    Regarding Marie Laufiso...she'd be doing Dunedin a favour if she resigned from the DCC.

    I had respect for the old school Green leadership such as Jeanette Fitzsimmons and Rod Donald. Unfortunately things have changed for the worse since then.

    BREAKING NEWS!! Cabinet met under urgency, have scrapped Shortland St, and are replacing it with 3 cheap webcams, placed discreetly in Green Party meetings. " You're not in Auckland Central anymore, Doctor Swarbrick!!" 😂😂😂

    There seems to be unstable, over emotional, irrational and erratic strange strategies of NZ Pacific Islanders and Maori people who are in parliament or associated with the green, Labour or the maori party. I think this behaviour is designed to cause as much trouble as they can to our parliamentary system. There is definitely a pattern happening that all NZers need to watch out for.
    I am concerned about it.

    • @Pastaaa204
      @Pastaaa204 Місяць тому +1

      Definitely, do you suggest Co governance as a solution? The Maori you speak of in parliament would be subject to Maori governance, and therefore won't be able to employ "irrational and erratic strange strategies" on their own people. And tbh it was promised a long time ago.

    • @petertrott5107
      @petertrott5107 Місяць тому +2

      @@Pastaaa204 I don't think co governance will work or help the situation today. It would be like two tribes or kingdoms ruling in one country causing potential conflict all the time within.
      One government based on their merit to do the job, what we have now. Elected by all the people for all the people.
      The Maori people are in their position of power because of the whole nation working with them for many years, all the people here reversing the trouble of the past. They are already getting what was promised to them, meanwhile trying to keep all of the other people happy at the same time. It's like Mama trying to keep all her kids happy, no favourites, every child treated the same to stop fighting in the family.
      It's up to everyone elected in positions of power to show responsibility, fair leadership qualities and be mature remembering they are working for and representing the great people of our country.
      Through Maori and European marriage for over 100 years you will see the people working together, living together and making decisions together everyday, blood is thicker than water.
      They need to think about their kids and the pain put on them by taking a destructive narrative.
      Change the narrative.
      I'm enjoying the Olympics at the moment, let's not take life to seriously.

      What planet were you born on. They have proved that corruption is indicative in their ranks (so many corrupt MPs) and loud pretentious bullying is ok (particularly pushing their ideology to the point of scaring young defenceless children and creating anxiety and angst and mental health issues with their exaggerated scaremongering rhetoric on global warming) and their socialistic communistic politics. Not to mention Chloe being the new Jacinda on the block. So egocentric thinking she'll be the next PM. Now that's a joke.

    The Greens are a waste of taxpayer money. Imagine if all the money wasted on the greens went towards more Doctors, Nurses, or Police.
    The money would be well spent..

    • @matthewdonoghue321
      @matthewdonoghue321 Місяць тому +2

      That's a good question and I would guess no. Here's why, most reasonable people have real sympathy for people with real disabilities. For example a war veteran deserves sympathy and compassion for what they have done for us. But my sympathy does not extend to people who pretend to be veterans. The reason should be obvious. Now a real Intersex person deserves sympathy, they never chose the problems they have. However that sympathy does not extend to trans people who have chosen an ideology. Trans people are to intersex as fake veterans are to war heroes. You don't get any sympathy for pretending to be something you are not. To be clear if any trans person in the world is in pain... its because they chose surgery they didn't need.
