Act leader accused of politicising Kiri Allan’s mental health struggles in urgent debate

Act leader David Seymour is being accused of politicising Kiri Allan’s mental health struggles after calling for the House to urgently debate the former Justice Minister’s resignation.

Seymour used the debate, granted by Speaker of the House Adrian Rurawhe, to both pay homage to Allan as a person but also to highlight other ministers that had resigned or been demoted, which forced Rurawhe to stop him for drifting too far from the debate’s topic – the resignation – because he was using his time to criticise the Government.

We hate each other so much now in New Zealand, that there is no mercy and only malice.

Qanon Sovereign Sheriffs, Incels, Anti-Co Governance Bigots, the Woke, ‘Pure Trans Joy Apologists’, feral anti vaxxers, Terfs, the Billionaire Class, Farmers, Labour, National, ACT, Property Speculators, Landlords, Exploited Migrant Workers, Renters, Beneficiaries, Māori Nationalists and the Professional Management Class – everyone hates everyone else who is not in their echo chamber tribe.

We are a boiling cauldron of resentment towards one another, the ignorant arrogant reactionary Right vs the unforgiving puritanical woke Left.

We are manipulated by social media hate algorithms and economic anxiety we can not navigate.

The manner in which so many have ripped Kiri Allen to pieces and shat all over her is merely a symptom of where we are now in our culture, that ACT took such glee last night in desecrating the political corpse of Kiri Allen was vomit inducing, when Winston is the voice of reason, you know shit has become unhinged…

…we have become a nation of cunts with none of the depth and none of the warmth.

Kiri fucked up and Kiri has paid the price for that, but so many on the Right have seized upon this as the opportunity to mutilate her character because that’s who we are now.

I despair at what a country of petty arseholes we have become while the planet melts and the Billionaire class laugh all the way to the bank.

It’s amazing the Political Right have such audacity to attack Kiri when they have staff in front of the courts for far, far, far worse!

  1. Sam the bed leg basher got an easy run, the report was kept well within the Natzo top brass house. Barbara the animal cruelty enabler harassed officials and slithered out too.

  2. Martyn do you think we have just become petty now? Not sure it was much of a journey. Wasn’t that long ago that we were, at least technically, making criminals out of homosexuality. In hindsight how f’ing unbelievably small minded and delusional was that. We have made some progress. There seems to be an awful lot of money to be made out of convincing everyone that we hate each other. I am not convinced that’s any more true now, of the majority of people, than it used to be.

  3. Seymour does not represent the people of NZ. His trashing of KA is on him, not the rest of us. And you forgot RE agents – we hate them too.

  4. I have no sympathy for her. She hasn’t apologised to the owner of the ute, shows how arrogant and out of touch she is. Also, name another job where you can crash a company car half-cut and then continue to draw three months salary. This woman achieved two thirds of fuck all as a minister in an equally useless cabinet. As before, zero sympathy.

    • I think you will find she will be back at work in parliament and working for her constituency, they are really grieving at the fact they will lose her.

    • I support this politician getting the help they need but obviously I don’t condone their behaviour

    • H: “I have no sympathy for her.”

      Neither do I. Sympathy suggests that one condones her actions, at least to some extent. I don’t: she behaved appallingly and inexcusably.

      But I still have compassion for her. As the saying goes: there but for the grace of God go the rest of us.

  5. Unfortunately there are still some people in this country who take delight in other people’s pain. I feel quite deeply that we, as a nation, ought to extend our support to Kiri at this time.

    • And pain is what we got when Act was last in government.
      Winston is right, Seymour is a coward, end of story. Perhaps an urgent debate into the relevance of the ACT party only there because it was gifted Epsom in a dirty deal. Paul Goldsmith is a Clayton’s MP.

  6. Honestly, the press gallery should be holding their heads in shame; seeing blood in the water with Keri’s relationship meltdown, they destroyed her because she… yelled at beaurocrats, once, a year ago, we think. No one in the press gallery, or frankly, out here in reality land, would pass this test. Really poor.

    • Exactly. This isn’t Helen Clark speeding to an event as PM; this is a confused, hurt, at times battered down politician who tried to hold it together for a long time, and unfortunately failed to do so in this instance

  7. Many of the comments above serve only to reinforce Martyn’s article, sadly.
    Question is: is there an answer? Not within our present ‘democratic’ system, it seems.
    Any candidate standing for election would do well to read Gareth Hughes article in the media today. They may have second thoughts.
    There’s a salutary truth in the millennial-old saying….’anyone without sin, let them cast the first stone’.
    But that doesn’t stop a gargantuan quarry-load of stones being thrown, but Parliament – and what it spawns – was always more like a playground.
    Time to grow up, girls and boys!

