More Green's Bull Shi!

[Balance]

Brilliant article by Fran. Sums up the Green Party pretty well.

James Shaw's full beard says it all - he has to cover up his face to cover up the disgust & Acute embarrassment he must be feeling to belong to a party of woke hypocrites.

Where’s the green in Green Party?

"From the river to the sea, James' red kumara swallowing is there for all to see!"

Excellent opinion piece indeed.

Impossible to disagree with her conclusion :

“MPs opening up about their experiences with mental health used to be courageous and noble.

There were risks in admitting vulnerability in a high-performance world, being honest about these challenges did real good, reducing stigma and increasing awareness.

Now, it’s just a cheap excuse for those with a casual attitude to rules that most people abide by.

It undermines genuine victims: those who will go through distress at some time in their life and are met with a less forgiving reaction and an unresponsive mental health system.”

We all need to thank the media for exposing Golriz and Kiri Allan.

If they had not done that vital key part of their job, both would still be in Parliament.

What else do we not know about some MPs?

Now some of the gold dust has settled on the Golriz saga, may be a good time to suggest prospective MP's go through an assessment program to assess their mental fortitude and stamina to survive in the job, once shortlisted by their parties.

Such tests and assessments already exist in the corporate arena.

I passed them, and lasted the distance, and did not crack along the way.

Ministers are selected from a limited number of MP's, so it's important the pool of talent is up to a standard, rather than down to one.

The House of Representatives should never be the House of Reprobates.

Here is Chris Trotter's take on how the MSM was corrupted by the $55m fund :

https://thebfd.co.nz/2023/10/23/the-...se-of-nzs-msm/

" .......the state had offered the MSM the life-line of a $55 million “Public Interest Journalism Fund”. Less generally known, but offering incontrovertible confirmation of just how supine the MSM had become, were the terms and conditions which the MSM had to accept before the money could flow. Proprietors and editors had to sign up to a frankly revolutionary definition of the Treaty of Waitangi’s meaning and acquiesce to its logical political implications. That all the major media enterprises ended up signing on the dotted line was astounding.

Given that the ‘decolonising’ and ‘indigenising’ agenda imposed by the Sixth Labour Government played a crucial role in undermining its electoral support (the exigencies of Covid-19 having long since put paid to the Politics of Kindness!), the MSM’s unwavering support for that agenda – manifested by the near universal editorial refusal to allow any meaningful debate over its content – was in every way complicit with the alienation of Labour’s support.

Indeed, the MSM’s abject failure to fulfil its democratic duty as both the creator and presenter of informed – and diverse – public opinion was compounded by its strident promotion of all things pertaining to the decolonisation and indigenisation of New Zealand – sorry, Aotearoan – society. In this regard, when even the delivery of the weather forecast became an opportunity for indoctrination."

He with the fake degree is expected to leave Greens sometime this year - will James Shaw still have any balls left as he exit or as suspected, he has been an eunuch anyway in the Greens power structure.

" ......... the party is out of Government. It’s caucus, heavy on inexperience, is about to learn that picking up the phone to a friendly Labour minister is a much easier way of achieving change than a Member’s Bill of a petition.

The biggest problem for the Greens is that they’ve lost two MPs in varying forms of scandal in the past 12 months. Not a great record, it must be said. There is a whiff of the chaos that engulfed the party during the Metiria Turei affair.

Co-leader James Shaw is widely expected to quit this term, possibly early, giving members the time to replace him before the party’s AGM. When he’s gone, just two of the caucus’ 15 MPs will have had any experience of time in Parliament before the last Labour Government. The caucus is stacked with new or relatively new MPs who only have experience of the Greens in government, if they have any experience at all."
