@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.
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.

This Honey Heemi person starts off saying she knows nothing of sexual assault allegations and then goes vague . It’s pretty obvious the identity of the lastest predator is known to RNZ because the interviewer throws out a few breadcrumbs in her questions to Grant Robertson who is apparently close friends with the guy.
Interesting listening anyway , stuff and the standard are still doing their best to try and ignore this but the rest of the media smell blood .

Stuff have the scandal as their third story this morning.
Meanwhile, Mike is fighting the good fight

The handling of this scandal beggars belief. We effectively have a PM whose defence against accusations of her being a cynical fraud is that she's actually only incompetent and superficial.
I don't think her time as an employee of the Morrinsville chip shop prepared her for this level of lying
