chevy86 2,683 Report post Posted August 4, 2017 Todd Barclay was thrown under the bus for trying to get evidence on a duplicitous staff member while Turei lauded by the left for being a lying thief. Go figure. What I find the most puzzling is why anyone would want to fornicate with her in the first place. There are some bloody desperados out there. crustyngrizzly 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worrying, and puzzling thing, is the lack of response from National. Keeping powder dry perhaps...??

crustyngrizzly 1,682 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 The worrying thing about that interview is that Mush allowed Davis to rave on for 7 minutes before she interjected. When was the last time a NAT was allowed to do that. Munch(mush) is a shocker i remember her locked up and studying the Panama papers to report dirt on the NATS.What a cock up that was in fact it was a non event. So far what i can read of the pinko policies it involves more taxes and thats it. meomy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are the opposition not jumping on the co leader of the Greens, and demanding her resignation over her dishonesty?. She only fessed up because someone had leaked it. Now normally you would expect National to be all over it, but no, just silence. My gut tells me something is going on, that maybe National have a bad apple yet to be exposed. This is having the effect of preoccupying them, and allowing Labour a free pass. meomy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the reason is, the long she stays there the better for the Nats. Shes a dopey walking time bomb for the left & sure as eggs the investigator will find out exactly how much she has stolen from the taxpayer & I am guessing the public will be bloody shocked by how much it might be. All of this and No doubt more will be out in coming weeks, better to have pressure going on in the last 2 weeks of an election lead up rather than now. Turei can't kept her daft mouth shut so the Nats are playing this really smart and waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOODBINE 88 Report post Posted August 8, 2017 National has a very capable young female cabinet minister called Nicki Kay who is as good as if not a better Poli as Jacinda.

bloke 1,232 Report post Posted August 8, 2017 Jacinda may have a life line if Greens move to Labour and Winston exposes Bill English (good catholic boy needs to go to confessions) by producing the hundreds of texts he sent to his former Electorate Secretary. Bill has form, remember how he was falsely claiming rental expenses for a house he owned in Wellington in the name of his Family Trust.

Do people really think someone so inexperienced, who has never achieved anything, can run the country and represent NZ on the World stage..??! A nice smile might look good but let's get real here. If Labour do manage to win this election, they will need the Greens and NZF to cobble an unholy coalition together....the mind boggles at who might turn up in that Government. You would think Winston would want the Deputy job if they need him to get over the line.....there's her first problem....and just how long Winnie would want to play second fiddle to her will be another..... meomy and chevy86 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustyngrizzly 1,682 Report post Posted August 9, 2017 Labour have announced 2 policies and they both include new taxes but Jacinda is unable to say how much new taxes then she has the audacity to critisize a Nat when he put a figure out there when clearly she has no idea herself.

eljay 1,711 Report post Posted August 9, 2017 But has Adern changed labor from being the bumblers they have been for the last 10 or more years. Does a Leopard change it's spots? So far all I can see she's done is promise increased taxation. Well, Jacinda, you can't get blood out of a stone, can you? Ask Meteria! Until she can get it into her (and her party's) heads, that less wasteful spending rather than additional taxes is the answer, it will be more of the same old same old. meomy and Brown Fox 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted August 9, 2017 What i find interesting, is how the Greens have gone from trying to save the planet, to social engineering. This Shaw character is leading a party that seems to be moving from their core base of true Greenies, to Maori and social welfare issues. The two brave MP's that walked represented the true Greenies, whats left is a bunch of feminists that are more interested in Metiria Turei's social engineering, and Maori issues. The entire bunch have got into Parliament without a single one of them being elected. They have lost all their principles, and will do anything to gain power. meomy, globederby12 and chevy86 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
