    Indeed, so much so that Helen Clarke is running a personal telethon to drum up donations. Given she needs to do this has the whiff of desperation and doesn't bode well given your (correct) theory above

    The wealthy ex-PM Helen Clark wants to ensure a Labour government so that she can enjoy GST-free fruit and vegetables.

    The hit pieces on ACT continue. One News has been trawling through old social media comments, digging for dirt. And they’ve found that Mark Cameron from ACT has previously said a bunch of things including calling JA ‘an IQ lightweight’. He was made to give a grovelling apology, David Seymour was hounded for comment, and Keiran McAnulty was allowed to chip in with a couple of comments as was Gorrilaz Golriman.

    Then it was on to Rawiri Waititi and his suspension from Parliament….a story given the once-over-lightly in a 5 second piece.

    The bias is clear and obvious, sadly.

    Ardern is a lightweight. Why on earth would he apologise?

    TBF, he looked like he'd turned up unarmed, to a battle of wits.

    She is not fit to kiss his arse.

    The most useless and clueless PM NZ was cursed with. And when she ran out of BS and spin, she said she ran out of gas and fled. What a loser.

    These days you can be crucified if found to have called (Saint) JA an ‘IQ lightweight’ some years ago, but Te Pati claiming that Maori are genetically superior is met with a yawn. Strange times we are living through.

    And yet Ardern ran rings around her opposites in the debating chamber. She consistantly made Bridges, Collins, Muller & Luxon look like fools in question time.

    Love or hate Ardern she was no intellectual lightweight as some scum peddlers on here espouse.

    She also led a world leading response to the pandemic again despite what the conspiracy reabbit warren dwellers want you to think. If National had been in power under their leadership at the time it would have been a complete disaster and many more people would have lost their lives.

    I find it amasing six months after she has left office, which I agree needed to happen as she couldn't get out of crisis mode, that the ferals are still harping on about her.

    It's a pity people can't criticise whilst showing due respect. This ugly character assassination and in Ardern's case its obvious misogyny, as she has copped it far more than anyone else, says more about the poster than the subject.

    Nah, calling someone an ‘IQ lightweight’ is pretty mild, and a handful of people would have read the comment when it was posted. Trust a lefty like you to start shrieking about ‘misogyny’.
