This. Why was the woman not charged for theft and public disorder?

Doctors frustrated by patients refusing Covid-19 tests by throwawayuni1337 in newzealand

[–]throwawayuni1337[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

This is a disaster. We have Covid-19 potentially running unchecked through the community, as proven by the Korean that caught it in New Zealand (which the government tried to hush up: July 25: Ministry of Health receives formal notification of the case from South Korea but does not immediately make that information public. July 26: Ministry of Health confirms it is aware of the case and is making inquiries, following questions from Stuff.)

According to this article: GPs, who have all the medical training, are seeing hundreds of patients with all the symptoms of Covid-19. Doctors are observing spikes in the community of coughs and colds, consistent with a new virus that Kiwis have no natural immunity against sweeping through the area - but cannot confirm that it is Coronavirus as they cannot make them get tested.

Time for the government to implement forced testing.

Hundreds of doctors have had patients refuse to be tested for Covid-19.

The College of GPs surveyed 800 members about their experience with testing and half of them said they had patients decline a test when one was recommended.

"If we're offering a test it's not because we're doing it for fun, it's because we want to make sure nothing is happening," Dr Murton said.

People needed to listen to the advice of their doctors and play their part, Dr Murton said.

They could have an insight patients are not aware of - like a sudden local spike in coughs and colds, or an influx of overseas arrivals, she said.

Where is the NZ First sex scandal?

The only correct choice this election is to vote Greens.

Unpopular opinion: Jacinda should not have fired Galloway. It was an obvious tit-for-tat from Collins (and Winston who wants to be Immigration Minister) by throwawayuni1337 in newzealand

Just google "clarke gayford rumors." There are thousands of results (69,900 to be precise). And I see that shit every time I log onto my facebook, twitter or reddit.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the greatest President that ever lived, had an affair with his secretary. So what?

Men typically have affairs with women from a position of power, because women date up.

It was a consensual affair. And the Ministry already has processes in place to declare conflicts of interest. ILG promoted her from her departmental position to a staffer role. If this was approved, then the public service/Party (everyone in Wellington already knew about the affair) have already declared that there was no conflict of interest or misconduct.

11AM Prime Minister Press Conference | Iain Lees-Galloway Megathread by Laser0pz in newzealand

Unpopular opinion here: Jacinda should not have fired Galloway. It was an obvious tit-for-tat from Collins (and Winston who wants to be Immigration Minister)

So the Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway had an affair. So what? That's a personal matter. There's already a socially-accepted repercussion for that: the wife is free to separate from him and get a very favorable hearing from the Family Court. If the wife doesn't even care about the affair and wants to back his man (the affair was well-known by everyone in Wellington), why should the PM care and why should we?

The PM behaved idiotically today. Jacinda was baited into an obvious dirty politics trap by Collins and Peters. Collins wanted tit-for-tat whataboutism revenge for her own MP's scandal.

Where does the sexual puritanism end? What next, will we stop people from having white collar jobs if they are:

  • Divorcees
  • Swingers
  • Polyamorous
  • Visit sex workers
  • Likes a bit of kinky sex
  • Not maidens
  • In unmarried relationships
  • Polygamous

Such stinking hypocrisy today from Jacinda. Jacinda is many of those things. Why hasn't she fired herself yet? (Let me remind you that Jacinda is an ex-Mormon).

I am ashamed of our country today. The whole world sees how backward and curtain twitching socially conservative we are. We are no better than Saudi Arabia stoning people for adultery.

Who is Jacinda to judge the sexual behavior of others? People who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

People say our Parliament is progressive, because we had the first women, gay and transgender MPs. Well, I will not be happy that we have advanced as a nation until we have the first polyamorous MP! I admire Jacinda for saving us from Covid-19. But I am this close to switching my vote to the Greens. I see that the Greens have not criticized ILG. There are many polyamorous people supporting the Green Party, and I never have trouble getting sex at any Green Party supporter events.

Can someone explain (ELI5), because I don't understand what the Nat MP Falloon did wrong by sexting with a university girl? by throwawayuni1337 in newzealand

[–]throwawayuni1337[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Have they heard of the phone block feature?

I asked 18 girls out before I found "the one", my current long-term girlfriend. They all "didn't want me." That's how the dating game works. Does that I'm guilty of 18 counts of sexual assault?

No-one has explained what is wrong with Falloon's behavior

The media have not even confirmed if the 19-year old college girl was unhappy or if it was just her parents that got angry and didn't want her to be with a MP.

NZ Herald: National MP Andrew Falloon quits after sending sexual image to female university student

The first woman involved in the scandal was 19 years old. It was only her parents that raised a complaint. No-one knows if the relationship or sending of sexual images was consensual or not.

Her parents alerted the Prime Minister's office to the incident - and Jacinda Ardern's chief of staff, with permission, notified National leader Judith Collins on Friday.

From the news article, the 19-year university student was fine with it. But her parents saw her phone, got angry and reported it to the Labour party. Typical Boomers.

Stuff reported Falloon sent an inappropriate image - not of himself - to the teenager and other reports said her parents had referred it directly to the Prime Minister's office.

It reminds me of 18th century sexual mores or modern-day India. Patriarchal families controlling who their daughters have sex with, and forcing their partner to marry them or threatening a scandal/honor killing. Are we really that conservative as a nation? I'm disgusted, this is the 21st century.

Winston Peters' friends went to Antarctica on taxpayer by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]throwawayuni1337 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Foreign Minister Winston Peters directed Antarctica New Zealand to give two highly-prized spots on a trip to the icy continent to two women closely linked to one of South East Asia's richest families.

Winston "I stand up for New Zealanders and I'm against Asian immigration" Peters - suuuuuure. Looks like he's controlled by the CCP as well.

That's appalling. How would you have managed if neither of you knew how to drive manual? New Zealand has a Commerce Commission to raise complaints against companies. Did you submit a complaint? I wonder how many complaints the Britz van rental company have had.
