WTAF This is a DISASTER! The real cost of this to kids education is horrific. Failure is spelt SEYMOUR. #nzpol

I’m shocked -not. A typical Seymour scheme. Cut quality and quantity, push more costs onto schools whose resources are already stretched, then claim it’s a great success against all evidence to the contrary #nzpol

This article highlights the continuing misogyny we have in this country. If you see someone you know making nasty comments, call them out. We as a community need to work together to change this culture. It starts by calling out people you know for being shitty. Especially cis het white men. #nzpol

Bayly probably resigned so he could avoid further details coming out, and knowing most of our press gallery they'll just be like "oh well it's over now and he's a white guy so whatever"

Meanwhile we have learnt every minute detail about a ex-MP woman of colour's offending, and unsubstantiated 'reoffending' including pictures of the non-event & wall to wall media attention.

I dont think Luxon sees any wrong doing here, he doesnt see why this had to happen, like the wellington flat rental he doesnt understand the political/social reasons of either incident He'd rehire this guy in a second And also Bayly is still an MP still earning $170k+ benefits a year on our ticket

Luxon in the headlights… He has no other jobs other than trying to keep his caucus together (failing) Being informed (fucking lol) Holding ministers to account (cough cough) Can the prime minister of nothing please follow the lyrics of the Eminem song he stole and “lose himself”? #nzpol

Time to start a poll on who will be the next minister to “resign” or get shoved. My guess is that the minister for absolutely fucking nothing will be next. #nzpol

Christopher Luxon has set the bar for ministerial conduct so low Ministers have to sack themselves. Andrew Bayly should’ve been gone months ago. After finding out about the latest allegation on Wednesday, the PM waited days for him to resign when he should’ve been sacked asap.

So if Andrew Bayly was in the private sector he would have been goneburger. But in this coalition government he has the privilege of abusing again and again. #nzpol

Wait the guy who called a hard working Kiwi factor worker and ex-military service man a "fucking loser" also lay hands on a staff member in "animated" conversations? Must be bad if the Uffindell "independent, secretive" report strategy won't be used here. #nzpol

Thank you to Green MP Julie Anne Genter for sharing such an important perspective, especially on behalf of those of us who feel we can’t ❤️ #nzpol @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social @julieannegenter.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/emilywri...

It's just hilarious that everything comes back to Luxon's poor leadership. A tight leader would've sacked Bayly for calling an employee at a vineyard visit a Loser and telling them to grab a bottle of wine at fuck off, that clearly shows Bayly will behave badly. Luxon let him ride and now 🤷‍♀️ #NZPol

National MP Andrew Bayly resigns over 'inappropriate' incident with a staff member which he minimises in a statement but he had to resign which means it was more egregious than he says. Imo, half of ACT MPs and NZF MOs should also be gone but Luxon’s own negotiating ineptness means he can’t insist.

This is the way through for anyone with integrity and power in the public service. Become ungovernable and keep the receipts. These corrupt pricks are not dictators and their power is as a representative so they don’t get to bully or treat others badly!! #nzpol

Almost every right wing NZ politician seems to be a bully in some way or another. I am glad he stepped down. Slightly more integrity than all the conflict of interest ministers, the gun lobbyist, the sealord person, big tobacco supporters, home owners decreasing brightline etc etc
