Probably take a step back if Judith Collins is invading your dreams.

Andrew Little (as a member, not as a PM) Stuart Nash There's 3 more that you could add to the list. Remember when Key was around and there were issues, most things went to Joyce or Brownlee. |

I thought a similar thing when I read that.
Its totally within their control to have Covid flare back up, and I wouldn't put it past (maybe the far right of) the party. But I would say a similar thing to the far left of Labour or Greens if it were to benefit them |

I'm wondering how sending a sexually explicit image to a school girl is not 'illegal conduct'.
Also good on Labour for passing the info over & not going all dirty politics leaking etc.

It shouldn't be praise that Labour did the right thing, but in today's world it unfortunately is.
By the time it's obvious what National is about the damage is long done. When they're not in a position to be bullies, they collapse. All that's left right now is their exposed core. The likes of Collins and Brownlee. The election will show how brittle that old skeleton is. It could be a lich, then we'll be fucked.

I find it particularly distasteful that mental health seems to be getting used as a smokescreen to cover up illegal conduct. Oh he's suffering from stress and depression, we can't confront him about using a carriage service to send pornography to a schoolgirl, that would be mean.

Normally I'd say "National's churn rate is a good thing, fresh blood, meritocracy, no room for dead wood" but the South Island electorate branches just seem to be a conveyor belt of entitled white male disasters.

Collins and the party leaders really need to take a hard stand right now.
Basically tell the whole party for people to come forward now with anything that may cause issues. Deal with the issues (publicly), and talk about how the rot is gone and starting fresh. And maybe send someone down south rather than picking someone from the area |

So now Collins apparantly has a tip off about a Labour member which she told Ardern about on Tuesday afternoon.
And then conveniently starts talking to the AM show about it this morning (not sure if other media knew before that). While I'm not saying that its not an actual legit allegation, it does show the difference between the parties, and Collins trying to deflect away from her current parties issues. |

Iain Lees-Galloway gone. Inappropriate relationship with staffer. Must be one of those power imbalance things.

"At the time the relationship commenced the staffer was working for an agency, not in his office." He wasn't necessarily in a position of power over her (assume its a her). So the only 2 issues I see is 1 - Did he help get her a job as a staffer? which could be a bit dodge 2 - Is he married? Is this what is making this inappropriate behaviour? Edit. Yes he is married. So it's the affair that has made him have to stand down. Last edited by blynk : 22nd July 2020 at 12:08. |

he didn't stand down - he was sacked. which is a very unjacinda thing. I presume Lees-Galloway has fucked up in some way that were not hearing about.

I'm thinking this wasn't his first rodeo with a cowgirl.

You get to resign for bad judgment, you get sacked for endangering the leader.

I have to appreciate that while politicians around the world get away with worse and worse shit, we still at least have some capacity in New Zealand to call ours out.

Well it seems like Collins is taking some plays from the Trump handbook
Judith Collins says she was 'joking' when falsely saying no one escaped while she was Corrections Minister So apparently when she raises her eyebrows, its a joke. |

This is a bit ridiculous
National’s Palmerston North candidate apologises after photo of him appearing to impersonate Hitler surfaces on social media

If it was just the 4-year-ago image, OK fine he was a dumb kid. However that mate he was hanging out with less than a year ago suggests he's not really learnt much and is still a dumb kid.
Future candidate maybe. Candidate now, probably not.

It's just a bunch of nothing. Beating up on National is popular right now, people have their eye out for low hanging fruit.
