    Certainly it is a generalisation and descriptive rather than judgmental.

    But as they say, cliches get to be cliches for a reason.

    Some predictions for 2021

    There will be a massive Nurses strike next winter shutting down the DHBs which will test the resolve of the government

    The government will ponder the appointment of the next Governor General when Dame Patsy Reddy term ends. One thing is certain, it cant be a Pakeha male under any circumstances. Optics are paramount, competence and experience optional extras.
    what are others opinions?

    Why not a POC LGBT in a wheelchair? That should cover all bases.

    Better with a guide dog alongside the wheelchair.

    Not really blackcap. There's an awful lot of letters missing from that alphabet soup. By the way....do gingers count as POC? (asking for a friend).

    Lest we forget....all folks who look the same think the same according to leftie identity politics....not that they are racist or misogynist or anything. Couldn't be...that would be problematic wouldn't it?

    Good to see Jacinda is listening to the public who have concerns over some companies keeping the wage subsidy.

    Yesterday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she would be asking the Ministry of Social Development to make do an audit on companies that had taken the wage subsidy offer over the past few months.
    That was on the back of companies such as Fulton Hogan, which took up the offer of a wage subsidy then went on to make a huge profit.
    "There is a moral question here," Ardern said.

    Moral question from the hijab wearing Cindy (even after there were pleadings for her not to wear it again) - the hijab is the symbol of oppression in some Muslim countries like Iran?

    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world...headscarf.html

    "An Iranian woman who removed her headscarf in protest has been jailed for 24 years. It comes after three Iranian women were also given lengthy prison sentences for publicly protesting against the compulsory wearing of veils earlier this month."

    Rich, very very rich from the cynical one who only knows morality when it suits her popularity.

    Where are her morals when she decided to ignore the oppression of these women when the issue was brought to her notice?

    She is disgusting beyond contempt.
