David Farrar Talks Golriz Ghahraman and NZ Politics in 2024

[@bledback2life]

"I am stressed, therefore I steal designer clothes." How about just admitting this was opportunism and moral failure? Plenty who struggle with mental illness do not resort to felonies. This excuse is a disgrace.

Customary roits! ✊🏼

The amusing part is that if you're actually a green you're not going to even buy expensive designer wears.

[@margaretvanson3601]

The whole affair shows just how flaky, unprofessional and incompetent the Green Party is. It's not a stretch to assume that their Mps are birds of a feather.

[@adsdft585]

This old saying could be applied to ACT and NZ First together with Maori parties. As the four are likely to always be minor parties. In particular ACT and NZ First as they were formed by MPs that left the major parties.

[@margaretvanson3601]

BTW has anyone yet established the bone fides of James Shaw's Masters Degree from Bath, UK. He admitted that he doesn't have a BA from Victoria University despite saying so on his CV. Just how honest/trustworthy is the Green Party?

[@barryscott6222]

There has been a recent proposition that basically states that anyone advocating for a"Woke" agenda is actually a Narcissist. It is how they make themselves look good - by virtue signalling - and running down anyone else, of course.

I already have a low view of the police, but if there is no prosecution then my view of the police will go right down the toilet. Police need body cams.

Theft over $1000 used to be grand theft. Not shoplifting. Also treated much worse as its targeted at wealth rather than a need.

[@lydiascl]

Broken window policing should be enforced.. Unfortunately the last 6 years have allowed crime to surge in such a way that police are probably overwhelmed and are forced to prioritise.. 🤔

@@adsdft585 why is that relevant? Obviously there are people who can afford them and don’t stoop to stealing them. Just be happy about the GST such people pay.

[@cpnurseries]

Come on people.... Members of parliament usually earn between $160,000 and $180,000 a year..... How is an MP supposed to live on this? What was she supposed to do? And, on top of the low pay, she was a woman and a former refugee and she had mental health issues. These circumstances completely justify her actions. Vote Green if you agree!

[@Colin_Izer1111]

Golriz is the real victim here, any criticism directed at her is merely misogynistic hate coming from the usual susects....cis white men.

And a poorly paid disadvantaged lawyer needing to let off steam in retail therapy with green sustainability. I just tucked it under my prayer shawl and IRAN hoping i would get off Scottie's free !! Resignation is self confession of guilt.

Can you chat about NZ policy in the Red Sea? The policy seems to not be consistent with UN votes in the UN on Gaza?

[@jeremyashford2145]

It is never a good look to stand down or be stood down in the face of an allegation. In this case it's not even a real job. Why should a justice spokesperson not be someone who has experienced the justice system from the position of an accused? Due process for all.
