Claimed she was a refugee but actually came here after a holiday to Singapore. Claimed to be a lawyer but was never registered or practiced. Falsely claimed she “represented” human rights victims. Steals clothes & groceries & blames it on others Every part of her life is a fraud

How embarrassing for Labour, their followers and Kiwi Press..
The only ship in Labour’s last Budget? Hardship.
Will Hipkins take responsibility for the ferries?
Liam Hehir points out:
You might think the decision to cancel the so-called mega ferries for New Zealand’s Cook Strait was a mistake. Reasonable people can disagree on whether the new government’s pivot to smaller, more affordable vessels was the right call. But one thing should be clear: the situation was the Hospital pass from Hell
You probably won’t pick that up reading Newsroom or Stuff. The simplistic media narrative here is that this has been a completely self-inflicted wound for National.
But if the current situation is the disaster the journos are making out, it’s hard to see why they are also giving a free pass to Chris Hipkins. If this is a catastrophe (and that’s a big if), then he deserves much of the criticism – and it’s hard to see how both Labour and the press gallery expect to have it both ways here.
What Hehir is referring to is this:
As KiwiRail noted to incoming finance minister Nicola Willis, the 2023 PREFU made no meaningful allowance for the additional funding required to save Project iReX. This was despite repeated warnings from KiwiRail throughout 2023 that at least $950 million in additional funding was necessary to proceed.
Hehir points out there are are two explanations for this:
- Scenario 1: Labour Wasn’t Serious About Funding the Ferries
- Scenario 2: Labour Deliberately Hid the Problem
The conclusion:
If the mega ferries were so crucial we had to say yes to the extra cost then the omission of funding from the PREFU is not a minor oversight. It is a glaring example of political evasion that demands accountability.
If we accept the argument of Chris Hipkins that the mega ferries were so critical to New Zealand’s infrastructure then we must also agree that he is condemning bimself. He was prime minister at the various key points and so he bears responsibility for that failure as much as anyone else does. The only thing more galling than his current outrage is the fact that he isn’t being asked any questions about it.
The hypocrisy is great.
Melissa O’Hagan wrote this and by God she got it right:
“It probably doesn’t matter what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern does from here on in. Her legacy, in many minds, is already in place. The division of a nation. We are witnessing a disunion of our fellow citizens in a way we’ve never seen before, well in my lifetime anyway; It wasn’t so many years ago that although there might be disagreement on an issue, there was still a semblance of respect for each other’s views. That has well and truly gone out the window in Ardern’s New Zealand. The venom, and – I’m just going to say it – hatred, on display is not only shocking, but extremely sad. It’s out of hand. We used to think in trying times New Zealanders would come together and forget minor irritations about left and right notions. But now, that concept is gone. Most of you would have seen this division playing out somewhere in your life. Some of you will have experienced it personally. Perhaps within your own circle of friends, or disappointingly, your family. You may think I’m talking about our current situation with lockdowns and vaccinations, and I am, but not only this. How about the smouldering disunity between Maori and so-called ‘non-Maori’; homeowners and renters; property owners and tenants; business owners and employees; beneficiaries and workers; firearm owners and police; farmers and environmentalists; progressives and conservatives? The vaccinated and the ‘non-vaccinated’ The list goes on. Where does this division come from and why is it so strong right now, you may ask? Because of one thing: politicisation. The Ardern government has deliberately politicised every aspect of our lives. How we live, how we work, who is allowed an opinion, who isn’t, what you can and can’t do, when you can do it. Who pays, who benefits, who controls our water and land, and even who can have a say in our supposed democratic system. The government has done nothing but stoke the flames of identity politics and New Zealand is like a bad crème brulee: all kinds of split! By politicising every space New Zealanders occupy, the government ends up controlling that space. And that, my friends, is what it’s all about. Division leads to control, and that is where we are at. A country where citizens are at each other’s throats. A terribly sad, and in my opinion possibly the worst, consequence of this increasingly authoritarian government which is hell-bent on destroying what most of us remember as a fair, friendly, and united country. It’s hard to know if we can return to that state of fairness and unity, it seems like an unattainable goal right now. But it is my wish that we do, and I am certain many good people of this beautiful country wish for that too.” I reckon if we can’t reunite, we’re stuffed.
What about this lot of losers
Here are MP’s that own their own homes in Wellington & still claimed accommodation costs & travel in the last quarter. Data is accurate to the best of my knowledge. NZFirst, Act, Greens & TPM either did not claim any costs or they have no MP’s that own property in Wellington.
Never forget
Happy anniversary Jacinda! Every day has just got better & better since you left! 🤣Tucker Carlson said it best! The appalling Prime Minister of New Zealand 🤣 the one with the big teeth, the worst totalitarian prime minister #NewZealand has ever had, hands down #nzpol pic.twitter.com/ZkyNAqFaaM
