I don’t think this dick knows how much of a dick he is being here, but I suspect social media are about to let him find out…
Jacinda Ardern has cancelled her wedding venue and the angry owner says the Prime Minister won’t pay a $5000 fee.
…the desperation for association to the biggest wedding of the year reeks throughout his bitter tantrum that his shitty food could compare to Peter Gordon’s is such a spectacle you can’t look away.
That the local provincial pub Titan thought he could compete at a function of this high standard and paint that as priggish shows a level of arrogance that can only be fostered in the deepest end of the Little NuZilind stagnant cultural stillbirth.
It’s the fucking Prime Minister’s wedding for fucks sakes you douche bag of a man! What ever she fucking wants for her wedding she fucking gets!
Who the fuck are you to insert your ego into this???
She saved the country from a pandemic, a volcanic eruption and guided us through our worst terror attack on record!
If she wants fucking Gordon Ramsey and Jamie fucking Oliver to cater you make it happen, not throw a tantrum and then run and tell the media.
It’s incredible, he’s managed to make Samantha Markle look gracious and charming.
I don’t think this is going to turn out the way he had hoped, and it’s magnificent to watch.
UPDATE: And here’s Slater peddling the story 4 days ago…
…why is the NZ Herald printing Slate hate gossip again?

Is this the Daily Blog or Jacinda Fan Club Site?
The latter. According to our correspondent Jacinda Ardern saved us from a volcanic eruption (missed that one), prevented the pandemic (slightly premature), guided ha through a horrific terrorist event (by playing dress ups and giving hugs). We owe her the world and our unfettered obedience.
Nice
Didn’t really think that comment through, did you… For starters you couldn’t even quote the article without changing the wording to make it more self serving, and then went on to make insulting assumptions as to what actually was done.. This says more about what you lack than anything useful… And if this confuses you, then I will make it simple.. Your diatribe lacks any realistic context, or accuracy… Whilst I’m not going to profess utter fandom of the current administration, I will point out that criticism needs to be relevant, and rational.. You(and all the other reactionary tories) fail on both counts there…
Huh? Is this for me, Ben, or yourself??
I don’t know Nathan. Are you a Tory?
Nope…left wing baby!
I grew up poor to.
Not much fun being poor
They don’t call em the 1% for nothing.
If you vote for Jacinda you are a tory, don’t try and fool yourself that you are not.
I voted for the Aotearoa Cannabis Party in 2020 — for 2 reasons
1. Protest vote
2. Agree with their prop Cannabis policy
Nah that’s you boy. That’s, all, you. 🙂
How long you been sitting on that Nathan?
Good comeback Bert
Slow news day. It’s got “poor me” written all over it. Fuck the venue owner and their ego. I wonder how many more cancellations their going to get? They did it to themselves. Ce sera
It’s not the first time the restaurateur has been in the news of perhaps all the wrong reasons.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3568092/Restaurateur-loses-final-legal-bid?fbclid=IwAR3WW2q888NXoe2nf4qA7__yit4MRxKz8DJeAfsOiTDgUzmOEYZqRsbKHiI
He does seem to have a track record of blaming someone else
So the guy has history, your post seems to be lost on the tribal Cam Slater fan club posters.
Nope…most Kiwis are not mindless drones – so, we point out stuff that the Government does not like, it keeps them honest
So yours is a general mindless drone on the government, ours is specific to the story.
Jacinda propaganda machine
It’s quite nice though don’t you think how the daily anti-Ardern propaganda machine churns relentlessly on with sneering and mindlessness. And those sites are augmented by largely a different side of the coin here with only the occasional attacks.
Prunella P loves you sometimes, Martyn Bradbury – with the exception of the headline this is excellent! The bumpkin should have been grateful for the reservation. i had heard from family that the kitchen conditions are not great. It is a beautiful place but obviously the owner knows little about efficient management. NZ’s tabloid media have picked this story up and danced gleefully with it. That won’t augur well for the future of this establishment.
Who released the information, the Business owner, or the PM Office?? This is a honest question…
The petty little Bush fellow wanted his 15 minutes of fame. He got his knickers in a twist because his Pub food is not up to par and the anti-Jacinda mediocre media granted his wish. Sadly not all publicity is actually ‘good’.
Why on earth should “ this bumpkin” be grateful for being cancelled ?
Why on earth was this considered newsworthy anyway? Was it because he uses Slater as his ‘PR consultant’??
if they booked and committed a cancelation fee is usually normal. Just sayin.
Sabine. Yep. Apparently it was first booked two years ago, and this man may not deserve to be being roasted by media, including people here witch-hunting.
And very true, some balance here is good.
Good point.
Most places would ask for a booking fee up front to cover cancellation costs. Other than that it will depend on the terms and conditions of hire. I read on stuff that they were offered $1200 but insisted on 5g. When questioned about the amount he stated that he could charge what he likes as cancellation fee, Its his decision how much. I got news for him,, its all bad… if its not in a contract its not happening. I would have told em to fk off too.
