Look, it was bad enough that National allowed their alleged Chinese spy to organise Simon Bridges to meet the head of the Chinese secret police and then praise China afterwards, but to arrange for Simon Bridges to meet a Philippines politician who is an active Nazi sympathiser and promoter of extrajudicial killings without criticising the politician or publicly speak out against it is just outrageous…
…it’s a privilege to meet this guy…
…who says these things?
…this shows a jaw dropping lack of standards by the Leader of the Opposition!
Simon said he would hold the Philippines to account for their appalling human rights record, did it happen? Well, the official publication on the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs website said that they only discussed issues on people-to-people relations, trade, investment, agriculture, science, and defence.
So much for standing up for New Zealand’s values Simon!
Imagine if a Labour leader met a foreign politician who was a Nazi sympathiser and who supported extrajudicial state killings and that Labour leader didn’t denounce the politician. Every media outlet in NZ would demand the immediate resignation of that Labour Leader, and never let up.
Will the NZ media start holding Simon to that level of accountability?
You know they won’t.
The double standards applied to Labour vs National in this country are just astounding.
Yuck, do we really want people with these world views associated with our country?
Mark how come our governments are telling us Maori what to do then aye!
What is it about Simon Bridges? I mean if he isn’t sitting in a chair facing a Chinese leader or some guy in the Philippines he almost looks like he is being propped up for a stage show of say Puppet on a String?
Even the way he sits when meeting other so-called leaders looks so much like he isn’t comfortable but MUST appear interested and focused on someone who, for Bridges political objective(s), is only in the camera view for votes from say the Filipino community and another time from the Chinese community.
I doubt Bridges has even given a fart thought(excuse my crudeness here)of the times NZ employers have taken advantage of Filipino workers being paid less than the minimum wage even whilst he was a minister in the previous National government.
There are major problems in the Philippines and in China but why Simon Bridges MUST court these two countries that have a problem with human rights just is so bizarre.
Is reason for Bridges courting China, as an example is he hopes to bring NZ into say the China Control.? It is starting to look that way.
And so whilst Bridges sits at meeting looking more like a puppet the more we should know he isn’t Leader material. But then if that is the best National can have as their leader then may he long be their leader. He, like the rest of the NZ National Party, leaves a Hell of alot to be desired.
What is it about Simon Bridges???!!!!
He now comes across as a person who courts dictators and those who admire the NAZI’s.
And yet one of his MPs(who we may as well refer to as the Minister of Pies)has a go at our current government for not having a representative at the recent Holocaust event in Israel(a country that also breaches human rights when it comes to the Palestinians).
And in true mainstream NZ Media mis-information thanks to their masters in the NZ National party the media failed yet again to give the right, true and correct information.
Way to go National. You failed to condemn Israel for their human right breaches. You have failed to condemn China breaching the rights of those members of the Falun Gong. And you failed to condemn Israel for having the biggest number of nuclear weapons on its very soil even compared to the US.
May we ask the NZ National Party as to whom and where are paying you to remain silent on matters even whilst you were in government???!!!! Because your lack of a voice of concern truly echoes to us all where you really stand when all things considered.
By the way Simon Bridges. Where are those bridges National once promised for Northland????!!!!
Got held up by engineers reports of the cheap and defective Chinese steel used to build em. So those Nat party people who made the deals cut their losses and reneged on the deal.
