    Tame was actually referring to National MP Tim van de Molen, who was found in contempt and censured by Parliament last year after being accused of threatening a Labour MP in a select committee meeting.

    He noted that National Party leader Christopher Luxon stripped the MP of his portfolios at the time and asked whether the Greens should be doing the same with Genter.

    Swarbrick: “two completely different circumstances”



    ...err no she just described Van de Molen's actions as Genter's and National had handled his actions it appropriately…again, you can’t make this stuff up. All politicians are equal, only some are more equal than others, aye comrade? Apparently, public outcry is punishment enough - even if that outcry calls for stripping of her portfolio's. Regardless of the outcome of the inquiry, Genter will not loose her portfolio.

    Swarbrick admits she is an Activist and not a politician who would not cross the aisle to garner bipartisan support to further her cause. She's not really interested in helping NZ or the environment. She's a petulant child who dummy spits if she doesn't get what she wants


    Caught out exactly like the flakey propaganda spouting silly ‘champion an attention seeking cause per day’ goose she is.

    And now she's even got a Cinders Ardern hairstyle to complete the act.

    Yeah, if NZers put this lot anywhere near govt in two years time then we deserve everything we get.

    Not to worry, Australia happy to keep taking our best and brightest.

    Then you just watch everyone start to squawk when the replacements (mostly Indians and Filipinos) start making up a big percentage of the population.

    They're leaving under this government though.

    Not that inspired by the turnaround plan (if one even exists).

    The stood-down MP is already involved in a separate investigation launched by the Green Party that has surpassed nine weeks and cost at least $43,000.
    The catering & refreshments bill that high already ? Has the bill for the performers come in yet ?

    All up the standard of the talent has all the hallmarks of being as rough and rude as ..

    Wonder what spin Tweetie Bird will come out with next to try to minimise collateral damage and Chloe away all of little Darlee's debri out of sight ?

    True. The biggest demographic change in NZ for decades has come without a referendum, but as a result of bipartisan incompetence.

    It was a very good interview by Tame.
    But apparently he's a lefty glove puppet of the socialists...

    Despite being against many of the coalitions more extreme policies, I don't think I could stomach having Labour back so soon. They were a disaster and there is no evidence that they have the caliber of people to form a Government. I'm not convinced about Hipkins either, I really don't know what he stands for.

    The Coalition imo have / are making some good changes, cutting down on the huge amount of waste, I just whish they would tone it down a bit as their extremes have had far too much influence, particularly Shane Jones.

    For a man who hasn't been elected in years he has far too much to say and far too full of his own self importance. He knows better than anyone else attitude.

    Labour needs to do some serious rebuilding & bring in some people with real world experience.
