  1. Elizabeth Kerekere might be right. In these ultra-sensitive times keeping one’s own counsel is the politic thing to do.

    When Ms Kerekere is back on the Opposition side of the House with less of her party mates than she has now, and a drastically reduced Labour lot with them, I wonder if she’ll think that some of the fuel that got them there was from her.

      1. Anker No Kerekere will put it down to the colonialists curbing her ancestors’ varieties of gender experience having impacted upon her fragile psyche.

  2. Probably deliberately leaked so to provide an excuse to get rid of her. After all, who has the electorate seat?

  3. Isn’t the real story here who leaked this?
    Like, Kerekere’s a bully, no surprise. And she’s supposed to be all about the baby LGBTs, buthere she is bullying one, go figure.
    But who leaked this? There are people in the Greens that must hate her, becuase this looks sooooo bad for them, esp on top of Davidson’s stuff. Do they hate her enough to get rid of her? If you look at her facebook page, she pretty much says she’s the queen of the greens. Gross.

    1. It looks like a fracture among GP MPs and/or their staffers: ie people who were part of the chat Kerekere texted to by mistake.

  4. I like that top 5. Just needs to focus on economically sound environment policy. Best thing to happen to get that top 5 is the Greens poll under 5%

    1. Really – tell me something Golriz has done
      Golriz of the ‘men can have babies’

  5. The greens are anything but green these days. In my opinion their main redeemable feature is one of their main candidates, James Shaw, as everyone else is so obviously skewed towards their own self interests.

    1. Daniel Lang Hmm – they look more like gender obsessed sex maniacs apart from James Shaw and a couple of others.

  6. All of the political parties in the bourgeois Parliament have a varying quotient of dingbats–ACT & NZ First 100%–others a little less. Exhibits A & B “Nashy”, Sharma, Pugh and recent Natzo Matt King are further examples.

    I saw the body language between Chlöe and Dr Kerekere on Parliament TV yesterday and thought what the…something has gone down here…

    Surely, people need to take some responsibility again and get involved politically and collectively. The individualist blind canyon is not working.

  7. Getting described as one of the best and brightest in the Green caucus be a bit like being the deputy head boy at a home school?

  8. It would be nice to read a headline stating ‘greens begin an investigation into climate change inaction’, or ‘biodiversity collapse’, instead we get the greens opening up an investigation into someone being called a cry baby… Oh dear god give me strength. I really want to vote green but I just can’t in good conscience…

  9. The Greens are imploding.

    When Kerekere is moved down the list by any sane person left in the Greens, wait for the howls, aggression and push back from the trans rights activists.

    The greens (let’s go and fight Nazis) values lol

    1. Anker Oddity Kerekere ahead of Genter on the party list confirms suggestions that the Green’s fruitcake gender collective is on kamikaze mission, the most socially responsible thing they have ever undertaken, and one can only wish them every success.

  10. So which MP leaked Kerekere’s messages to the media? As Farrar points out:

    “Also of interest is that someone has given these screenshots to the media – a message that only went to Green MPs and senior staff. I doubt a staffer would give this to the media without permission, so this implies the hatred is so bad within the caucus that one of their ten MPs leaked it to damage Kerekere.”

    And from the NZ Herald:

    “At the time, Green MPs Golriz Ghahraman and Julie Anne Genter were sitting behind Swarbrick as she spoke, and can be seen on Parliament TV appearing to react to the messages.”

    One of these two maybe? Txt their assistant “DO IT”.

    1. Ouch, probably true.
      I think their brand has become irreversibly tainted by identity politics.

      It really needs to start over. I’d vote for a new environmentally focused party that promotes steady-state economic systems.

      1. I’d vote (again) for a Green Party if they went back to the original principles of green politics: ecological justice, social and economic justice, participant democracy. The latter has especially gone out the window with the current GP MPs, and they are very selective about which groups count for their support in the second principle

        1. Great to put their kaupapa here, too many think the only kaupapa is environmental issues. It has always had social and economic justice in the kaupapa.

          Participatory democracy would be a wonderful thing. Democracy is not the tick every 3 years.

        2. You mean that you’d vote for them again, if they became a completely different party?

  11. Hopefully the Green membership will show Kerekere the door when it ratifies the List. If not, they’re heading for history, sadly, as we need a strong, principled Green party as never before.
    If you cannot see that, you’re clearly living on another planet.

    1. We do need a Green Party but this lot will only go with Labour and any policy will be watered down to not upset the middle ground voters. If the Greens had wanted serious change they could have said to National in 2017 we choose you but with a tough bottom line and they would have been in a powerfull position not the 3rd leg of a do nothing group of parties that had no respect for each other.
      They are now falling apart and I predict only 5 or 6 will get back into power.Why would any white man feel comfortable voting for them

    2. Agreed Verity. I will not be voting Green again if Kerekere is still in the party. Chloe is great!

  12. “Some of these people shouldn’t be near the levers of power”
    Or probably the crayons or the milo tin unsupervised.
    2 year olds at least aren’t as toxic.

  13. Ummm…if they can’t work as a strong mature cohesive team right now how can they potentially help run a country?
    Geez not good for voter confidence.

