    Definition of grubby :

    "If you describe an activity or someone's behaviour as grubby, you do not think that it is honest, fair, or acceptable" - from Cambridge Dictionary.

    Consistently surprises me how so many of you still see Jacinda as this sweet young innocent thing when she is a politician through and through - and as grubby (dishonest, unfair and unacceptable) as they come if you critique her behavior to date (false promises, lies, misleads, do anything to stay in power, incompetent) with that of other politicians who are called worse for doing the same.

    Give us a break plez - too many out there are still suffering from the star dust in their eyes.

    Whatever you think of Hosking, the point he made is that the grubby one lied, and lied again over the sexual assault allegations - on tape!

    What kind of a female is she, let alone a female PM?

    What a vindictive nasty piece of works our Deputy PM is. I wonder if he will apologise the the former National Ministers he accused ? Now that he has finally admitted they had nothing to do with it, he continues the career destruction of 2 of our highest ranked public servants, all the million wasted on this paid by us, not himself. The sooner he's kicked out of Parliament for good, the better. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...ers-didnt-leak
    He should have just paid back the money he took without entitlement and shut up.

    But like his bully friend https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12285201, he is incapable of doing that

    And the grubby one does what?

    Nothing. Zilch. Zero.

    So much for the sweet refreshing young thing who was going to bring decency, accountability and fairness to politics in NZ!

    So Labour is intending to use taxpayers money so that the grubby one can bail herself out of a sticky position she got herself by shooting her big teethy mouth off?

    Setting a very dangerous precedent for over-turning private land rights in favour of appeasing a minority.

    I wonder who Winnie will take to court for leaking the latest lot of his dodgy dealings ? Last time this happened Helen Clark fired him.

    Smile Private Land Rights

    Thanks Balance for the article.

    Agree completely.

    IMHO Private land owners legal rights need protection.

    In Wellington over 1700 land owners are directly affected by the Wellington City Council declaring Significant Natural Areas (SNA) over 50%+ of privately owned land. WCC assert Section 6 and 23a to 23b of the Resource Management ACt (RMA) gives them the authority.
    I do not believe it does.

    The SNA assertions and WCC SNA maps need to be challenged and the limits to WCC SNA "confiscation of private land" determined before the process wastes valuable time and resources.

    WCC representatives assert nothing changes with the publication of their SNA maps..

    This is untrue.
    Land values according to a report for WCC (heavily redacted released under the Official Information Act (OIA)) states a loss of property value of 22% in one case.

    Section 6 and 23a to 23b does not give them the authority to destroy private land owners rights and property value.

    This matter needs to speedily cleared up by the Government setting limits of claims under Section 6c.

    WCC representatives assert in most cases the land is too steep to be built on.
    This is untrue. There are many examples of houses built on similar sloping sites.

    On the weekend thousands turned out on the West Coast to resist other claims under the SNA provisions.

    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/...ation-proposal

    We need to support the status quo. SNA can not apply to private land without compensation.

    Private land is private land.

    WCC already has as much land in Parks and Reserves as they are claiming from private property owners.

    And that is enough.

    As I’ve said before, you are entitled to your opinion but wtf do you feel the need to constantly make personal attacks on her?

    Maybe take a good look in the mirror before criticising someone else’s physical appearance, because I doubt you are physically “perfect.” More like Trump (in all ways) than Brad Pitt.

    Because that teethy grin* is now becoming a liability when it was an asset before.

    Look at all the cartoons of her, will you? It was ok before to emphasize that she has such a winning teethy smile?

    Gee - talk about PC gone nuts!

    She is not an innocent sweet untainted politician, justakiwi, believe it or not - just another politician (albeit female and young) who has already lied and broken many promises within 2 years of office!

    * The grubby one was grinning her teethy smile when she was interviewed re Shane Jones's 'red neck' retort to the protesting farmers - one big joke for her. You think that is appropriate?

    It's not about being PC. Its about trying to be a decent human being and not body shaming people. You think it's ok for you to do it but would you feel the same if someone did it to your wife, your daughter or granddaughter?

    You are not a nice person. There, I said it.