  8. So tired of the worried well blaming everything and escaping any censure by blaming mental health issues.

    Having a hard time is normal in life, not generally a mental health issue that is so serious it excuses unacceptable behaviour.

    Someone was saying they were overseas and this is what is in the overseas headlines about NZ as the FIFA World Cup puts NZ in the spotlight.

    A 24yo man on home detention with ankle bracelet, allowed to work after strangling his girlfriend, gets an illegal shotgun and kills 2 people at his place of work in the city by the FIFA World Cup venue.

    Two others climb up a monument and won’t come down until the police promise them a feed of KFC.

    The NZ justice minister is charged with resisting arrest and seems to be driving drunk and crashing while blaming mental issues.

    Not a good look, NZ!

    Overseas readers don’t even have to drive on our potholes or find that the law is changed so that the road legal speeding limit is so low it takes a day trip to get across town these days with all the cones, sink holes and slips to navigate. Now we have to look out for those in power having mental health episodes while driving, to boot!

    As for the public transport like trains, billions spent but companies are allowed to not deliver anything in NZ! Just say a Karakia and everything will be ok and the cheques for non performance will keep rolling in for NZ contractors and firms sitting on the pigs back! $100k a day for legal at the Supercity and that’s on top of the bloated amount of internal lawyers and staff the supercity is paying for. Most people will agree, council and government services seem to be getting worse, and projects taking longer the more they pay.

  9. Winston, the voice of reason. Totally agree. Leave Kiri alone.

    Her life has turned to shit and she is pushing 40 and has nothing much left in her life. She’s given her mea culpa so lets give her the space to get on and heal.

  11. It was the Resisting arrest that was the main issue.

    Drinking , yes we have all been there. Car crash is a stressful situation.

    I think she should not have been back at work. …so sorry Chippie, you should have been more firm.

  12. How many sock puppets are patting themselves on thier own backs in this blog sites comments!

    Bullshit in – bulshit out!

    This sites comments section has zero cred in a world full of white noise, loud useless minorities, and real time stupidity!

    To much dribble – not enough thinking here!

  13. Alan is another drunk useless politician with no cred.

    She fucked up more than once.
    Good riddance

    Go Seymour. Take no prisoners in this woke world full of fucktards justifying fukwits!…. because they are tainted with the same stupidity

  14. I haven’t seen much hatred directed at the white South African women who killed her children in Timaru. And my taxes will be paying for that expensive court case probably her medical treatment too. Someone has to take the blame for this being allowed to happen. In NZ people are quick to put the boot into Māori when they abuse or kill their kids but when it’s their own kind nah! there’s an outpouring of sympathy. Bloody hypocrites!
    Bloody racist!

  15. Did Kiri have too much on her plate? I wonder why it is now necessary for 6 MP’s to now take her portfolios? Another hard worker burned out.

  16. The biggest standout for me is when National MPs stuffed up…and they did many a time, if labour was asked by the Media what they thought they never put the boot in and always answered with ” it is a matter for them to deal with” whereas National and Act can’t wait to kick someone when they’re down…it’s disgusting, you have to ask if their objective is to actually try and tip someone over the edge. How is it the Media left Mueller alone when he had his mental health.struggles?

  17. Why are you pointing all this out Martyn? Those who can recognise the truth of the revelation are few, and the majority will despise you for pointing it out. There won’t be any votes for the left-leaning from the readers who one would hope would change their ways. They won’t. I have mentioned about the scapegoat style, written about post WW2 in 1948 – Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery.
    What is the story of The Lottery?
    The story describes a fictional small American community which observes an annual tradition known as “the lottery”, in which a member of the community is selected by chance and stoned to death to ensure a good harvest and purge the town of bad omens.

  19. We should and need to expect better of our elected public officials with MInisterial responsibilities. It’s not good enough to blame bad behavior on mental health.

  20. meh – she fucked up and is gone – move on. The over the top reaction to a human making a human mistake just because they are a peoples representative is pathetic. Governments come and go – this is another one – I expect you will all reverse your positions when the next one arrives. The left will become whinging and moaning sore losers and the right will become tread lightly defenders of their incumbents. Yawn. Feudalist party politics should be relegated to the dustbin of history and a form of independant meritocratic representation instituted. A small and efficient form of governance will not come from the Unionists or the Conservatives – the only answers lie on the edges. I have not voted for Labour or National since the introduction of MMP. I suggest everyone else does the same.
