If Ross has been under investigation as a serial rooter/harrasser for a year, that means he's probably been collecting "insurance" for a year, preparing for the day when he got hauled before the boss and ensuring that when that happened he could suggest to the boss that it was in the boss's best interests for this to all go away quickly.

National need to suck it in and use the waka jumping Bill. Looking like hypocrites but Ross fading into obscurity it better than shit being dragged on for years.

Ironically, the MP whom Bridges described as "f----g useless", is, well, pretty much that. She hasn't really done anything for the Coast.
Also (and this is just my personal opinion) is if Mr Ross decides to run as an independent in his electorate, I don't think he has a hope of winning. People will remember what he did to the National Party...but they may not vote National either. Last edited by The Edge : 19th October 2018 at 23:15. |

Bahaha Ross has had “a change of heart” and is NOT resigning, presumably so he can keep running Operation Burn This Motherfucker Down with the protection of absolute parliamentary privilege.

I assume even the Greens have these kind of messes going on. But my biases tell me National takes this door to the next level, given the power-over nature of their politics.
It's at least part of why life has gone to hell for so many NZers.

-door. Posting from mobile is brutal. I should get a tablet someday soon.
So this is all ultimately good for National right? Someone I know close to Northland politics said other National MPs are having a great time watching shit burn. It's all good opportunities for them. It could be this bogs National down for awhile. But so they lose the next, election, were they going to win it in any case? By the following election this will barely rate. But we're pretty used to eating shit right now, they could spring right back with some "cleaned house" perception.

Pretty sure that removes him from parliament- no need to pull the pin on a wakajumping action. |

I like the idea of the cops making a statement, but there's a privacy issue here too - they may not be ALLOWED to make a statement without explicit consent from JLR or someone holding a Right of Attorney over medical matters on his behalf.

Some good points here, I really hope some hard lessons will be learnt from all this.

Maybe the whole mental health thing is some people deciding someone who would reveal secrets about them is surely a crazy person?
I mean what kind of support could Cameron Slater offer? Is he helping Ross keep his mouth shut?

If you involve dramaqueen parasites like Lusk and Slater, everything will get worse in every possible way.

The anonymous text is concerning. I wonder if someone who didn't have Ross's interests in mind sent it. With that and Bridge's "embarrassing" dig, there's been some staging to set up the idea of Ross being sectioned in the public eye.
Slater seems more enforcer than supporter. Lusk doesn't sound particularly warm either.

The one asking for the end of the investigation into Bridges' expenses leak, for the sake of the mental health of the leaker.
I think the assumption is that Ross sent it. Which may well be the case. Or it could have been someone else, trying to paint the leaker as a crazy person.

The timing of Labour weekend is certainly convenient. Gives Slater plenty of time to work Ross over before the whole business is put under serious scrutiny.
Tomorrow should be interesting.

Slater is implying that National were the ones who pushed him into care behind his wife's back. I hope he's full of shit as usual.

Sectioning is a Health action, not a Police one. Police are only involved as it requires physically removing someone.
Why are people asking for the Police to comment? |
23rd October 2018, 14:08 | #5315 | |
|
Because of shoddy reporting. Right now it seems it's still not known what the circumstances for Ross actually are.

It's mostly the NZH citing "friends". Everyone else citing "the media". It was a bit of a compromise to check for myself. Apparently he's in Middlemore right now. But I'm not sure if Middlemore has confirmed this, or if this is still the word of friends. I'm not looking again.
On balance I suspect this is more a genuine struggle for Ross, than a conspiracy between people to shut him down. But I don't know that. Which is worrying. Mental health systems and power systems together is icky and scary. I get Ross has privacy rights, but his privacy can be publicly protected while senior public officials can provide assurances of the safety of the member as well as appropriate handling of power and that those with an agenda aren't in positions of undue influence.

The whole situation still stinks. Mental health diagnoses aren't like a typical medical diagnosis. What's unusual behaviour for one person is a normal day for another. Often a breakdown is the consequence of a healthy person being unable to deal with unhealthy circumstances. People can be pushed over the edge, stories can be spun to busy doctors and an ignorant public.
Bridges seeming confident his problems are over only adds to the chill.
