Guns out Suns out – it’s The Nashy!
Just like I predicted – this fucking boofhead!
Nash dismissed from all ministerial portfolios
Napier MP and former Police Minister Stuart Nash has been dismissed from Cabinet, losing all of his ministerial portfolios.
It comes after Nash was found to have breached Cabinet rules again.
Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said he learned of the breach about 5pm today. He called a press conference at 7pm.
There he told reporters he had been made aware of an email Nash sent in March 2020 to two contacts regarding a commercial rent relief package that Cabinet had considered.
“In the email he sets out both his opposition to the decision Cabinet reached and the position that other Cabinet members took.
“This is a clear breach of collective responsibility and Cabinet confidentiality.”
…some will insinuate that this is corruption and suggests money for intel as if the Nashy was some grand chess master of dark art grift, but if you know Suns out Guns Out Nashy, you would quickly realise he’s too stupid for that and this is very likely to be him big noting rather than rot at the heart of the Government.
He’s really thick.
Just as I argued, Chippy needs to keep The Nashy on life support because if this fucking dickhead is DUMB enough to detail Cabinet decisions to donors, if he is as thick as two planks to go on ZB and boast about attempting to interfere with the Police over judicial issues – if he is this fucking stupid – just imagine the shit he’s told his Forestry mates?
It will all come out during the slash inquiry and Chippy has to keep The Nashy on until that happens AND THEN cast the Nashy out of the Party because my guess is the slash rage will go up after the inquiry, not come down.
Breaching Cabinet confidence to provide insight for donors is so outrageous but the worst case scenario for Labour would be pushing the Nashy out too soon and into the Bosom of NZ First.
Winston loves The Nashy and I’m sure wants to hand NZ First Leadership to Stuart rather than his current crocodile of Shane Jones. If The Nashy stood for NZ First he’d win and provide Winston with an electorate seat so would get sub 5% political representation.
The Nashy has always seen himself as a leader and even got entangled in the plotting of one.
We will know if the Nashy is jumping to NZ First if…
- He leaks his explanation and argues his innocence.
- Claims he was just helping out mates, and he’s only guilty of being a good mate.
- Goes fish spearing.
- Goes full blown culture wars
Thank Christ the electorate are still reeling from the violence our activists caused at the Posie Parker fiasco to notice this.
We might need to get the Wokies to beat up some school children who painted a rainbow wrong if the Nashy keeps fucking up just to keep him out of the headlines.

Say’s a lot about Mike Hosking’s choice of character…”I quite like Nashy”
NSC
“Choice of character”? What does that mean? You mean Hosking chose a character on his keyboard while typing? Squeaky, everyone likes Nashy. I quite like Nashy. He’s very likeable. Just like Chippie. He’s also very likeable. So by your comment, if you were to dig up and then analyse everything Chippie has done (eg. the two northland women) and achieved or not as a minister (eg. education, Te Pukenga) before he became PM, and now that he is PM (eg. not firing Davidson)…then does that suddenly make him “not likeable”? Careful what you say or we’ll start making a long list for Chippie.
WTF has it got to do with Chippie?
Oh you made it about Chippie.
You do write very boring comments.
And you juat want ro make it about Hosking. It has to do with you commenting on Hosking liking Nashy. So what, the guy is likeable. And how exactly does it say a lot about Hosking, and what exactly does ‘choice of character’ mean? Now you know why National’s 3Rs education policy is so damn good. It’ll fix your choice of words.
You don’t know what ‘character’ means? As one who enjoys your posts, I find that quite, quite astonishing.
To be fair to Nash, with such appalling standards he has set, he’d be a much better fit for the National party, in fact a perfect fit.
Too honest for Labour.
Why? There are plenty of people who seem to like Nash. It doesn’t mean they lack moral strength.
Just because Nash is grossly incompetent, doesn’t make him an unlikeable person.
Yep Mike Hosking is also grossly incompetent and racist, just ask John Tamahere.
Top broadcaster in NZ history.
Go Mike.
Wow that’s the biggest straw clutch in history.
I quite like Nashy.
I can’t stand the little c…
Good riddance to him.
He might have got hit by a motorbike.
Hollyhock of the Valley – Nice…that allows you get away with bad decision making according to the PM
Maybe he should drop a few ‘C bombs’ to get off and show how much he supports woman ….
Labeen couldn’t stop homelessness or crime but can supply ‘cun=ts’ to anybody that self ID’s for one.
oosh, SaveNZ
Also says more about Hipkins keeping him on after 3 indescresitions, but dont worry about the facts.
Try harder next time too not sound like a passive aggressive moron… This latest attempt is rather weak at best… You sound like a loyal tory, which equates to being a traitor to your country.. Try to prove me wrong.. Go on, I dare ya… Say something that isn’t half arsed…
Martyn – So Stuart Nash was working out his next move back into the Forestry Industry via email. The email was regarding Forestry slash
This looks bad and puts NZ in very bad light. Least corrupt country etc
You have to wonder who has known about this and for how long, and thought it appropriate to drop it into the mix at this time.
Yes and Nash got what he deserved. Now the question remains who leaked the email and why?
