MEDIAWATCH: Q+A Review: Winston threatens Jack Tame live on TV

Jack was brilliant!

A tale of two halves.

Winston is a shocker. The perfect coalition partner for Luxon and Seymour…. lol

Jack Tame is the most effective voice for dismantling a tyrant’s bulldust.

Jack wants a Green /National coalition. But members decide… sorry decide

Still just another Muldoonist clone…

Jack also did some interesting questioning to James Shaw too…

“What the hell has happened to this country?”

This country has been under systematic, well-funded right-wing attack since the Labour-led government produced the best Covid response in the Western world. That response did one unforgiveable thing: for a brief period of time it elevated the public good to the highest priority, more important than private profit. It showed the power of state to intervene for the benefit of the many. The right knew perfectly well that this sort of upending of the ‘proper’ order of things was a dangerous contagion that had to be ripped out and reversed. And they seem likely to succeed unless every person from the centre and left gets out to vote against National, ACT and the opportunist Peters.

Martyn – TVNZ is living on borrowed time.

No. I think Jack Tame used the wrong tactics. The policies that NZ 1st advocates will always depend on whether a government can afford them, and that will depend to some extent on other what things other members of a coalition wish to spend money on. It normally would be a matter of priorities. Certainly ask him about NZ 1st’s wish list, and perhaps ask why he thinks the items on it are desirable, but I think it may also have been useful to ask what policies of his other coalition partners he would put the kybosh on, and why. I don’t think the mess that we had was good interviewing: both parties seemed to get more and more antagonistic towards each otheras the interview progressed, and I don’t think that was all Winston’s fault.

9 people watched and 6 agree with you Martyn. Hooray.

I do not wish it on him but is Winston showing the first signs of dementia?
Luxon surely, now, must think twice about going into coalition with Winston. If he does chaos is imminent.
A sad day for for politics and a ‘would-be-and-once-was politician’.

Winston was toast and he knew it which is why he started attacking the interviewer who was just doing his job ‘Journalism’. Winstons knew about the ‘He Pua Pua’ report but has his trolls online making claims that the report was hidden from him.

Then to add insult to injury he ended with his race-baiting line that he as a Maori has been here for 1000s of years and why he should be told something, something by a white guy?????? I mean this is the guy that recently said Maori aren’t indigenous???

Fuck this clown his race baiting BS politics is ova time to retire oldman your time has come like yesterday.

Winston is such a moron, he goes in as Jack says with bluster and bulldust. Shame they will make it I think.

At least this time, Winston remembered Jack’s name, and didn’t call him James or Jacob or something.
And whatever you think of Winston, he didn’t do too badly for a 78 year old, with many others his age already living in a rest home. I don’t know if Jack got through all his questions, but one important one would have been, under what circumstances would Winston agree to allowing foreign speculators back into the NZ property market?
I wonder what Luxon, who was bound to have tuned in, will be thinking about the guy he may have to put up with for 3 years. His immediate thought may have been, that James Shaw who was on next, sounded very clear headed and precise by comparison, and Luxon maybe thinking that James Shaw is looking more handsome every day, so handsome that he wouldn’t look out of place wearing blue.
And since it would be rude for James to not accept someones call, then maybe come Oct 14, Luxon will consider giving James a courtesy phone call, just to catch up, and shoot the breeze, and who knows what else might be in the conversation.
I would much rather deal with James Shaw, and make him environment minister, than have to go to the beehive everyday and put up with the constant migraine of Winston and Seymour! In running an airline parlance, those two would be like a plane crash, involving a cargo or uranium and a cargo of bioweapons. And from James Shaw’s point of view, if ever there was a time for the Greens to consider working closer with National, then keeping ACT and NZFirst from sabotaging the current climate change initiates, would be that time.
Come Oct 14, politics makes strange bed fellows, and many a dead rat could get swallowed.
But if Luxon does have to deal with Winston, then the lesson learnt from the past, is that he must put all the initiatives he wants to do, into the coalition agreement at the very start. Otherwise Winston will go back to his habit of shooting down new legislation not covered by the coalition agreement, at the eleventh hour, like he’s done previously. Which just wastes the time and effort getting the new initiatives prepared, up to that point.

Winston Peters is the most pathetic Politician NZ has ever had! Can anyone name one thing that this Man has done for NZ or anything that he’s accomplished for all the decades he’s been in Parliament apart from parading around in $2000 pinstripe suits & pigging out at Bellamy’s Restaurant? He’s done NOTHING for NZ & will continue to do not one damn thing if he gets back in, he’s the biggest underachiever in Govt, but he is just a shit stirrer & disruptive influencer! The Man’s a charlatan & a joke! Jack Tame was asking him legitimate questions that required answers & all this idiot could do was act in his usual way, hostile, argumentative, confrontational & condescending behaviour with nonsensical gobbledygook answers to confuse & confound the TV audiences who are sick to death of his bullshit, I thought he would’ve got the hint the last time he got humiliated & booted out but obviously the Man’s stupid & imbecilic & clearly not as clever as he tries to make everyone believe he is? He couldn’t give Jack any answers concerning his own Policies, all he ever does is deflect, blame & argue about nonsense, this guy is a pathetic & he claims to be a Lawyer, imagine him representing a Client & trying to build a legal case, he’d get thrown out of any Courthouse for Timewasting & contempt of Court! Hopeless old fool, just go away & retire disgracefully, somewhere, anywhere!

