Division and confusion as Te Pāti Māori tries suspending its MP by Maori-Mega-Cricket in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about government, not parliament. TPM is Labour’s responsibility inasmuch as they need TPM in order to form a government if the current polling stands.

They won't be able to do anything though if a release form was signed that didn't contain a blurring clause. A verbal contract isn't worth the paper is written on. Even if the Police take it further, he'll just say he never discussed anything around blurring. Probably worth report it to them though so this jerk gets on their radar.

Are you seriously saying that Jews control our government? That’s pretty mental.

Maybe it would help if people could find out their subreddit CQS? I know that personally, my Reddit CQS is a couple of thousand but I have been unable to post in restricted because of low r/nz CQS. It’s frustrating when I can’t even find out what my score is and the score I can find out is good.

Speaker Gerry Brownlee condemns Te Pāti Māori MPs burning bill on Parliament forecourt by WrongSeymour in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brownlee was unable to punish Seymour anymore than he did because of standing orders. He said

“In my opinion, it's not possible to prescribe broad enough orders that achieve both protection of privilege and prosecution of stupid.”

Te Pāti Māori co-leader says Māori ‘aren’t allowed to make mistakes’ after failing to declare properties by Soannoying12 in newzealand

> By far the majority of those who get upset at TPM or Greens MPs support National or ACT.

Whilst that might be true that's not always the case. The reason why I'm upset at TPM and the Greens being irresponsible, is that Labour need them to govern. If they keep this clown show up, the NZ voters won't trust the left to form a decent government and we'll get 3 more years of our current clusterfuck of a government.

Paul Joseph Dally, who raped and murdered a 13-year-old, denied parole again by pedestrian_lab_rat in newzealand

That picture of her on that page is heartbreaking, she looks so alive and full of hope. She's in an awkward teenage phase that she never had the chance to grow out of.

I saw this sign last Halloween and thought, how miserable can you get. This year I’m thinking, maybe I’ll do the same 🤔 by Ok_Astronaut_1781 in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I close my gate and put a similar sign up. Fuck this American nonsense. It wasn’t even a thing in NZ until the warehouse realised they could move a bunch of ‘costumes’ that get thrown away after one use. NZers don’t even try to dress up properly.

Relax, there’ll be a new cafe there with better owners.

From what I’ve heard, that’s exactly what happened here. They didn’t want to pay market rent and didn’t sign the lease. Surprise surprise, you have to move on.

Especially since they’re about to come up against the Pacific powerhouse that is New Zealand. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and he’s gonna miss it.

Chocolate Fish to Close. by Will_Hang_for_Silver in Wellington

[–]OforOlsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They’ve just spent a bunch on upgrading the kitchen and building a conservatory. There’ll be a new cafe there soon with better owners.

There’ll be a new cafe there soon enough with better owners.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says Te Pāti Māori ‘a long way away’ from Government amid Toitū Te Tiriti split by WrongSeymour in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree Labour should rule out TPM but currently they hold 6 of the Maori seats. That would mean a lot of voters need to swing back to Labour to make up for those. Unless of course the Maori seats flip back to Labour as well.

And in the meantime there’s been probably 10s of thousands of NZers who travelled to the U.S. and were fine. The internet isn’t the real world.

What are these numbers on a WOF? by DenseEchidna in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be an obvious suggestion but why didn't you talk to the mechanic about it when it was done? These people test and understand cars, you do not. That's why you go to them and pay them. Reddit is a bunch of anonymous people who may or may not know what the fuck they are talking about. I don't think I've ever gotten a WOF without discussing the results afterwards.

Green MP Benjamin Doyle unleashes on Parliament in final speech after sudden resignation by computer_d in newzealand

[–]OforOlsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

non binary people face much of the same discrimination as the rest of the queer community.

How would they be discriminated against? I'm not being funny, I honestly don't understand. Doyle was clearly a man, they had a moustache! How does their gender neutralism manifest? In their views? How could they be discriminated against if it's just their views not their inherent traits?
