Chippie finally makes up for the first day of Parliament by catching out David Seymour
Catching Seymour out was as much a redemption for Chippie as it was a repudiation to Seymour’s media preening.

This legislation is to appease alpha personalities who can not tolerate the idea of needing help in the painful end of their lives, but it will be used against the poorest and most vulnerable who are already so easily abused by the State.
I’m in the news this week. I have an ongoing case against the NZ Police in front of the Human Rights Review Tribunal regarding the Police breaching my privacy and my civil rights when Police gained access to my banking records minus a warrant.
The Project last night was juggling between the euthanasia debate and a cheated wife from Married At First Sight.
In the wake of this atrocity we have solidarity and a genuine desire to change, regulating social media would be a huge step forward together on that, using an ideological framework over what can and can’t be said by the individual would be a giant leap backwards.
Isn’t it incredible how left wing journalists, activists, Māori, environmentalists, Greenpeace, the Green Party, earthquake survivors and left wing bloggers all have to accept erosions of civil liberties in NZ, except for white supremacists who apparently can plot atrocities for years and the State doesn’t seem to want to annoy them.
NZ First will not be able to blow any of their dog whistles any longer and will be reliant on Shane Jones winning Northland to remain in Parliament as they currently tread water sub 5%.
Normally events can be eclipsed, or glossed over or forgotten, but this atrocity is unique to us in modern political history and it has stamped something deep into our national psyche and many are privately thankful Jacinda was here to lead us through what has been a test for who we think we are and who we want to be so I think the ramifications of this event will be felt deep into the 2020 election.
The beauty, strength, compassion, grace and dignity Jacinda & the vast, vast majority of New Zealanders have shown in the face of this horrific atrocity has made me prouder to be a Kiwi than any other single time in my life.
When someone says something inanely ignorant and hateful, (especially right after the nation is still reeling from the violence of a white supremacy atrocity), one would think that those with media platform wishing to at least pretend to look like they are attempting to project some basic empathy would not repeat or support the inanely ignorant and hateful thing.
One would have thought.
