Can she trot this one out again?
"On behalf of New Zealand, I want to apologise to Grace's family. Your daughter was supposed to be safe here and she wasn't and I apologise for that," Ms Ardern concluded, holding back tears.
Or this one?
How about we ask women. Find out what's going on and address it. I'm not holding my breath that will be the outcome in this particular case.
These conversations stop the moment there's a resignation. It's the PR quick fix - usher the source of the controversy away. But that solves nothing.
I don't think Kevin Roberts should have been shown the door, or chosen to walk through it as the case may be – not when he needs to be a part of the conversation.
After all, apologies followed by silence changes nothing, and change is what we need.
