Metiria falls on her pen, not Mike Hosking’s sword
Thank God for that, Metiria is not falling on Mike Hosking’s or Patrick Gower’s sword and resigning, she has fallen on her pen and ruled herself out from a Ministerial role in the next Government.

His bitterness that despite all his stomping and screaming over Metiria amounted to the Greens going higher than they ever have before in the polls has created a Hosking even more bitter and venomous than usual.
The double standards of journalism on display here attacking Metiria for events 2 decades old when we have actual abuses of real political power sitting naked without any investigation by the Newshub says more about the kind of ethically bankrupt watchdogs running that news service than it does about Metiria.
Her courage for speaking up about how the purposely spiteful system forced her to cheat to feed her child 25 years ago has resonated with beneficiaries everywhere as the enormity of how cruel the MSD really is becomes public.
We have all waited for this report, that it’s been hidden is unbelievable. It doesn’t matter if Matthews left and wasn’t given a severance package, that is simply a by-product of the report, we all need to see it!
I don’t care if Jacinda has a child while being Prime Minister.
I care what she will do for the 41 000 homeless, the 305 000 kids in poverty, the 550 000 NZers enduring extreme hardship, the 1600 NZers who die from the cold each year, the 1500 unofficial deaths from suicide, the 10 000 in prison and the generations locked out of home ownership.
Allowing the NZ Government to spy on you for ‘terrorism’ purposes is one thing, allowing the fucking NSA to have that same power over all of us is an act of Treason!
Brownlee must have sat down and worked out how he could look dangerously paranoid and petty with all the grace of Donald Trump in just one gesture.

The lies and fear mongering that the right wing are trying to spin right now as the enormity of public support rushing towards Jacinda builds with astonishing speed is becoming ridiculous now.
Gutting one of NZs biggest suicide counselling lines at a time of spiking suicide to give the contract to Bill English’s wife isn’t just ‘bad optics’ it’s a lack of perspective that screams arrogance at such a frequency that it shatters the eyeballs in their sockets.
