I think not: she's such a piranha.

Its not the only thing I'd want her to resign about mind. She has been busy screwing over disabled people too. #nzpol #Disability #AbuseInStateCare

We can be confident they won't "talk about the war" here.

A little piece of genius, wherever it came from. Let's share it further.

We're so surprised/amazed/bethoddled that nobody took any notice...

I'd argue that it's not just the young men. We've got McSkimming and Howard Temple getting off practically scott free from their crimes against women, the besuited business men of LinkedIn still throwing a loose one about Ardern, and the various wahine Maori being bullied out of leadership roles.

I have one suggestion, and yous all know what it is.

Remember back in 2018 when seniror RNZ manager Carol Hirschfeld lost her job after it was revealed she'd had a secret meeting with Broadcasting Minister Claire Curran. Who was later sacked from Cabinet by PM Jacinda Ardern after a second downlow meeting was revealed.

Man has had screwed-up judgement for yonks. Remember his $9 million financial hole when he was a National Party spokesperson? I don't care if he is a performance level pianist- still needs to go elsewhere.

Oh yes, it surely is.

Having jumped through hoops to get DA, you have my sympathy. Parsimony doesn't begin to describe it.

Absolutely. That this is not understood by wits-wandering Ministers and sycophantic board appointees is a disgrace.

I really urge Minister Police-Dog-Handler to get a grip of his prejudices. We're watching you laddie, and aren't impressed.

Jumping in here- just re/reading Barbara Nadel's books which give a fascinating view of Turkiye (mainly Istanbul), faith, politics, history, people and death. Just finished blood business.

And we're proud you stepped up to do some excellent work for Islamic women, for all New Zealand women.

Oh goodness ... apparently having our energy needs fulfilled by a source that is highly dependent not just on overseas provision but also on highly contingent trade routes, and pricing from markets sensitive to both, rather than domestic generation of energy, isn't quite the best idea. Who knew?

Does regime change ever work? History tells us long-term consequences are often disastrous Regime change has long proved tempting to large states. But it rarely goes to plan.

Today’s US leaders are unlikely to accept the counsel of history. But they would do well to remember the simple message of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s β€œPottery Barn” rule for attempts to overthrow governments: you break it, you own it.
