Labour govt 2020-23

My point is that she will respond very quickly....and with millions of dollars if she sniffs a vote in it. Nothing to do with ethics.

Ihumatao.

Trevor Mallard.

Cynical Cindy shows her true hypocritical and manipulative nature more and more often - lapped up by her lapdog supporters as her being pragmatic.

I know that is your opinion!
There are other views but you wouldn't listen (or listen but not hear).

From Oxford languages :

Cynical : concerned only with one's own interests and typically disregarding accepted standards in order to achieve them.
"a cynical manipulation of public opinion"

Just don't ask Cynical Cindy about kindness to the person whose life is destroyed by her hand-picked defender, Trevor Mallard with the $330k (+ more to come) price tag.

How cynical can any 'leader' get?

Oh, don't forget the hijab - wearing it still after it was pointed out that women in Iran are being persecuted, jailed and beaten up for not wearing the hijab.

She is cynical for example because the Pike River fiasco unfolding now is a result of what you call "dog whistle politics" while Labour and in particular Andrew Little and Winston Peters (the one of "I will be the first one in" fame) were barking loud and making promises down the WC to get votes there before the 2017 election.

Or like macduffy says, why one (Pike) and not the other where more lives where lost ?

I'm happy to listen to views that reflect the reality of what is unfolding, or what is likely to unfold based on reasoned logic. There is plenty of evidence that Ardern will spend up large with our money when she sniffs a vote to be had. If nothing in it for her....cold as stone. That's our Cindy's true colours.

No reasoned logic there.

Yup - just like she will make an appearance for anything remotely positive for her image but hide like a midnight intruder when there is anything remotely negative. Ihumatao is the outstanding example - nowhere to be seen.

BTW, I heard from a property developer that FBU has been given a ‘sweetener’ to give the impression of selling the land to taxpayers for well below market value.

Give us your logic why Miss Kindness & Transparency is silent on Trevor’s dastardly deed of knifing a man’s career and future?

I think many politicians are cynical. With Ardern I think she has cynically jettisoned her belief in a CGT in order to widen her electoral appeal. Why has she not withdrawn her support from Mallard? He has behaved horrendously by prejudging and unjustifiably besmirching. They are certainly not qualities befitting a Speaker of The House.