A Labour person leaked it now to prevent it coming out closer to the election.
I quite like Nashy.
Who was it Bob come clean? A Labour person doesn’t cut it, sounds like National party dirty politics…again.
And yes you have a history of liking younger men and boys Bob, we all know too well your Dulwich school exploits…eeewww.
That could get you locked up under hate speech and defamation laws.
Happily married man Bert with 2 very special children.
We have to live with the ‘corruption’ link regardless of where it puts us on some international ranking list.
If this is as bad it gets I’ll take it. Hell, in the US a President subverting the use of NZ$630 million wasn’t seen as corruption.
45 has it coming, he’s swamped in law suits, more pending. He has no friends and his prized daughter sold him out to save herself. Rest assured, he’s in the process of being punished, severely enough. It takes quite a bit to roast an ex POTUS. It’s coming. We all get what we deserve, in time.
Well actually there have been lots of indiscretions by Ministers MPS past a present. The holy god Luxon just PROMOTED one in his cabinet, her initials JC ring a bell. Maybe in his rush to keep her quiet he mistook the wrong JC.
Sad, Labour has lost one of it’s most competent MPs. But at least he made New Zealand safe from gun violence with his highly successful gun buyback. We can all sleep soundly, safe in the knowledge that gang members probably won’t shoot up our homes by mistake.
Oh dear…

Imagine the “service” he can do for his constituents and the country by leaking the slash stuff. How woke is this bloke?
Martyn may well be right. Will Nash do what he thinks is right for his “mates” or what is required by the Labour Party.
The big question is ,what is required by the Labour Party?
They should start with an internal investigation . That bar was set by the National party with Luxon and Uffindell, there all “fixed “.
Fuck you’re a broken record.
One was a 16 year school kid, engaged in a bit of bullying 20 years. The other was a very highly paid, senior minister of the crown, breaking every rule in the book, over and over again. And when the truth comes out with his Forestry “Mates” my prediction is the current misdemeanours will pale in comparison.
That Nash is not found out to have spoken out of turn in 2017, 2018 or 2019 as he did in 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023.
Politician who received money from donors gives them privileged political information = corruption.
There are national security implications to a senior MP leaking info to donors.
This needs a full investigation of correspondence of all MPs especially to donors and especially Nash.
How about the GCSB they turned on the public for braiding kids hair investigates our lawmakers for actual corruption.
Yes KCCO they should especially this lot…

“Collins sought official briefing before private dinner.”
Collins is still in parliament.
I’d like them to investigate ALL of them bert.
I would say this is the tip of the iceberg – he got caught and is being made an example of but in reality, maybe its common for ministers to be slipping info to lobbyists. There is no regulations for lobbying so the wild west could have become exposed and an example had to be set to give the public the perception it was a one off incident.
Much like the Jamie Lee Ross saga of donation splitting, who is to know thats also not common practice too.
I would say that saying ‘this is the tip of the iceberg’ is like saying “where there’s smoke there’s fire” as a way of implying, suggesting and impugning. Totally made up. Festering scummy David Farrar and Cameron Slater tactics.
Except he’s probably not wrong. If I’m donating $50k to a politician, I will be expecting something, even if it is “just a friendly chat over dinner” where I may raise some of my concerns. All politicians, of every color, knows this when they accept the big donations, but will generally make sure they don’t leave a paper trail that could be revealed by an OIA. If you ghost your patron, you are unlikely to see more money and that bites at election time, when money buys votes.
Having said that, Nash is an idiot who is happy to mouth off about the things he’s done & doesn’t seem to realize that “no comment” is sometimes the wisest thing to say.
It speaks volumes that Seymour is partially defending Nash by saying there is nothing malicious in this (as he takes in donations) Same goes for Winston. There’s outrage from National, and Hipkins says this is clear cut, but Winston would have no issue with taking Nash into the fold?
Seymour is mostly saying Nash is a hapless idiot and didn’t realise what he was doing was wrong, not exactly a glowing defence, but probably not wrong either.
if he can’t keep quite about cabinet then he’s a liability I’m not gonna say corrupt but tipping the wink to your mates sure looks like it…those kinda revalations should wait to your autobiography
I agree gagarin but I expect Collins book first..
“Collins Comes Clean on Corruption” by Judith Collins and David Wong Tung
I was listening to Duncan Garner briefly this morning. He has a long history with Nash of politics obviously.
Interestingly, he said Helen Clarke wouldn’t let him near cabinet. Along the same lines as Garg, she didn’t trust him, couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
My amateur physc assessment: he’s got self confidence issues. Needs to blow his own horn, talk himself up constantly, everyone’s his mate etc.
The government must have been too busy focusing on TikTok dance moves than the actual security threat from within their own sanctum. Someone has been sitting on this insider trading information for three years, the public has the right to know who knew what when and if there have been other security breaches, or conflicts of interest between our agencies and business.
The minister for environmental protection of his logging mates, the minister of smashing homeless ‘freedom campers’ in vans, the minister of lock em up and throw away the key, he can crash and burn for all I care.
He was also the minister for transferring firearms to the black/grey markets. 100000+ disappeared.
