@Kirwan said in NZ Politics:
I see you can assault 71 year old women if you are on the "right" side of an issue. Great work by the Judge, inexplicably also gave permanent name suppression.
Cowardly and disgusting.
Everyone has seen the video.
That shit is beyond fucked.

What I love about co-governance is when you get forced out of your home and have to sell for a massive loss. Only rednecks would get all twisted out of shape about this.
It's great that there are more examples of privately owned land being targeted now.

@Tim said in NZ Politics:
Will Luxon do anything about this?
I would say no. He is a massive pussy, and John Key wannabe.
NZ First and Act should make a big fuss about this sort of shit. Yes, to encourage Luxon to get some balls, and also this needs to fronted by Maori MPs to head off the lazy "racist" accusations.

I am not the protesting type.
But this would have me out on the streets.
Beyond disgusting, most incredible misuse of justice I’ve ever seen.
Luxon better get the fuck involved.

They are referencing the offenders ADHD and autism in the judgement, and what he has done since, e.g. showing genuine remorse, volunteer work and getting therapy. I don't think any of that means he should avoid conviction though, given the seriousness of the assault and ongoing effects on the victim. They could make an argument for name suppression, but letting him off scot-free is a bit ridiculous.

I have to agree Tim. I admit to being sucked into voting for Nats , but within a week realised I perhaps made a mistake , voting for them with 'roll over and walk on me' Luxon wasn't what I was voting for. I really am bloody confused who is running things and it seems to be a different one speaking up every week!

Green Party desperately seeking moral high ground….

@Billy-Tell it is astonishing.
The tarnishing of the Green brand over the last few years has been remarkable. This shit doesn't happen in the party of Donald/Fitzsimons. It's just been own goal after own goal, and the pattern of secrecy from the party plays really poorly.
Very hard to claim the moral high ground when the strike rate on dishonesty/potential criminality in the MPs is so high.
What really annoys me is that the Greens should be pushing smart, evidence based outcome focussed policies. I see less and less of that with time.

And yet people still vote for them. They are the real sheeple

Winston is treading into a risky area here.
The elite and their media back discrimination (called diversity or co-governance) now. Going against the trend can be risky
"I'm not backing down one iota. I want everybody in this country no matter whether they're here for 1000 years or here yesterday legally to be treated the same - equally as one people."
