    No one knows who the foreign affairs minister of denmark is, almost everyone knows who their PM is just like they do with Jacinda.
    And both PM popularity heading the same way?

    All govts, good and bad get turfed when there's an international inflation crisis (see Australia).

    It's a good thing though that there's not an election this year.

    Isn't that wonderful.
    The Maori cabal would have warned Ardern NOT to touch any of them and being Ardern the spin mistress, she dutifully obeyed.

    She has no problem getting rid of the Pacific Islanders though in her cabinet though (Kris & Poto) and the Pakeha (Mallard).

    Big call there Bluey.

    Are you questioning Nanaia's whakapapa?

    Are you suggesting she's got a touch of the tar pot? LOL.

    It was clear to everyone a year ago (except spin mistress out of touch Ardern) that Faafoi was incompetent and useless as a minister but she continued to express confidence in him.

    Even while he checked himself out of being a responsible and working minister, and avoided any interaction with the media & public & hence, scrutiny of wtf he was doing - Ardern was still blowing red smoke up his arse (confident of him).

    Faafoi should have been sacked from his immigration post 2 years ago and it is galling that Ardern asked him to stay on.

    So many people have had their lives shattered thanks to Faafoi and his do nothing approach and this must be remembered at next year's election.

    Now, he admits he was not up to the job. By inference, it is clear he was picked for the job for other than his ability. So why was he appointed?

    25 June 2021 :

    “On Newshub Nation in late June, Faafoi failed to offer coherent explanations of what kinds of speech would likely fall foul of a new law — including whether millennials could be prosecuted for expressing hatred against boomers because of house prices, or whether someone claiming that homosexuals are destined for hell would be liable for prosecution.

    Extraordinarily, he maintained that although he was the Justice Minister, it wasn't up to him to clarify such matters. Rather, that would be a decision for the police. Exactly how a lowly police constable might be expected to do what has clearly foxed the Minister of Justice remains unexplained.”

    NZers deserve an effective, efficient and responsible government of competent & hardworking ministers who are appointed because they are up to the job.

    Not because of their gender, race or age.

    Ardern’s government has to be the absolutely worse that NZ has ever had for being useless precisely of Ardern’s wokeism - appearance matters more than ability.

    And NZers are paying the price.

    Dont worry - the sour taste will probably extend well into next year & beyond

    Infact .. long after Robbo's band aid fuel tax job and the latest $350 bribe have gone and finished

    I'm surprised She didn't sack herself -- bad taste issues must only extend to those who are considered
    as obvious collateral damage & very glaring obstacles to trying desperately to trump it (or more likely
    BS herself back in) in 2023 again

    At least 75% of the population have probably had a guts full of gangs, Little's feeble vacant grandstanding on Health restructuring (another disaster in the making) & Mahoota's 3 Waters nonsense - who should she sack to rid herself of those glaring obstacles ?

    The notorious Duck will probably next be spotted loitering around Wainuiomata Supermarket carparks & garden centres - hopefully the locals are swift and sharp enough to send a hail of heavy pots flying at the
    alien invader on sight

    And NZers are paying the price.

    That's the way the grand plan was spun out for starters or so it was hoped many would believe .. but has it not been effectively hijacked in the interim ?

    Problem is with every turn, the quality of the delivery and Parliamentary busy bee squatters expected to
    perform on delivery duty has rapidly diminished .

    You can't say the Public haven't become increasingly aware of the issue and it wont go away just because
    the Head Parrot decides to call a few of the deputies trembling in the spotlight to be cannon fodder like
    sacrificial lambs, in efforts to desperately try to save her own skin ..

    If 2022 was the year when a couple of Deputies were sacrificed for lessor wrongdoings, then 2023 will be a year where the Captain and rest of the Elite get to walk an even more unstable tenuous plank to potential demise. The greater population at large may not be quite so forgiving in their judging of the overall outcome delivered.. and seek to make those ultimately responsible for the shambles pay dearly.