Read the stuff article. When he wasn’t able to be included in the catering (what an ego) he tried to charge them full catering prices per head anyway.
maybe he thought the tax payer was footing the cost?
The taxpayer is footing the bill partly -security, transport (security), accommodation (security)
Our first Prime Minister to bear a child and y’all just want to drag her wedding down.
The breaking the family unit just needs to be addressed. This is a celebration of what all girls should aspire – to find people that love them.
Any PR is good pr?
On the back of another PR stunt yesterday, the big vaxx-tri-a-thong.
Trying to garner support from the public for been hard done by, by a hard-working business owner is trying to screw her for $5k.
Good woke leading headline.
With her celebrity status, and the use of the Department of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment team must be burning the midnight oil with this shit.
I guess her middle-class housewives club will be out in force haranguing the poor, out of pocket business-owner for not being kind to their widdle princess and should be grateful to her for cancelling him!
Great reply Denny! Jacinda’s Professional Wine Mum Club – her greatest supporters — will be getting all worked up over this article.
Wedding not till March. Unlikely he is out of pocket. Nose out of joint.
So, NZ will be out of lockdown in March next year, just in time for Jacinda from announcements, wedding — great, I love how the 1% will be okay after all.
L0L.
Catering. Big pinga’s to miss out on.
And I bet Peter Gordon doesn’t come cheap.
$20k? Celeb prices!
It’ll depend on the contract that I guess will be ‘leaked’ to a news influencer shortly.
Fabulous stuff Denny.
Fabulous in the sense of from Walt Disney Fantasyland.
Your a funny fucker Denny!
How long have you been sitting on that Bert?
It would have been good for advertising purposes, especially if the bride wants something big and show-offy like so many girls dream of.
Doff me hat and gimme a good savoury mince or steak and cheese pie ! I’ll bet the bloke had none in stock. SHAME !!!
Wild K – What’s wrong with fish’n’chips ? Shouldn’t be that hard to find a fisher person.
A saveloy can be done up real nice too. In Asia they cut the tops, spear them on sticks then deep fry so that they emerge like pretty flowers. Pikelets with cream and jam and a fancy name can be cooked blind fold by every granny between here and there and not just on Sundays.
Gimme a mince pie !
Priceless again. Still laughing.
I couldn’t agree more with this post. Far too much reportage of whining attention seekers these days. Cheaply produced and entirely meritless “news”, or more correctly, clickbait.
So does this include Paula Bennett’s menopause too ? Does New Zealand know that Paula men o paused ?
Yes
You mean you didn’t read today’s news on Granny!
This has gone too far’: Outrage over Domino’s new surprise pizza topping
“Pizza lovers have always been divided over what you can put on a pizza.
Whether it’s pineapple, other fruits, greens or even spaghetti, an online war over what is appropriate always blows up.”
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/this-has-gone-too-far-is-the-surprise-new-dominos-pizza-topping-a-bridge-too-far/6PGJUZ7RS5X56R4BGWQJLSWVVI/
Yes, that was not sarcasm, it’s really NZ news from our ‘leading’ newspaper, not whoring themselves out to paid promotions obviously.
But now Domino’s in Australia has gone next level and added vegemite to the list of questionable pizza toppings.
The pizza outlet has created a limited-edition Cheesy Vegemite Pizza, and it’s had mixed reviews.”
Bill English started all this. He’s got a lot to answer for, that cisgenderist from Dipton.
Down to tough dealing. How much to cover your costs, preparations, time set aside, and to close the matter off along with your gossip?
Where is the privacy and confidentiality in all this. This is utter bullshit and should be treated with the contempt it deserves . All you complaining about the PM and her middle class housewives should realize this is actually dirty politics at its Worst . If you so called freedom fighters agree with these actions then you are no better than the woke dirty politics brigade. Then nothing is sacred not even a couples wedding plans. Personally i think they made a wise decision to cancel can you imagine this person keeping secrets.
Are you sure that the PM office did not release this information — for I don’t know, revenge?
Not their style. More like shit stirring from the other side
Are you sure?
Yip. It’s not their MO. Plus I don’t give a fat rats about it. It’s not even news.
agreed — so why was it put on the news?
cameron slater “reported” it first, then the herald.
so yes, obviously the PM’s office.
Correct you dont know. Who do you think wants revenge, the person losing the contract or the person looking for a venue that wants to supply the perfect weddings experience.
PM or not this Is a woman’s wedding surely she should be able to demand what she wants and if you can’t meet these demands then she can go somewhere else.
Imagine the promotion this place would receive but they seem more interested about short term gains than long term reputation and bookings. Dumb, should of let her cooks come in and whatever else she wanted.
Yeah Nah – Making demands mightn’t be the best way to go about things, it’s confrontational and can be ill-mannered. But if they were making demands, then it’s unsurprising if things did come unstuck after a couple of years of it !
Cool now maybe Robin can rebrand the bushmere arms back to being the Hika pub Bring back the leopard and lion brown on tap get rid of those organic gardens put the bar Leaners, pool tables and juke box back in and don’t forget the gear meat pies in the warmer!
