Winston Peters celebrates Trevor Mallard’s replacement as Irish Ambassador

Foreign Minister Winston Peters is celebrating former Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard being replaced as Ambassador to Ireland.

Peters named Angela Hassan-Sharp for the role in a statement about 1pm on Tuesday.

Asked about Mallard, he said “you know that famous song from the Seekers? Carnival’s over”.

He said Mallard was “coming home and he’s coming home early”.

Mallard has never been punished for his mishandling of the Dumb Lives Matter Protest!

I supported our amazing response to Covid.

I believe we handled it better than most other countries because of Jacinda’s leadership…

…part of that undoing was the way the Dumb Lives Matter protest were handled.

*

I was goading many of the protestors as they convoyed down to Parliament.

I was angry that I had not been included in their list of people they wanted to hang on Parliament Grounds during their show trial.

While I mocked these people, I supported their right to protest because this is a liberal progressive democracy and you have that right.

I believe we did the best we could in a once in a century pandemic and I supported the mandates.

However, because this is a liberal progressive democracy, you can’t hold people down and force an injection into. All injections have to be consensual, and again, because this is a liberal progressive democracy, you have the right to not consent, for whatever reason you want!

While I disagreed with these people, I did agree that they shouldn’t have had to face a stand down on welfare for losing their jobs AND they should have been able to return to their jobs post mandates.

The fact we didn’t do any of that to soften the alienation is on us AND someone from the Government should have gone to meet the protestors and heard their concerns.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Let’s examine what actually did get done.

Trevor’s handling of the Dumb Lives Matter protestors on Parliament’s Lawns provoked and escalated this violence while recruiting and radicalising thousands!

REMEMBER! By the end of Wednesday, the factions within this ‘movement’ were already turning on each other with various groups criticising other faction leaders.

They hadn’t been able to use their numbers to seriously threaten Parliament and they were already leaving because of internal disputes over the attempt to force conflict on the Wednesday.

This was a protest movement the was dying on Thursday morning!

That all changed when Trev had a spurt of blood to the head, and got all grumpy protector bear and ordered the State to clear the lawn…

…Let’s be very fucking clear.

He didn’t have to do that, and he shouldn’t have done that!

He immediately created a common enemy for the protestors while live streaming a 10 hour recruitment video to the country!

That weekend there were 5 times the number of protestors!

His basic bitch warehouse bargain basement psy-ops using the spraying of water and loud music at night which provoked the riot on Parliament’s lawns combined with his Office trespassing politicians from Parliament made this a cluster fuck of gasp inducing enormity.

The reason the wider Left are so silent on criticising Mallard’s actions (as seen in the zero criticism of him in Stuff’s Fire and Fury middle propaganda) is because many of the Middle Class Wellington Marxists screamed for the Police to bash the smelly lumpenproletariat Nazis because they had their work from home privilege threatened by angry scary brown poor people whom they claim at Wellington dinner parties to care about.

This is Clint Smith demanding Andrew Coster be sacked for not bashing the smelly lumpenproletariat Nazis…

…Mallard’s role in provoking what happened on Parliament’s Lawns will never be examined by Wellington’s middle class Marxists because he protected their sense of privilege as well. He has managed to get away with causing all this radicalisation without any accountability whatsofuckingever.
*
Were there extremists and Nazis amongst the disaffected, sure were, and that’s why we had to carefully deal with this and not use brute force because it would become a recruitment tool for extremism!
There was never a question over whether or not we could have cleared the Lawns, we have tear gas, riot shields, dogs and rubber bullets – OFF COURSE WE COULD CLEAR IT, the State has a monopoly on violence, the question was always ‘how do we clear it with out radicalising people’.
The majority of those protesting were Green/Labour voters, Mallard’s actions and Jacinda’s refusal to at least send a delegation to hear the complaints of those her policy hurt has permanently cost the Left 5% of the vote.
For those who have been lost down rabbit holes, they were othered in a way they never felt before and their resentment has turned into a treacle of hate that sticks to everything it touches.
These people are NEVER voting Labour/Green ever again.
Mallard should be held to account.

  2. a good response to the protest would e to get them to choose some leaders and take them to a studio where they could make their case streamed on-line and have officials and ministers put up the options and consequences for viewers to see the issues explored for everybody to become informed of all the aspects of a pandemic.

  3. Trevor Mallard was a really good electorate MP, back in the day when that mattered.

  4. What truely differentiates democratic states from repressive regimes is the right to protest. in military juntas and dictatorships the right to protest is the first thing to go.
    Before Covid struck, anti-climate change activists had been planning a blockade of parliament. The plan was called ‘Hands Around the BeeHive’.
    After Mallard’s violent crushing of the antivaxxer protest set a precedent. In the repressive anti protest climate created by Mallard the Hands around the Beehive, campaign became untenable.
    Our democracy is the poorer for it.

