FFS! Why Don’t You Take Some Responsibility, for Once?

This Goverment has a terrible trait of never taking responsibility for their own policies and actions. They always seek to blame others for their numerous failings. Remember Ardern chucking a KFC worker under the bus, also Americold for various Covid outbreaks? Then there were the three women they defamed and

Do I Need to Spell It Out for You New Zealand?

What a disgrace. This vile government has no shame and is determined to ram through its wildly unpopular bills under urgency. Democracy be damned, welcome to Mahutocracy where the Tyranny of the Majority is replaced by the Tyranny of Tainui. Up to her gills in obfuscating about the new better-
