Beat up over Jordan Rivers and Labour Party seems a bit silly
A popular social media creative and former Shortland St actor who works in the Labour Party leader’s office has fallen foul of the Speaker after a private post took aim at Finance Minister Nicola Willis and used edited official footage from Parliament.
Jordan Rivers, also known as Jordan Lafoa’i, has been working in a part-time capacity in the Labour leader’s office since January as a social media adviser to the party’s Māori caucus. He is employed by the Parliamentary Service.
Rivers has a popular social media presence with almost 200,000 followers on TikTok, 72,000 followers on Instagram and 38,000 followers on Facebook.
This all seems to be a bit mean to Jordan Rivers. He’s the new wave of social media Wellington Woke trying to erase the memory of the more extreme cancel culture purges of the past with quips and insights that the Wellington Wokies love.
Painting him up as some sort of social media guru seems to be a bit of reach by the NZ Herald, he did sweet fuck all to change the Tamaki Makaurau by-election result where Labour got crushed despite te Pati Māori leading a social media first campaign that totally outflanked Labour’s attempts.
Claiming 200,000 followers on TikTok is like holding up 20,000 followers on BlueSky, as in who gives a fuck?
Podcasts are where it’s at for the Left to reach the male voters they need to win the next election, social media frisson is a cultural venereal disease that is as empty as it is flakey.
Children like TikTok, Children don’t vote.

That’s because The NZ Herald is silly with lazy journalism! What else would you expect from a RW ‘tabloid-type’ newspaper? They are not at all interested in real news just their version of it. They have one viewpoint for their much loved Right while rubbishing the Left. “The NZ Herald explicitly claims to be independent and impartial and does not endorse any political party in its news coverage?!” Frankly I wouldn’t waste my time reading it. There is nothing truthful, just more support for this corrupt, lying, cheating CoC and its narrow-minded enablers!
Yes I told them to jamb it where the sun dont shine about 5 years ago .
You can guarantee one thing, it would not fall foul of Brownlee if it was someone within National! FACT.
Brownlee a fucken hypocrite the guy is pro Zionist never to be trusted especially dealing with facts
Brownstains is a fucking joke and another right wing biased speaker. Winston should have been chucked out 3 times and although it’s hard to say this, Brownstains had no stomach for it.
