How wonderful for you.

Have managed to convince hubby it’s worth coming out with his camera vs my iPhone on a stand 😝. Even though we have cloud

Nods head - correct!

They absolutely must yet….. I am yet to see Luxon show any leadership skills in this kind of thing.

Yep.

Absolutely.

And there’s another big sigh.

There’s been quite a few today.

An amendment to this, it’s seems both Costner and Kura actually suspended their own values if they had them to begin with.

So the fallout is for those further down the chain.

This is in direct opposition of the recommendations from the Margaret Bazely commission of inquiry in 2007.

Under this government - it sure as heck won’t be someone who openly believes in the greater good of humanity and the knowledge that behaviours don’t come from a vacuum. Deep sigh.

Yep - haven’t read this specific article but after reading the RNZ and stuff articles I can see age old tropes here.
One mans well executed performance to gain status means others integrity has been used for his gain and their demise.

It’s a theme played out in organisations up and down the Motu.

Hierarchies by their definition aid and abet narcissistic sociopaths.

In reality it’s 💯 believable.

The bias and prejudice towards the complainant from police leadership is absolute de rigour.

His reputation was compromised and he is still actively helped upward by his colleagues because no one believes there could be truth to what the younger woman has said.

Not gonna happen. He’s too busy fawning over equally repugnant elites trying to be seen.

His previous demonstrations of not being able to read a room will serve him well in this situation.

So many of us have those 1980’s memories.

The grimness of this year from a work perspective and politically has led me to step back from social media. I’ve been trying to find joy in small ways, listen to audio books do puzzles etc.

Until today I’m back, I need to know I’m not alone.

And I am very sure we won’t hear a peep out of Luxon regarding the atrocity of what this means.

Old saying….. A fish rots from the top down.

Yup.

We have an appalling history in this regard - there is a deep connection between power and not requiring to be held accountable.

I recall the arrogance of young police men in the early 1980’s. In my naivety I dated two. It appears not much has changed.

Just said to my husband it’s as if nobody learned a thing after Clint Richard’s, Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum were front page news.

Feeling sick to my stomach.

tamatha paul is owed an apology by the media and most of her colleagues in parliament.

My thoughts exactly.

Appreciate the support 💜.

Tony Benn, who renounced his hereditary title so he could be an elected member of parliament.

Truth.

Agree.

This guy is the worst…. And worked closely with Luxon 🤮.

It all makes my skin crawl.

Suppose it were a woman MP who was caught on camera, maggoted and ranting at an event.

She'd be gearing up for a fortnight-long news cycle in which she'd be forced to admit having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, encouraged to divulge personal information, and made to apologise repeatedly.

Sadly not surprising as it demonstrates the party line and current government’s conservative agenda with its deep lack of humanity.

My heart has been breaking for so many the moment the last election was concluded.

So much commitment cannot be unseen or unnoticed regardless.

lol correct and delightfully precise.

Low wages and a high requirement to survive.

The current climate globally of power vs humanity has us all hunkering down.

Which in my view only highlights these women’s choices of commitment courage and bravery.

True leadership.
