Hipkins on Minneapolis, NZ joining Trump's 'Board of Peace' Labour leader Chris Hipkins has labelled the government's so-far refusal to rule out joining US President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' an "absolute disgrace". Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been invited to join the new organisation, saying last week he would give it "due consideration". Invites have gone out to dozens of world leaders, those of Russia, its ally Belarus, and Saudi Arabia. No invites went to any countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Canada's invite was withdrawn, and several Western nations - including France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Sweden, Ireland and Italy - have said 'no thanks'. Hipkins said joining would not be considered under his leadership. "It's going to have people like Vladimir Putin on it. The idea that New Zealand would even consider being part of that would be an absolute embarrassment and an absolute disgrace on New Zealand." Hipkins said the threat of tariffs on New Zealand for not joining would not sway him. "Donald Trump does not respect anybody who just simply sucks up to him. He doesn't respect anybody else, regardless. "New Zealand has to be principled, we have to be consistent. We have a very strong reputation around the world for being consistent and principled in our foreign policy - all of that is being thrown away by this government." He said New Zealand needed to be "a bit more nimble and more fleet-footed" in its diplomacy "in an environment where those big international organisations are struggling to bring countries together". "So countries like Canada, Australia, the UK, many European countries, and many countries in our own neighbourhood that we can work with, and we should focus on the areas where we can work with them and really get some momentum behind that."

Remember the 38yo unexpectedly pregnant woman who had to deal with a terrorist massacre, a volcanic eruption and a global pandemic while raising a baby? Did anyone cut her one tenth of the slack this POS is getting?

Wonder if Chris Penk will step in to support her again.