Was wondering if Tame was ready for a swinging right hook from Winston. Tame would’ve had to snap his head back to avoid it – like a Mitchell Starc bouncer that comes back into you off the wicket. An opportunity missed for epic television. And for Winston, that’s probably a 3% lift in the polls he’s just missed out on by not losing his rag totally – such is the simmering, barely-suppressed violence in our political culture now.

Winston not to be harassed by smirky Tame.

I don’t like Winston but thought Jack was an arrogant ass. A disgraceful performance from a totally biased interviewer. I would have liked to hear Peter’s answers to questions but Tame wouldn’t let him

The nats and act eh! if act where a stage act it would be like a Carry on movie, however, both are taking pages out of Winston!s book belligerence and bellicose, as was their show on Saturday, on tv three. All three segments, opposition all bullied and cajoled, over spoke to the point of basic, if we rule this will be our dominating standard and as for that square head Mitchell, if he does become the minister of police, we will be back to the eighties with more serious street disruption that Aotearoa/New Zealand has ever seen since the fifties.

Winston Peters is a fucking crook. He was launched from roger douglas’s coven of old crony warlocks and witches enabling the multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires who were either selling or planning in selling or other wise exploiting our taxes paid for stuff and things. The truth of that matter is the fucker should be in prison. If I ever meet him and he’s rude to me I’ll show him a new way to wear his fag wrinkles. The fact that the useless old bastard’s still in a position of influence shows just how entrenched he and his cooked Old Boy mates are in our agrarian primary industry politics and economy they still are. What you recon Don Brash? You were having tea with peters in that photograph back in the day? What was that about then? What were you talking about ? What were you planning?

At least Winston knows what a woman is….Wonder what Jack’s answer would be , as if we didn’t know….

NZ Reporter’s and Interviewer’s are crap childish little moron’s who do not understand the big picture, no wonder this cuntry is in the shit.

” What the hell has happened to this country? ”

Bomber you know what has happened.

And after October 14 it will continue but just a bit more harsher for all those not included in the ” fresh start back on track ” …….the bottom feeders.

Unfortunately Jack missed some important questions.

Why is NZ First silent on immigration this election? Particularly with it being at 100,000 net record numbers? Why is it not campaigning on keeping the foreign buyer ban in place and making it a bottom line with any coalition deal?

These were once key areas for NZ First, yet there is nothing in the NZ First 2023 policies about them. Why?

The fact donations to NZ First from the big end of town are ramping up including from property developers seems quite telling.

The big end of town would want the high level of easy access to low wage immigration to continue unquestioned. The property developers in particular would want the changes to the foreign buyer ban.

Hence NZ First appears to be have purposely pivoted its efforts away from immigration and foreign buyers and towards more donor friendly areas like anti co governance and vaccine mandates.

In cricketing parlance…..Winston Peters caught public television, bowled reality.

EH! Shall we.

Best farm program, our four farms, our mental helth has our care knowing, our farms.

Care, breath. humanity. Socialist thought.

Too early in the morning for me to watch. Appreciate your summary, which shows our most professional politician’s now threadbare performance. Wish I’d seen it before I commented on Twitter.

But what I said there still seems relevant. Yeah, he’s a prick, but he has instincts, vile (whatever is needed to get into power) and good ( the old Welfare State conscience of his predecessor Muldoon). And the vile is mostly for the election, unlike the overseas ‘vile’. He conducts the bullshit right-wing tosh into his own ambiguous self.

So! Seymour is warning against him by calling a vote for ACT a vote for ‘stable, responsible’ govt. Not stable by his own words, not responsible by the climate reality. If it comes to it, from the polls, IF Peters’s list is mentally stable enough to not be lured away, he would be an anchor on the Right’s silliness. But I think the IF means that’s not an option worth voting for. Just thought myself out of the idea, in public.

Maiz ben zur, I forgot about the waka-jumping law. But I still think NZ First’s List of probable MPs needs close scrutiny to follow the possible strategy I mention, along with the intricacies of the law and how NZ First might operate it.

If Winston start’s his anti-Immigration Stance Stance National & ACT will not want to have anything to do with him, as their policies are all about bringing in Immigrants and Foreign Capital and basically rat-f**king the average New Zealander. A NACT First Coalition will be an interesting proposition.

Why won’t Winston go on Mike Hosking show?
Oh two bullies going toe to toe doesn’t make for good radio.

Are we sure that actually was an interview and not a seance to summon up the
spirit-sprite-spite~~~~~ of Muldoom?

Chad Tame

Look at me,look at me,Tame.
