The Prime Minister’s Electoral Office has been attacked by a sword and attempted arson…

PM’s office attack: Staff evacuated after sword used to damage Jacinda Ardern’s Auckland office

Staff have been evacuated from the Prime Minister’s Auckland electoral office after a sword was used to damage the building this morning.

Police said the incident took place at about 8.20am when an object was thrown through a window at the office in Morningside.

A sword was later photographed lying outside the office on New North Rd.

“No injuries have been reported and the building was unoccupied at the time,” police said.

…there is a history of MPs having their electoral offices attacked.

In 2004 Helen Clark had an axe put through her window in protest at the seabed and foreshore land confiscations.

In 2014 Hone Harawira had his electoral office shot at.

The toxic level of political polarisation that is being spun into violent fantasies via social media hate algorithms makes the next year until the election one where the real possibility of a lone wolf or deranged cell group attempting political violence is 50-50.

Attacking the PMs office could be the act of a disturbed person and be just another chapter of evidence highlighting how broken our mental health services have become or it could be something darker mutating out in the hinterlands of the NZ primordial political swamp.

  1. Most likely some demented person in a finacial hole spurred on by the constant repetitive harping from the opposition about “wasteful spending”…..

    1. Exactly Charlie. Apparently our government spending is so large Australia now has 7.3% inflation

      1. Governments that did the same thing as our government did, i.e. print money, have similar outcomes…

        Shocking!

        1. Yeah buggar that eh Mickeyboyle, Labour should’ve just let businesses go under during Covid, I’m with you.

  3. I’d rather not use the term swamp – we don’t have a reptilian leviathons (religious hate terms for liberal/secular government) here.

    A suspect list

    1. Anti lockdown and anti mandate.

    2. 501 doing it tough.

    3. farming person (emissions), ex a gun or two (fury/embarrassment at small size of Groundswell protest).

    4. the (BOP) guy on the run is in Auckland.

    5. The person within earshot when BT looked at the result of a poll he commissioned.

    6666.

    Someone on the Taxpayer Union email newsletter list – Three Waters/He Puapua/Treaty/Maori/tax cuts

    Old school one law for all associated (white race identity). White race incel Auckland university graduate (debt and high rent cost).

    Shopowner angry at lack of action on crime.

    7. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/03/incel-movement-terror-threat-canada

    2. Here you go SPC:
      https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/woman-arrested-after-sword-attack-on-prime-minister-jacinda-arderns-electorate-office/B6RITWFWPLQKD7VGYPLKXB5ZEA/
      It appears to be a 57 year old woman with health issues
      “ She claimed she had been engaged in longstanding grievances with the Prime Minister’s office and various government departments over health and living issues which were repeatedly “palmed off”.”

      But don’t let it stop your bigotry in smearing every “outgroup” your small woke brain can think of.

      1. The article said “health and living” issues, it did not say she had (mental) health problems.

        An assessment of the likely perp is not based on bigotry, but identifiable sources of threat of judgment of politicians, past acts of violence or expression of anger – and the risk of some being influenced by them to act.

  4. Blah, it’s not even on the same level as a ramraid or a jewel heist.

    “No injuries have been reported and the building was unoccupied at the time,” police said.

    So nobody was there.. so how was it possible to evacuate staff?

    This wasn’t even a break it. Considering what the public put up with.. this isn’t newsworthy.

    My Advice:
    Call a Glazier

  5. 57 year old woman arrested in Coatesville apparently. I imagine the Herald hacks are disappointed the perp wasn’t an incel.

      1. I mentioned 9, why would I care if it was an incel associated with white race identity movement, or not? It just happened to be a garden variety constituent issue, rather than one related to the local MP being PM.

        As to your issues with The Standard, I invite others to type in your handle at The Standard – as to your 2018 posts before your ban. They indicate your opposition to high levels of immigration (save nz turf) and Chinese people who were anti-west – but you were actually banned for abuse of Bill over his moderation.

  6. Big deal … Have a look at the shit that Happens every day to everyday people .. except cops don’t turn up to those.

  8. Just a small point.
    It was the MP for Mt Alberts office that was attacked.
    The PMs office is in Wellington.

  11. SPC you left the good DR Sharma off that list. Plenty of political enemies in the Labour Party.
