Labour / NZ First Government

Countries with female leaders, they discovered, have had lower death rates than countries with male leaders.

This might seem like a stark, even stereotyped, distinction between male and female leadership styles, and there are surely grey areas, but recent events in New Zealand politics also cause us to reflect on such differences. To put it simply, it is hard to imagine female politicians resigning or being dismissed for the kinds of actions that ended the careers of National MP Andrew Falloon and Labour Cabinet Minister Iain Lees-Galloway.

When former National MP Jami-Lee Ross went rogue in 2018, he claimed that half of Parliament were engaged in inappropriate relationships. He should know as he was involved in two of them.

The inference is that a code of silence was long maintained among politicians, staffers and journalists to keep the grubbier side of political life out of the public eye. On the day that Lees-Galloway’s affair was made public, pundits with long memories recalled former male prime ministers whose extramarital liaisons were open secrets.

Speaking tonight before a launch event for a new private online high school, Crimson Global Academy, Key said he was not aware of any of his ministers who had affairs during his eight years as Prime Minister, despite Parliament's reputation.
"I don't know about the other side. You hear those rumours, but whether they are true I don't know."

Yet another huge problem ready to blow up on this government’s mishandling of quarantine.

Nurses moonlighting in quarantine facilities while still working in their normal jobs, in some instances while caring for vulnerable patients.

This is basic!

So does this fall under Megan Wood, Quarantine or Kiwibuild minister or Chris, last minute Health minister.

Big surprise, Comrade Cindy is not clear!

I'm more and more convinced we've escaped community transmission through good luck rather than the actions of "Go hard and early" Cindy.

This is what happens when you have a PM and news media fixated on diversity over competence when appointing Cabinet Ministers.

Furthermore, it makes you wonder about the fear mongering from Cindy. The health authorities don't seem overly bothered? Why is Cindy so intent on ramping up the fear?

Full credit to our Govt . Constant improvements and tweaks mean we are the envy of the world thats indisputable. Imagine if national was in, go hard and go early opening up the border lol. We would end up like all those countries and have to lock down again or have huge covid cases. Competence and diversity is what this country needs more then ever.

If you ever want to define blind, besotted love of Cindy, refer to THIS. Blind, blinkered, woke smothered love. Do I smell coffee brewing? Not in JT's house.

Where is the competence?

Comrade Cindy knew and has been caught out imo. Trying to shut the scandal down in a big hurry.

The questioning is related to when and what she knows, and how much she knows.

Despite your prodigious output, your opinion is quite irrelevant
