The fact Hipkins apparently also knew, means he’s unlikely to make an issue of it. He’s so pathetic.

Exactly. Especially when the “centre” has shifted so far right over the last 20+ years, Margaret Thatcher would be mulling over which party she should join.
The only reason they continually allow themselves to be “dragged” further and further right is it suits their financial backers/owners.

It’s bewildering how the rebranding of once left parties as “centrists” always requires them to abandon minorities. Especially when nobody who actually believes in abandoning minorities will ever vote for them.

You could get a laburnum - we had 8-10 sitting in it almost every day during Covid. Unfortunately the tree died as a result of their over-eating. In retrospect we should have covered some parts of it. Oh well.

He probably resets his ai sexbot (likely the only thing going anywhere near him) back to ’virgin’ after every use. 🤣

We used to make elderflower champagne every year - and the good thing was it all had to be drunk within a month after fermentation.

Umm, isn’t there something in the bible about not trying to understand god’s plan, let alone claim to know why they did anything? Seems a bit… blasphemous?? 🤔🤣

I was rather taken aback recently when a friend claimed putting te reo on government departments/documents was a form of colonialism.
“They have their own culture and it’s not my culture so we shouldn’t force te reo on pakeha.”

It feels like the traditional supposedly “left” parties are slowly being outed as being overrun by cynical so-called “centrists” who simply wish to position themselves wherever their best chances of power lie. They have no solid values, no vision and will abandon principles for votes or $$.

It’s surprising how many people actually DON’T understand how MMP works. Still!

Don’t worry. They’ll likely accidentally invade/bomb Florida. 🤣

Must be great for one’s ego (and likely one’s bank balance) to believe one has a divine right to declare which behaviours or actions are ethical, or even “acceptable” and which are not.
Life in an ivory tower must be very gratifying, as it places oneself beyond reproach. FFS! 🤣

“Equalities guidance.” WTF??
Some deeply damaged people really get their jollies from imposing blatant hypocrisy, don’t they?

What kind of human creates a law that will negatively impact lives just so they can bleat about opposing some ephemeral, nonsensical concept that literally affects nobody?

There’s also the theory of morphic resonance (hundredth monkey) - the more something is done, the easier it becomes for others to do.
One can only hope each case of misogynistic pile-on grows the outrage rather than building immunity.

The world really should phase out fossil politicians. They do nothing but pollute society and hinder human progress.

They probably don’t have to say anything because they’ll be writing policy for this government.

And, naturally, it’s elite Volk like him who should get to decide which freedoms everyone else should have. He should just start his own cult and move to a remote AI designed, tech-bro-built island somewhere where he can be worshipped as a god. FFS what an utter loony.