..”Bring back the leopard and lion brown on tap and don’t forget the gear -meat pies in the warmer!”…
Now your talkin mate !
This story has oily Whale secretions all over it–yeeech!!
Yeah, his mental health is much better now that he’s back to his right wing diatribe. His followers should be so proud.
I have no idea what the policy of this company normally is. But if others have to pay for cancellations, then so should the PM. I don’t like the “rules for thee, but not for me” nonsense that is becoming increasingly common among the “elites”. If this dude is doing this out of pure saltiness then my opinion would change however, but Jacinda getting out of paying for a cancellation just because she is “Jacinda” is just as lame as Mike Hosking getting free meals at Sky City because he is “Mike Hosking”.
Did you read the sentence where he said he can charge any cancellation fee he wants? Go back and read it again.
“But if others have to pay for cancellations, then so should the PM. I don’t like the “rules for thee, but not for me.”
An interesting way of looking at things in a world where the ACT sort of people want things to be about individuals and tailored for them not about the whole group being treated as one.
Like employers having individual personalised contracts. Which means that individuals dealing with that venue negotiate their own specific deal. That’s not “rules for thee, but not for me,” surely, but “the rules for us.” Thee? Negotiate your own.
Dafuq!!! Gisborne wine district just wants random bitches.
I agree the dire state of NZ’s hospitality, where mediocre food and service and ego collide with individualism.
I’m sick of paying wage subsidies for these types of businesses and sadly the end can’t come soon enough for me after sampling some of the terrible levels of NZ service and food quality that have burgeoned under neoliberalism. Before, if you were bad at your business, you went bankrupt, now so many find various ways such as labour scams or extra fees, to keep going. Many tourism businesses are just a lifestyle for folks.
But saying that, if Jacinda’s team were not clear they didn’t want the catering part, then mucked them around for a while with dates etc, could be justified for a cancellation fee.
In NZ the customer is not always right, the business is, after all.
Bring back the THC!
beans on toast for all!
Not me. 🙂
Beans with no added sugar on sugar-free toasted bread for me, please.
Nope. Fish’n’chips, thanks. (Jesus multiplied loaves and fishes, not loaves and beans.)
And wine. Let’s go whanau we on.
Correct you dont know. Who do you think wants revenge, the person losing the contract or the person looking for a venue that wants to supply the perfect weddings experience.

Gosh and I though smashed avocados were ruining the country and first home buyers chances. LOL.
Meh. Like ‘Vaxxathon’ I’ll be avoiding the news on the day of the wedding therefore I couldn’t give a rats who is there, who is the chef and where it is.
It is a sad state of affairs when this is ‘the big story’ and is a poor reflection of our country and our media.
That said it will be a struggle to have it this year given we are likely to have restrictions and an explosion of covid cases.
Don’t be jellous. 🙂
I know how to make square jellies if that’s of any help. As far as I know I am the only person who knows how to make square jellies.
You’re on, old lady 😀
Don’t be too disappointed if you don’t get in invited.
Frank – Couldn’t make it anyway – I’m busy in the month of the March hares.
Maybe an interview with Oprah on the first world problems of celebrity politicians.
Lol! So true. Perhaps Megs can host it.
Raising children is hard enough with out being a Prime Minister. It’s just plain disrespect. Trust me it’s cool though. This love affair got everyone twisted because they’re inconsistent. They don’t care about anything, except themselves.
There will be no red weddings.
Sorry to say Martyn but your little tanty will backfire. Just cause you’re some glitter celeb PM doesn’t mean you or your ‘minders’ can fuck people around nilly willy. Best Jacinda pays the 5 grand now.
Didn’t see anywhere that he had a contract stating 5g cancellation fee, did you? With this level whinging if he had one he would have had it included in photos on the article. He picked the 5g out of the air because he was pissed off, not to re-coop costs. If it went to small claims court he would end up paying costs. He should have snapped up the $1200 and shut up. Now, if it was me, i’d give him nothing.
Wow. Not only does Jacinda have to fight corona, she got to fight online nobodies as well.
She is not fighting corona for us, she is fighting it for herself. She has more than proven that she does not care about the people, just look at child poverty.
I hope you get everything you’re fighting for.
Hard right online no bodies to boot. Can’t see our P.M. too worried about these types, they are well in the minority.
It isn’t the first time a chef’s thrown a hissy fit. But how it keeps on giving!
It still gets lost on the right wing lunatics and anti Jacinda brigade, you only need read The Kraut’s little tasty as evidence.
Chefs used to be our number 1 ‘skilled worker’ category thus a plethora of poor food, low wages and hissy fits if they don’t get their own way, probably now overtaken by crims and 501’s as NZ favourite woke lobbying cause to get the social bonds and charity donations flying out the door.
Perhaps a few who are unhappy with the status quo could consider selling up and moving offshore? That would have the dual benefits of increasing housing stock and the average IQ of the nation.
