No choice for Greens but to back Tory Whanau

Wellington local election: Green Party endorses Tory Whanau for Mayoralty

• The Green Party has announced it is supporting Tory Whanau as its candidate for October’s Wellington City Council election.
• Whanau previously ran as an independent, but has now aligned herself more closely with the Greens in her bid for a second term.
• Other confirmed mayoral candidates include Ray Chung, Karl Tiefenbacher, Kelvin Hastie, Graham Bloxham, and Rob Goulden.

I don’t think the Greens had any option other than backing Tory for Mayor.

It’s part of the dire state of the talent pool on the Left, hell Labour still can’t even find a candidate!

Tory has shat on almost every value on the Left with her position on the Air Port and the manner in which the Wellington Unions were treated when they met her was just jaw dropping in its woke victim pandering.

Tory Whanau’s chief of staff is Nadine Walker.

She’s a former Green Party press secretary and partner of party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick.

In an insanely heated argument between Union Wellington representatives critical of Tory’s airport sale, Nadine dropped the greatest political quote of 2024 to truly help identify what top shelf woke wank truly looks like.

The Spinoff coverage is glorious of the exchange:

The two sides went back and forth but made no progress. Ninety minutes after the meeting began, the Unions Wellington crew stumbled out onto the Terrace bewildered. Rizos-Shaw was nearly in tears. An hour late for work, she texted her boss: “just got yelled at by the mayor, sorry!”

“It was a bad atmosphere,” says Jacob. “Tory has done a lot of yelling, accusing us of sabotaging her personally, having an attitude problem, refusing to come to the forum. It couldn’t have gone worse.” Two days out from the public forum – a crucial moment in the campaign – their confidence was shaken. 

…read this and weep…

Sixteen minutes later, Walker replied, “Tory is still going to decline going to this meeting, and I have to say, unfortunately, even with your commitment to a safe environment to discuss, I found this agenda item framed up in a way that is disconcerting.” Walker was referring to the agenda item described as “Pinning Councillors/Mayor down”. Rizos-Shaw was confused. “‘Pinning’ is merely community organizing slang for asking candidates yes or no questions,” she replied.

…here is the Nadine Walker quote that you have to read to believe…

“OK, thanks for clarifying,” said Walker. “I am used to Greens language/kaupapa, where metaphors that invoke violence are avoided, so perhaps that is why I was shocked to read that!”

…WOW!

Just. WOW!

“I am used to Greens language/kaupapa, where metaphors that invoke violence are avoided, so perhaps that is why I was shocked to read that!”

The only thing more passive-aggressive than that statement is slapping your own face during orgasm!

Tory’s Chief of Staff attempted to twist ‘pinning down the Mayor’ into some sexual assault safety issue and was triggered by the mere use of the word!

“I am used to Greens language/kaupapa, where metaphors that invoke violence are avoided”

I’m assuming the word ‘bussy’ isn’t in that kaupapa?

Way too much woke, not enough toke.

The Greens need a smoke.

The Greens supporting Tory is the inevitable outcome of identity politics uber Alles. Only the pure who have been anointed by the woke conclave are allowed leadership no matter how weak and meaningless that leadership is.

For the middle class woke with a first step on the property ladder, identity aesthetics trumps economic universalism.
