Not your smiling brown handmaiden

Does it hurt more if we’re centrist grand coalitionmaxxed in our abundance thinking?

Please please please make this better and give me “I’m a dad of daughters” or “I respect my wife/mum/sister” clapback. I’m begging you. Tell me how you’re a good man because you knew a woman once.

BIG ABUSER GASLIGHT ENERGY FROM A FATHER/OF TWO

@SonofOmahu If children are in the environment things will look pretty dire pretty quick for abusers. You’ve literally got the judiciary and police on the other side of your dumbass attention-seeking dog whistle tweet to normalise harrassment towards women. BIG abuser energy tbh.

@SonofOmahu Judges will also view these behaviours as violence that puts the victims at risk of injury and or death. That’s why protection orders exist. And trespassing notices. Not knowing the law is not a defence in court.

"The Waitangi Tribunal has heard of the violence directed at Māori women in public positions including online abuse, stalking and threats of physical violence." No actual violence then.

How is it leave this website for years and come back and the same bunch of loud mouth angry men have actually got dumber? And set the bar so low for a new crop of dumb loud mouths shouting free speech on the internet. The Emperors new clothes is a story you should have read.

Some of you have never seen a VADE or bothered to learn about regulatory and compliance frameworks and it FUCKING SHOWS. You can defund the police AND strengthen leg and regs to minimise harm you fucking numbnuts. It reduces reliance on cops dummies.

Why are people online literally so fucking surface and dumb with their hot takes. I’d think they were doing it on purpose if they weren’t actually habitually saying stupid shit constantly.

💯 Far easier to just stop being abusive and then we can have both. Also regulation is a pretty nifty tool rather than taking up police time. You can already go straight to district court and cut out the middle man in blue for things like HCDA (2015) if you report to Netsafe.

@JosephMooneyMP Leaning into your right wing loyal voter base online does not get you numbers. Your mahi might or might not speak for itself. Good luck!

@JosephMooneyMP Impressions and interactions are not a good metric for Twitter campaigning. The only thing that matters is the numbers and if you increase the party/candidate vote at the polling booth. You’re wasting hard earned donor money on bad social media advice.

Maybe a good example - I don’t have deficit thinking, and can walk and chew gum at the same time. (Or in modern terms tweet, chair a select committee that has 27 departments and agencies comprising a third of the government budget reporting to it (most committees have two or three agencies reporting to them), am a member of a second select committee, plus all of my electorate duties just to name some of my work). I also constantly advocate for my electorate and work on innovative solutions when those aren’t always obvious, and last week for example pulled the following off for my electorate with the support of my ministerial colleagues (culmination of years of work with many people): ☘️ Over $8 million for a new teaching block and 8 new classrooms at Māruawai College in Gore ☘️ Over $1.3 million for Great Ride cycle trails in Central Otago ☘️ $180 million of new health funding for Otago Central Lakes + a commitment for a future integrated care hospital in the region ☘️ $12.6 million for a commuter active trail cycling and walking bridge in Queenstown ☘️ $10.8 million flood protection for Gore/Mataura That was over $212 million of future-focused investment in the electorate for the benefit of the southern region by the New Zealand National Party-led government. It’s an electorate that contributes an enormous amount to New Zealand, and we really had to put the work in to show why those investments were worthwhile. Also had my members bill regarding Smith v Fonterra taken up as a government bill this week - kinda significant bit of work too :-) We are fixing the basics and building the future 🔥

You’re allowed to change the government if you want. I think there’s an election happening soon.

@Dane_Giraud @secondzeit Congrats. But that doesn’t impress me much (a Māori that’s done the same)

The irony of @secondzeit trying to defame me as anti-Maori is most of my work has been with and for Maori. I've always felt way more comfortable in this space and wanted to avoid tedious toffs like him!

@Chirald I don’t think scrabble would accept QI if you meant the show.

Where would we be playing scrabble without QI? (The word but probably also the show idk)

You can just say you support bullying in the workplace and online? It’s less typing. I agree about the money though. Why do they need PINK SHIRT DAY $$$ if they don’t even bully each other in the workplace. Waste of money possibly fraudulent if they don’t actually need it.

Why are you talking about Tory Whānau when your post is obviously just a criticism about Tamantha Paul. Do all elected wāhine Māori look the same to you? Or do you think we’re all a hive mind or clones of each other? Big negging gaslighting dudebro dating energy tbh

I like Tamantha Paul personally. I think she’s a sweet person one-on-one and seems up for challenging ideas and conversations despite undeserved abuse. Voters must view her tenure as successful as she appears to have never NOT been democratically elected. What’s your point?
