Should Duncan Garner Be Calling Shubz Over Explosive Allegations?

Ummmmm.
To paraphrase the great Blazing Saddles, Mongo No Understand.

Who is Shubz and why he has been platformed

If you have been paying attention you will know all about ‘Shubz’, a Right Wing Māori Social Media Influencer who parrots Hobson Pledge and NZFirst talking points about the ‘Māori Elites’. He is an Australian Māori with a ‘cuzzie bro’ delivery and has become a pin up poster boy for the Right because redneck cracker loves nothing more than a Māori who turns on other Māori.

It’s been the secret to Winston’s political success for 50 years.

Shubz has been interviewed twice by Duncan Garner at Mediaworks on his Editor-in-chief podcast, so Mongo no understand why Shubz isn’t on with Duncs right now because two nights ago Shubz made the most incredible allegation ever made in NZ politics, that a NZ Political Party had a hit out on him to assassinate him!!!!!

Don’t believe me?

Watch it yourself…

The allegation and the public claim

This morning i watched a very strange video from Martel Wikeepa (@shubzlive) – it included an allegation that a major political party had put out a hit on him. There was zero evidence about this. Then there was a response to his own claim that someone pulled a gun on him at… pic.twitter.com/nkCsxXxTzL

…Now.

Shubz is doing it tough right now. Despite all the TicTok foam, despite Duncs platforming him and despite all the social media attention, barely anyone has turned up to his $100,000 Heal The Nation Hikoi.

It started with only 50 people (including the crypto-fascist CounterSpin, which tells you everything you need top know about that) turning up at Parliament and hasn’t managed to get over two dozen on the Hikoi since starting.

Watching Shubz melt down in real time as he gets attacked everywhere he goes and the terrible fact that barely anyone has turned up to support him has been a real time train wreck of hilarious proportions, but his incredible claim last night must be on Mediaworks and shouted to the world because Shubz claimed that a NZ political party were attempting to assassinate him!

Media silence and editorial responsibility

A NZ Political Party attempting to assassinate someone is the biggest news story of the year, so where is Mediaworks in covering this story?

I mean, Shubz is either a grifter who is having a real time mental health breakdown or he is as Duncs has portrayed him, a brave citizen standing up for truth and justice who is about to be murdered by a NZ Political Party.
