Free Speech Champions ACT become easily triggered C word snowflakes to eclipse their cruel war on working women
Oh the Pearl clutching over the use of the C word…
Minister says she used C-word in Parliament to denounce ‘misogyny’
Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden says she went into Parliament planning to use the C-word, so she could make an impact statement denouncing “misogyny”.
She said it was wrong of Labour to ask a question about the Sunday Star-Times opinion column. When she saw their plan she said she checked with Parliament’s Clerk to see if her using the c word would be a breach of Standing Orders. She said she was advised she could quote the word, which was printed as “c…” in the Star-Times article.
“When someone brings a misogynistic article into the chamber and into our Parliament, I thought it was that I had a right of reply. That is why I decided to stand up for myself and stand up for my colleagues,” she said.
The Speaker, Gerry Brownlee, originally tried cutting short her response.
Van Velden saw that as an infringement of free expression in the Parliament.
She said she wanted to send a message that using that language to target women was never appropriate.
Van Velden said there had been a decline in the standard of debate about her amendment to the Equal Pay Act.
“It’s very disappointing. When I was compared to a Nazi by the Labour Party sharing that post, Chris Hipkins came out and said it was inappropriate to share that image. I would question whether he thinks it’s inappropriate for the Labour Party to have brought misogyny into the House,” she said.
…Oh fuck right off you hypocrite!
Isn’t it fascinating watching Free Speech Champions like ACT melt into easily triggered snowflakes who are desperate to take offence at how hurt their feelings are rather than the social carnage of cutting 500 000 workers from pay parity!
The sanctimoniousness of this is extraordinary.
It’s pathetic Outrage Olympics to gloss over the vast damage this Government has just caused to afford Tobacco subsides, more military, landlord loop holes and tax cuts we can’t afford.
These are the women workers we should care about…
…not Van Velden’s or Nicola Willis’ feelings FFS!
You can’t be this easily manipulated kiwi?
These politicians are ripping off your mothers, your sisters, your wives, your girlfriends, your comrades and getting sad sad because mean words are used to criticise their war on women!
Let’s remind ourselves of those amazing and beautiful words from Andrea Vance again…
“Turns out you can have it all. So long as you’re prepared to be a c*** to the women who birth your kids, school your offspring and wipe the arse of your elderly parents while you stand on their shoulders to earn your six-figure, taxpayer-funded pay packet.”
…personally I think Andrea is wrong, Nicola Willis lacks the depth or warmth to be called the c word.
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.
If the c*** word what Van Velden said in parliament was never spoken then the Sunday Star Times printed c*** could be cock or cuck or croc or clam or whatever FFS!
There’s a lesson in this that Andrea Vance, and indeed many contributors to the Daily Blog, would do well to learn. Never abandon the moral high ground in any debate. By ill-advisedly using a profanity in her article Vance gave her opponents a weapon they could wield to divert attention from the real issue, the attack on the working class that this amendment to the Equal Pay legislation represents.
Vance also seemed somewhat perplexed by the fact that this attack on women workers was fronted by a phalanx of female cabinet ministers. But no mystery: class interest will trump sex or race identity every time.
What a bunch of cry baby sooky bubba mummy’s boy and girl whoohsses ACT are….
I think most normal people would be wondering about why they even exist at all…
They are just a bunch of clueless unworldly ignorant weird types who
are no use to anyone apart from a tiny teeny weeny few.. who are also obviously just as weird.
Their corruption of the mmp system to gain power was the canary in the coalmine, demonstrating that this type of human species are just a bunch of unscrupulous, untrustworthy, insular, self indulgent , braggard, nemetoads who are clipping the taxpayer ticket on the back of shit stirring ineptitude and incompetence.
They need to be, and will be, gone at the next election…and then they should all just fuck off into the ether.
N.Z. does not need this crap floating around the halls of power any longer.
They
Dick head Dave is pushing a new bill ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS .Does that mean Maori will get their property back as is their right .
Fuck that Seymour is a stupid looking smirking munt
Vote ACT for government of the c__ts, by the c__ts, for the c__ts.
This shows why you should not send your children to private, elitist schools. All the working class scruffs like me get their skins thickened by daily insults as state schoolers.
If you dress like a one, talk like one, act like one, and look like one, then the chances are you indeed really are a c***.
And shouldn’t be surprised when people speak the truth.
And both Seymour and the babbling Brook are old enough to know this.
The current women MPs in government are a good reason not to have equal pay .Just look at the hate they have for women and children .They make the worst male politician look like a school kid while they continue to destroy every woman and child in NZ .No doubt they are the life of the party at friday night drinks .
Meanwhile the smokescreen stops the atrocious Governments private agenda. .

Yes, agree with you gordon walker how about they get rid of perpetual leases and return all our land taken under the public works act (not be used for the purpose taken) and rebellious act for starters. The biggest thief in this country is the crown.

You forgot cunt van velden
She is simply appalling and the biggest hypocrite in parliament if she believes her speech in parliament when using the “C” word was sticking up for women when she just axed 33 claims to improve wages for women!
Both ACT and Van Velden are Atlas plants.
Is it just me or does Van Velden look plastic? It would make a lit of sense then.
