What???
Let’s get this straight, Paula Bennett is such a coward, that she refused to appear on a TV panel with Chloe Swarbrick to debate cannabis reform?
So Paula’s bullshit arguments and negative attacks on cannabis reform are so meaningless and childish that she was too scared to get in the ring with another politician who is half her age?
When you are too much of a chicken to even engage and fight your corner, you are an embarrassment as an opposition MP.

For shame on Bennett, too frightened to even engage. She should immediately resign, I’d call her a baby but that’s being unfair to babies!
I’ve seen jellyfish with more spine.
This is pathetic of Bennett.
Paula ‘Benefit’ is just another retail politician isn’t’ she?
Shallow as a empty oil barrel and just as toxic to us as that full barrel is to the environment.
‘Benefit for her own self is her driver.’
Bennett and National don’t want Cannabis reform. They would rather the status quo of criminals and gangs controlling the Cannabis market.
National need as much crime as they can muster so they can come down hard on it. You need crime to be “tough on crime”.
So Bennett can bully and harass welfare beneficiaries who are amongst the most powerless people in society, but when it comes to a self confident, intelligent woman like Chloe Swarbrick, she turns tail and runs.
Ok, got it.
To be fair, Bennett doesn’t do intelligent.
Again, to be fair, Bennett talks and behaves like someone who might have use weed at a young age, oh wait…
… ‘ When you are too much of a chicken to even engage and fight your corner, you are an embarrassment as an opposition MP ‘….
Yes , and yet she wasn’t too ‘chicken’ to release the private details of two citizens to the general media when she was in office was she… or to justify her ‘motel solution’ to the homeless and family’s in need provided they were saddled with a debt they had no chance of ever repaying …
Paula Bennett is a vicious bitch in the same mould as Ruth Richardson and Jenny Shipley.
Worse, – she came from a working class background and as soon as she secured a political office with a political party that ( unfortunately ) was in power , she wasted no time at all in shitting all over working people, the sick , the elderly and the unemployed while in the social welfare portfolio.
Again, – she is a viscous bitch in the same league as Ruth Richardson and Jenny Shipley. Except less intelligent.
NB : Some folk would take exception to the word ‘bitch’ being used to describe an evil manipulating female of spiteful avarice. I do not and no longer care. Because the damage that these bitches do when in positions of power over others should take precedence over a simple descriptive term like calling someone a female dog. The above so named have well earned their monikers as being class A , prize bitches.
End of story.
you forgot to say she shit on her own people ‘Maori’ Wild Katipo
Oh yes, wasn’t pulla benefit a westie? She will surely know about Cannabis and living on the dole. A traitor to her own kind, now that she’s printing money. Please lord keep Simon and Pulla where they currently are, couldn’t be better for the col.
Anyone got a white chicken feather I can send Bennett??
Ok not really doing it
But the thought gives me warm fuzzies
Theres a karma about this
Every beneficiary Bennett ever stressed out will be thanking Swarbrick and praising her to the heavens
So I guess that Bennett at least has the sense to realise that she would get lacerated.
But in terms of furthering an open debate that informs the public her refusal does us all a disservice.
Watch this https://youtu.be/YBT8QPgEWgE – at 7:50, Chloe’s had enough and calls her out, impressive.
Chloe Swarbrick always has strong evidence based material to debate with, whereas Paula Bennett has SFA to support her argument(s). Because of this fact, Bennett knows full well Swarbrick will own her totally in any debate.
If Bennett’s Upper Harbour constituents have any sense, they will drop her fast come next election, for her refusal to represent them adequately and fully as their elected political representative, which is the job she is very well paid for.
Paula Bennett was only picked as deputy PM because National thought they’d coast to a 2017 election victory. She was the Maori, female with personality and rolling eyeballs to counterbalance with what Bill English represented. The pork and puha versus Bill’s spaghetti pizza. Why they kept her in that role post-election says a lot about National.
I never paid much attention to Chloe Swarbrick until this particular issue. I find her someone I could disagree with but still listen to. Because she seems to know what she is talking about.
Never got that feeling with Paula.
yes DX5 the fact national kept her in that role says how much they think of Maori = not much
Michelle I always thought that Key and Saint Bill English wanted Bennett as their 2IC’S – or whatever, was because both these very flawed fellows needed someone who it was easy to feel superior to. I don’t know if it had anything to do with her being Maori.
Key is smarmy vulgar little bloke who could struggle to relate to well bred people. Paula would suit him just fine for the reasons most of us would want neither of them at our family dinner table.
English is lucky not to be afflicted with Key’s vulgarity, but appears hopelessly out of touch with the nitty-gritty of the rawness of everyday life for so many of us, and too darned dopey to see Bennett, as she has been described here, a vicious bitch.
This has nothing to do with race, it’s the sort of person Bennett is. The sad thing is that the Bennetts used to be a highly respected Maori family; but Paula in no way honours the memory of her good and decent predecessors ; she tarnishes it because she, it seems, is not. The family skeleton out of the cupboard.
I think she actually announced the cost of her shoes to a Nat conference, and they all laughed and clapped to see her stateswomanship in action, and her neck giraffed an inch or two higher; Bennett makes her own hair stand on end, but that ain’t nothing compared to what else she’s done to others.
Are we surprised?
We are paying her to be a mean, nasty and arrogant politician who is good for nothing.
I feel quite ripped off.
I’ve been working for some time on cloning the human brain to a jellyfish, as the substrate is quit similar.
And here we are, Paula proving the reverse was achieved decades ago.
I think it was reasonable for Paula Bennett to not appear. When you’ve got nothing worthwhile to contribute why turn up?

coward is one word for her the other word starts with c… but people dont like this word
Cowardliness seems to be spreading amongst our unimmunised politicians. On Friday Carmel Sepuloni fled an interview with RNZ Lisa Owen because she didn’t want to discuss the beneficiary spying scandal. Really? Our politicians can now just scuttle away if they don’t like being held to account by the people paying for their lifestyle?