  5. The protest situation required statesmanship. We don’t have that ingredient in our common politicians now, (particularly certain Speakers) and only possibly once or twice in the past; now our politicians are common in the worst way.

  6. Mistake Martyn to consider Mallard back will do us any good. We are spending money and attention on looking at covid now though it is past, and Mallard and the protest is past also. If he is involved in some brouhaha it takes attention from practical, principled action on our serious dilemmas NOW. He’ll take the Sinatra song My Way as his answer to questions and be recalcitrant. I suggest, make him watch this on Kant daily for a year before breakfast!

    My Way…..https://genius.com/Frank-sinatra-my-way-lyrics
    I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
    I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
    And now, as tears subside
    I find it all so amusing To think I did all that
    And may I say, not in a shy way
    Oh, no, oh, no, not me….I did it my way…

    He’s not on NZAO team, has scored a duck, and was better over with the Irish who are pretty sharp and could handle his cute ways. Now he will be back and won’t have any helpful thoughts as Peter Dunne has on Scoop and instead of sending him off down a slide we will feel like getting him to walk the plank. The devil makes work for idle hands is a telling saying.

  7. Quarantine was never voluntary. Never has been, not since it was invented in Venice during the plague.

    It was the police that cocked up the handling of the clownvoy – no interdiction nor additional staffing – so they couldn’t handle it.

    Once the sovcits promised to try and hang Ardern they lost the privilege of peaceful assembly.

    Mallard was just the guy left carrying the can when the music stopped.

    1. Don’t expect reason when the excitable are gathered with a CAUSE! And they had cause to be aggravated, and it had been building for years, covid was the cherry on top. It wasn’t Barry Manilow that was the wrong music. It was the right music, for a threat, we’ll play some good Kiwi stuff and then stop and announce that that will be all for now but if you can all quieten down there will be hot drinks, and a time for thinking and talking and filling out some questionnaires without rude words please. And then some speakers who can state in two minutes, from the mike at this point which you all can see, an idea, or a question, which will be noted, and placed under a heading stated by the speaker. This will be followed by another person who speaks about a different group, different heading. So more than just one person can stand and be heard. And you can go on for half an hour or so while you are all peaceful. If you can’t settle down it’s Barry Manilow wall to wall.

      That’s the way you do it folks, as Twev should have done it. Or you’re getting your money for nothing good and so I think about Mallard. Mate or not he was a fool. Handling crowds at this time of life should have been a piece of cake.

      1. It wasn’t about musical choices. They should have been dispersed. Pretty sure if I camped on Parliament’s lawn and promised to hang Luxon I’d get short shrift – even though Luxon would ooze down the rope like a bowl full of custard.

        1. Oh get a life SM. At least once every century in a nation’s life there should a gathering of aroused citizens in a public place. It is an example of some sort of democracy believed in – so wake up and don’t sink into trite, soul-destroying uniformity of the authoritarian bent.

          1. It was astroturfed by Verren. No two clownvoyers could agree on what they wanted.

            But if you march with violent intent upon parliament, you are to be dispersed. Or you’re endorsing Trump’s insurrection as a political option.

            The clownvoy was not innocent, and feigning outage at Mallard doesn’t make it any better.

  8. Give us MALLARD anytime over that shit-stirring, deluded Winston. Oh Winnie , a whole hostory of casting stones .. eg. the Cushing affair..
    For SEVEN years that DISHONEST DRUNCLE, received $18,000 of superannuation for not declaring his partner. Wiped it off as if he had just not ticked a box, when in fact it’s a WHOLE SECTION in your Superannuation application where you write detailed information re your partner, including official numbers and have partner sign…

    Others have been to prison for this yet Mallard is now the bad boy? Perspective please.

  9. Apparently the speaker does have the sole discretion to do what they want as the have sole jurisdiction over parliament grounds. That’s crazy considering he acted against best advice from the police. I hope he gets slammed for it, but it won’t be him it is the office of the speaker. So he can’t be recalled for that reason. Also diplomatic roles are often given by many countries as a grace and favour appointed and not to career diplomats, so Peter’s is wrong on that count, however if that should be a perk job or not is a good point.

  10. Who might hire Mallard to do what? The current govt, no! then who . . . ?
    Has any misdoing been alleged in his ambassadorial role? Peters refusing to give a reason is difficult to defend.
    The puzzle in Mallard’s career is that, having been persistently oafish as an eminent disorderly bovver-boy MP clown, he was then apptd Speaker, charged with conserving Order.
    I believe Mallard married Jane Clifton shortly before they went to Eire. She continues the Lessener’s exceedingly witty political commentator, doing approx as well from Dublin, so her return is unlikely to make much difference.
    The attack on the campers in Parlt grounds was organised by then asst cmr Richard Chambers. He was able to leap-frog the rank Deputy Cmr.