Yes serialised in the Sunday Telegraph.
Further evidence that this is an inside job? Coster quoted in Stuff today saying the Nashie was always on the phone to him. Try and size that one up for it being a right wing plot?
So what’s the Quid pro Quo for Coster then? The big Rainbow Tick from the Govt and the IPCC? over the KJK (PP) debacle?
I keep vacillating between what the rationale for this appearing was and it can only be:
1. Powerful older white men in NZ were so appalled by the Rotunda and Marama, that it was leaked to put the boot in – Definitely feasible.
2. Next – Mart, I think you underestimate the anger over what happened on the weekend.
The Nashie issue appears much more egregious politically but the state using police for political control is an effront to most NZers.
Woman all over NZ woke up and started hammering the govt and the media over and over, then men saw older women being beaten and had to listen to Davidsons unabashed prejudice and then watched Hipkins and Luxo shrug and then Chippie realised that he had crossed one of NZ’s taboos and had unleashed a visceral monster.
Sure we care about corruption but frankly even Labour supporters these days know that their governnment is corrupt. What NZers wont tolerate is a government who weaponises the police and a govt that shrugs when women and the elderly are beaten for having a different point of view.
OK, I have to say forget all I just said although I do think it was very plausible.
The Horse’s Mouth, AKA Sean Plunkett, says he knows who leaked the email and that it was someone in that Blue party with the vacillating leader.
Yeh I heard that too. I also heard it came to light as part of an OIA request.
It doesn’t make sense to me; for the Nats to drop it into the public arena now, when they are in the midst of crucifying Marama, and letting Chippie saw off his own nose defending her.
Surely you’d play that game all week?
And now we find out Jacindas office knew and did nothing.
How very .. corrupt.
“…his Forestry mates?…” What fucking forestry mates? You mean Fletcher Holdings who grow pines for the climate an’ that then exports the chups to China? For $billions? Them ones?
But Fletcher Holdings have been around for generations, dragging on AO/NZ’s now withered old tit.
Trans political party hyper-corruption is as Kiwi-as, as pav and savs.
Sat it aint so, CB? Off mushy hunting. Is there an easier way? 😉
not a good look, carry on
” Sad, Labour has lost one of it’s most competent MPs ” ( Stuart Nash )
If that is the standard of competency then its far worse than we thought !!!!!!!
” And now we find out Jacinda’s office knew and did nothing. ”
What a delicious little morsel to leave for her replacement.
Ardern…I will lead the most transparent government ever !
Well at least they loved her overseas.
” …some will insinuate that this is corruption and suggests money for intel as if the Nashy was some grand chess master of dark art grift, but if you know Suns out Guns Out Nashy, you would quickly realise he’s too stupid for that and this is very likely to be him big noting rather than rot at the heart of the Government.”
He’s really thick.
No Bomber this is good old Kiwi corruption and I don’t buy into the argument that he is ” thick ”
He is Arrogant and used his position to assist his donors while keeping it all under the radar.
This man was appointed a minister of the crown and that carries responsibilities aside from the salary , pension plan , free air travel and taxi’s and other benefits.
Stuart Nash’s arrogance and infallibility exposed how fraudulent this man is and the cover up of his indiscretions by the former transparent PM and her government.
” …some will insinuate that this is corruption and suggests money for intel ”
Then WHY provide cabinet discussion’s and decisions to this group of people if there was no benefit to them ????
Bomber go back and look at this without any personal bias.
Bomer, that tv show now defunced, the back whatever,saying to SAD SACK nASH, HOUSING SHORTAGE rent cost,yes you should see the cost of my mortgage,what about the mortgage rent on your apartment block on the shore front, past on family heritage.
Truth, paid. ITS JUST NOW RENT POCKET MONEY FOR US.
Prefect, shaky in the house today.
Hi goneby100. Hope you’re doing OK 🙂
Aloha Luxon is promising to increase NZ defense spending from 1.5% to 2% of GDP. Build more houses. Pay down Govt debt faster. And of course his usual tax cuts bribe. But he hasn’t even cared to mention how he will be funding the cyclone response. The money has to come from somewhere.
What is he going to pull out if his…errr…hat, to pay the piper. Will he follow the footsteps of Bill Fiscally Neutral English, by raising GST, and raising ACC levies, and raising car rego, and raising prescription charges, and stopping payments to the Cullen super fund, and cutting gold card services? Will he turn his back on climate change, and re-invigorate the fossil fuel industry? You know he wants to…
He’s promising to have your cake and eat it too, but he’s the one who’ll be doing all the eating, with the $17K tax cut he’s actually promising himself, and re-instating tax deductibility on his 7 investment houses he’s also promising to himself. He’s the next iteration from Nationals conveyer belt of Wealthy Pale Stale Male wannabe leaders, super charitable with a myriad of promises, that are not worth the paper they are written on. As if we can’t see through all this. Aloha Luxon, the mathematically challenged magician statistician of the opposition, who lets face it, is really just keeping the seat warm for Nicola.
Someone get him some Rogaine asap, before Judith detects the scent of blood in the water