  14. Idiots.
    But what this probably is – as the exchange was leaked- is an internal fight for list placings.
    And that tells us the Greens are worried about their polling after Marama went full retard on white people.
    Watch the next poll with interest.

    1. A rare intelligent comment., Keepcalmcarryon.
      Far too many RW trolls like Bob, Trevor, Andrew etc obviously piling in on the obvious meme – ‘Nobody with any intelligence could possibly vote Green!’
      Stupid crap. On many serious issues the Greens have been on the correct side for many years now. Serious Green supporters will wait and see, rather than be influenced for life by petty fireworks such as this current issue.

  15. Kerekere goes on and on and on and on about a pre-colonial Maori bouillabaisse of genders which reduce Elgar’s sublime “ Enigma Variations” to the sound of one hand clapping. She’s an awful bore.
    At Select Committee she behaved like an ill-bred bully, IMO, and shouldn’t be in Parliament at all. Typical, IMO, of the dumbing down of what were once universities; the greenery in her hair does nothing to convince me that she’s an environmentalist and her vocabulary is as bad as Marama’s.

    1. I think Kerekere got one of those dumbed down PhDs which has very little intellectual rigour – like Maori science.

  16. To be woke is to be aware of social injustice and inequity and want to do something about changing it. Martyn you were woke before the word woke existed. What you call being woke is actually nothing of the sort it is just being a w⚓️ and unfortunately w⚓️s have been around even longer.

  17. crybaby – seriously !!!???

    The fact that the greens are going to have a serious investigation on the use of the word “cry baby” after their fearless leader just alienated 40% of the population with her extremist racist gender commentary defies belief.

    What a pack of self parodying morons the greens have become. Meanwhile the crushed underclass get pulled deeper into the orbit of the right ala US politics. It’s a bloody tragedy with the left allowing the woke thought police to march them right off the edge of a cliff. What an effing mess.

  18. Oh My God, seriously Chloe and Golriz? You have to be joking! As an adult human female I’d say you’re mad. The only Green Party member worthy of recognition EVER! was the late Jeanette Fitzsimmon. With her retirement went all credibility and true focus on environment and grass roots fundamental Green policy. Greens = Woke = misogyny = racism nothing else.

    1. There were a few of them at that time, of course Jeanette, and Rod, the two Sues, Nandor, Keith Locke.

    2. Sue. Dr Sue Bradford was pretty good. Our children are forever in her debt for her fighting to protect them from the violence of adults. She’ll always be a political giantess. Even John Key supported her, the best thing that he ever did. Shame that the Greens shafted her.

      1. She was not shafted, she stood for the leadership and lost, that is not shafting someone.

  19. Oh My God, seriously Chloe and Golriz? You have to be joking! As an adult human female I’d say you’re mad.

  20. Ms Swarbrick can handle Kerekere, as she said-“I’ve been called a lot worse”.

    1. If it was reversed and Kerekere got that treatment, it would be rampant racism and she would be milking it.

      As is, it is blatant bullying and depicting the ‘trans love’ behind the scenes, in the Green Party.

      Stopping more liquor abuse and supporting other members, is not a priority, clearly for some members of the Green Party.

  21. The Green Party reminds me of the Stephen King movie “The Mist” where Dr Elizabeth Kerekere is the religious spiritualist Carmody – gaining power as disaster strikes before sacrificing people who oppose her.

    The Green Party is not really the Green Party anymore, too many have left or been expelled, those still environmentally focused are well down the list, and it’s really just an extreme rainbow party.

  22. Don’t forget Covid rules didn’t apply to Kerekere.

    She was never prosecuted by police.

    Unlike the female lawyer and judges son who were made an example of! LGBTQ activist’s don’t need to follow laws anymore – they will escape prosecution – https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/128061128/green-party-coleaders-report-mp-elizabeth-kerekere-to-health-authorities-over-breaking-covid19-rules especially if they were born male but identify as female!

    We see that by the lack of interest in prosecuting the violence at the Speak Up for Woman rally. The juice throwing refugee has left the country and the one that punched out the old lady on camera has not been prosecuted so far.

  23. Thank-you Queeny for getting back to basics.
    Election 6 months away and they are arguing about nothing as usual.
    They behave like a lot of catty school girls and look as if they belong at St. Trinian’s.
    Not many credible Greens left. Jeanette Fitzsimons would be disgusted and so are a lot of us.
    No-one is asking Christopher any hard questions. He seems to have gone to ground and is letting his deputy make a splash. Perhaps he’s has gone to Te Puke for Easter.
    Anyway, message to the Greens – Go Green or Go Home. Your petty school-girl squabbles are a disgrace.
    There is plenty to worry about without giving this nonsense any attention.
    We need intelligent, sensible, green policies, not silly distraction.

  24. Why is Kerekere so high on the Greens list?

    Is it because she fails to follow the Covid rules during travel? The law beyond her?

    Why did the greens also change their charter so that they don’t need a male and female anymore instead requiring one woman and one person of any gender, plus a requirement that one must be Māori.

    AKA Marama and Kerekere – the Green Dream Team Leaders. Sarcasm.
