I think he is a person who stands for nothing and so everything is fair game.

Hard News: Criminalising Journalism, in reply to Sacha,
In context, we were discussing my electorate. My last electorate was Epsom. I cannot remember her exact word, I don't think it was actually structure. What she said made good sense to me. Prior to Tamaki, I was in Epsom, before that Helensville - Key carpetbag land, prior to that Mt Albert (Helen), so I get around. I asked for some specific advice, her answer made sense to me.
The main thing this year for me is to vote, my daughter just turned 18, so I have been agitating - erm, trying to influence, which I don't usually do. But I was around for Muldoon, this is the same sort of National with the added munter of Act. -
"The reason there is a pay gap is because of the nature of the jobs, as I understand it."
Understanding reason fail. -
Jacinda Ardern was very diplomatic about Farrar, Key and fully up with the play. Knew the Peter Lange stance, said her blogging was hard work but that she enjoyed it. She is the real deal, her comment that only Labour had the structure to take National head on, resonated. Good sense of humour too. Door knocking is a pretty cool thing to do I reckon, it's my birthday too ;-) that's why I was at central, my electorate is Tamaki, we discussed this (Muldoon's old hang and includes GI where 100 people are being turfed out of their state houses right now, brighter future indeed).
My friend said she saw Winnie at the fair. There was a medieval display with swords and stocks with a person in them that people were throwing veges at, could have sworn it was Gerry... -
Just met Jacinda Ardern, what an amazing woman, I mentioned PAS (she spoke very highly of PAS and RB in particular), we chatted, she was door knocking, great chat, wide ranging and she gave me some very informed options, which I needed.
What a breath of fresh air. I go to the Grey Lynn festival every year, you see alot of Aucklanders out having fun, eating, listening to music, playing music, buying stuff, saw Len Brown, Willie Jackson, some old friends of mine. The National billboard has been given a Hitler mustache…I couldn't envisage John, Bill, Joyce or Gerry enjoying themselves there. -
Hard News: Criminalising Journalism, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
That's hate speech not trolling, needs to be held to task in law.

Hard News: A week being a long time in politics, in reply to Russell Brown,
Oh well. At least this thing is sorting out the journalists from the celebrities.
Amen

It's funny no one has mentioned the actual words "freedom of the press", does National have that many bots?
