I really like Debbie Ngarewa-Packer.
I think she is an amazing co-leader and a politician whose heart is truly with the people.
Her leadership during the trauma of the Māori Party schism has been essential and it has been heartbreaking the way she was met with plotting by Doc, Eru and Mariameno rather than loyalty.
Maybe it was her being at Ratana, maybe it is the optimism of the new year, but her comments that she would work with something as poisonous as NZF is a capitulation, not a solution…
TPM co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer: ‘I could work with Winston and NZ First’
…the wags will say, ‘how come you can work with NZF but can’t with your own two former MPs’?
NZ First are no longer a political party, they are a conspiracy theorist hate cult with hard right unhinged supporters lost in public struggle sessions against the woke, climate change and vaccines.
Any Government NZFirst are part of for the Left would not make it a Left wing Government at all, it would be a garbage salad of Boomer Culture War fantasies masquerading as social policy.
Winston would act as a handbrake for the full 3 years before flipping back to the Right in 2029 in a perpetual power cycle of mediocrity, mendacity and ignorance.
I appreciate Debbie’s optimism, but when Winston becomes the answer, the question is, ‘how can climate denial corruption win the next election.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Values and principles?
Power at any cost?
She’ll be lucky if she and the other fulla are still leaders come election time.
Naked ambition and holding on to power is not going to win them any votes.
It’s time for her, JT and his family to ride off into the sunset and let others take the reins.
Has Debbie become just another potatoe Maori .Brown outside white inside ? What the hell did she have for xmas dinner ?way to much greens by the look of it .Maybe like Luxon she will sell her sole to be in government .
