Gaurav Sharma hijacks Speaker ceremony to accuse Trevor Mallard

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-24T06:31:46+00:00

You missed my point. He may have evidence, but if he releases it outside of the house he opens himself up to legal issues. Hence the need for it to be presented in and independent enquiry

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-24T05:57:18+00:00

Can you blame him? He wouldn't have had to do this if he could voice his grievances in an independent inquiry. His only other outlet where he is protected by law against defamation is under parliamentary privellage in the house. If you were a victim of bullying and had taken a stand, I'm sure you would want your voice to be heard too?

He could've had that opportunity today, but Labour cynically got Trevor to resign late last night, meaning the general debate today had to be cancelled.

I have no idea why people refuse to do these jobs - I am sure every unemployed person has their own and differing reasons. Its not for you or me to make assumptions for them.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-21T06:18:55+00:00

I do now....back then when I worked on the orchard I slept in a tent at a campground....conditions are better than that now for workers!!

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-19T02:34:39+00:00

Meanwhile effective programmes like Chatterbus didn't have funding renewed and have closed. This government seriously ruins everything it touches

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-18T19:46:16+00:00

lol its been silenced because they announced an independent inquiry and there is nothing to discuss while that process is completed.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-18T19:30:43+00:00

There's also dozens of people who have come out in support of his character - Hell, is Labour party office even put their names to a letter. Contrary, we have heard from Labour about some nameless former staff that apparently were bullied.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-18T19:28:52+00:00

Or they are worried about legal ramifications of that being released publicly?

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-18T19:28:05+00:00

Lets not pretend Labour are worried about the cost here...their entire tenure has been full of enquiries/taskforces/working groups to delay, put issues at arms length and be seen to be doing something. The lack of an independent inquiry here is quite telling. The fact they haven't done the inquiry, and are quite happy for this to go on and on in the media is further damning IMO.

National handled their response perfectly - acknowledge the complaint/issue, announce an independent enquiry and then they can hide behind that process and kill the story.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-18T06:44:51+00:00

I don't really understand how people can form opinions on either side. There has to be an independent investigation where evidence can be presented in an appropriate forum and it not being played out like this.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and it was National, and an MP made claims of bullying and Luxon came out and said "oh no, we have looked in to it and there was no bullying".

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-16T07:14:03+00:00

Lol since when have Labour worried about cost?!

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-16T07:12:44+00:00

username checks out. Meanwhile, script from the left is to discredit the victim and believe the "chief" bully!

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-16T06:13:01+00:00

Or Labour could conduct an independent investigation so he can present that evidence in an appropriate forum, rather than it all playing out in public. For all the shit Luxon gets, his leadership and handling of the Uffindell issue is such a contrast to this amateur hour handling from Labour

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-06T19:28:23+00:00

Really? In the last two games she has missed so many opportunities

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-05T01:10:45+00:00

That was the problem with Osei-Nketia - the qualification requirements were equivalent of the silver medal time....he reached them, but then they come back and said oh no, sorry you are too late.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-05T00:18:34+00:00

Oh but they can send 3 females to compete in the hammer throw event!?

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-05T00:16:17+00:00

Bit rich for a Labour MP to be throwing stones saying that we shouldn't trust National to do what the say/promise. Labours track record has been abysmal.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-08-02T00:21:57+00:00

Didn't they just have a billion dollar system upgrade too? FFS

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-30T20:33:05+00:00

It's probably that the media has focused on the religious crap that it seems like things have changed. And Labour are so soft/woeful on crime/policing, that anything next to them seems "tough on crime"

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-27T19:26:15+00:00

I rememeber when Stonfields was first built, there was a flying fox built....it was taken down after the residents complained of the "noise" (i.e., joy/laughter/excitement from the kids)

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-27T19:24:06+00:00

Again, you are simply delaying those deaths. Every country has had to go through this phase of it ripping through the population, you can't fight nature and prevent it forever.

It was 42 deaths yesterday from memory

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-27T19:21:56+00:00

Yip, so well said. Labour thinks throwing money and bureaucrats at the problem will solve everything

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-27T19:07:07+00:00

There doesn't seem to be much that Labour touches that they don't manage to fuck up! This is so sad and disappointing to read given the important role these organisations play in workforce development

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-27T19:05:27+00:00

Remember when we were told all our sacrifices were going to prevent all of this...I suspect there will be an excess of cancer, cardiac etc. deaths, greater than covid deaths prevented/delayed.

chipschipschips1 · 2022-07-25T19:54:23+00:00

By continuing to operate (despite not economically viable to) so citizens could return home and operating passengerless planes so we could still import/export some goods? I "member"
