Labour govt 2020-23

That is quite an assumption. Man/woman, if they are not up to the job get rid of them. If they are not acting in the best interest of the electorate, get rid of them.

You need to read more of Balances posts they tend to be very misogynistic in nature - Balance is not alone though in that across society. Why do competent PMs get called Aunty? It’s pathetic.

It's a permeation of Maori influence into Nz's language.

More a recognition of maternal behaviour, than derogatory.

Indeed, get rid of dr sharma who is ignoring hamilton west to focus on the trivial.

Why get rid of him ?

Make him leader instead to replace Ardern & improve the Average IQ of Labour's
front bench by 450% instantly

Really? - Helen Clark was PM some years ago now and she suffered same pathetic Aunty stuff.

Well Aunty Andrew would be plain ridiculous wouldn't it - which was the likely case before
Ardern came sloping in

I wish that were so. The sobriquet "Aunty Helen" was used along with "Nanny State" to position the former Labour Government as interfering, restrictive and out of touch.

I don't think that was a "borrowing" from modern Maori. "Aunty BBC" predated it by many many years.

I realise it's not an everyday term in Remuera or Khandallah, but spend your time amongst Maori people, and you will hear it regularly, and not just directed at their blood Aunt.

Well hello - I’m well aware of the Māori use but referring to 2 female PMs is patrons and pathetic.

Minister of Justice Kiri Allan no less - email released by Dr Sharma - reminding Labour MPs to circumvent OIA.

Ardern caught lying again!

The message purported to be from Allan says it is "less than desirable" when written correspondence is shared without discussing issues first.

"Hey team - reminder to have a chat with your ministerial colleague before sending correspondence.

"All correspondence is OIA-able and if we are being lobbied on issues by colleagues, especially where we haven't had a yarn, things unfolding through OIA process less then desirable [sic].

My error - patrons should read patronising 😀
