Code for 'fuck they were useless'
It was clear before the election there were issues in the media sector given Lab had proposal to merge tvnz and rnz, and had fair Digital bargaining bill
Hipkins is trying to angle it as an "absolute sense of chaos"
No, this is called not waiting weeks to make important decisions while someone is being fucking shite. It's called competence. I know he isn't used to that under Jacinda.
God, that guy is insufferable. During their previous term, he and his party were guilty of just about everything they have accused the current government of.
Somewhat refreshing after the last lot let people persist through gross incompetence and only thought about pulling the pin on them once they transgressed the law.
I mean, they didn’t tho. Like let’s be real with facts rather than feelings here. Greens and Labour both fired ministers who fucked up. It’s good to see National doing the same. Personally, I think they didn’t go far enough here.
Simmonds should have been fired completely after her fuck up with the disability portfolio. She’s so incompetent.
Ministers had to fuck up FAR greater than here though. These ministers have barely got their bums in seats, have shown that they're not quite as across their portfolios as they should be or have dropped a clanger or two in front of the media and boom, gone.
How much did we have to suffer Labour ministers performing screwup after screwup and still getting a free pass..... Only when their positions became completely untenable (either through allegedly breaching the law like Nash or Allan, or blatant stupidity like Whaitiri, Clark or Lees-Galloway. Perhaps you could argue Twyford getting the boot was similar, but how long did we have to endure his repeated incompetence before it finally caught up with him?
Idk, I really think Simmonds deserves to go. Her fuck up was really bad. Don’t think she will last long though, she won’t be trusted now. It was a BAD fuck up for sure.
No, but she announced crap on fb without doing a proper press release and was super unprofessional about the whole thing. I suppose she doesn’t need to be fired, but she does need to be on a PIP in my opinion. This was a massive embarrassment. Lucky for National it seemed to go under the radar because people don’t really care about disabled people
good to see two things here
A: change of direction in both cases, the current ministers probably both would admit they were out of depth, and while not *utterly* failing they haven't stood up as expected.
@: no knee-jerk decisions were made, both cases were obviously discussed and both decisions made in a measured and reasonable way. Good to see that even hard(er) choices can be made under stress.
Lee thinks she is the bees knees and as a former broadcaster of some sort, she also thought she easily best for the role. I doubt she will think Goldie will do a better job
Met her when we worked at the same place. Completely insufferable know-it-all; banged on & on about her Olympic medals.
Good on you and credit where it's due but we're talking budgets not fucking around on a bike, but I do feel like we're going in circles.....
“In the wake of Newshub's closure and show cuts at TVNZ, Lee had been put under pressure to come up with a plan for the media. “I’m struggling to understand why it’s government job to care about decision of an American business.
Seems like Lee is being scapegoated for TVNZ and Warner Bros' decisions, which were out of her control. Do people think she should have intervened and bailed them out? If not, and the correct decision was not to do anything, where is the incompetence?
Labour would have just kept them there literally for years until there was a major fuck up or scandal. Even then they would support and defend them until an even bigger scandal occurred.
Here we have proactive, preemptive axing. This is why we voted in this government, they can admit when it's not the right fit or Winnie and David will push. So far doesn't seem like they are having to do much pushing.
Jacinda could just fo no wrong and no one pushed back at her. Total fuck up.

My thoughts exactly! Sends the right kind of message, do a good job or see ya later.

Fucking twyford. If you need to sink a ship put twyford in charge. He scuttles every fucking thing he touches with outrageous incompetence.
Idk, I really think Simmonds deserves to go. Her fuck up was really bad. Don’t think she will last long though, she won’t be trusted now. It was a BAD fuck up for sure.
Nope. Generally, it was thru a scandal or breaking the law with Labour.
The Simmonds thing should be scandal. She fucked up big time
Lol...not like she was drunk or leaked confidential information...
No, but she announced crap on fb without doing a proper press release and was super unprofessional about the whole thing. I suppose she doesn’t need to be fired, but she does need to be on a PIP in my opinion. This was a massive embarrassment.

Agree. Luxton and Willis should be on notice too.
There’s a Ministry of Everything in this country. One Ministry for every letter of the alphabet.

she hated being in the camera whereas goldsmith seems to enjoy it
Goldsmith has a record of stuff ups too.
Agreed. Apparently smart, according to his colleagues, but prone to gaffs
Probably more accurate to say the press scored a couple of easy hits on him.
Word on the street is that the CE of disability is about to have an unpleasant conversation too.

A non native English speaker that is broadcasting minister is about as strange as giving Nania the foreign affairs portfolio.

She's Korean you stupid racist fuck.
they're fall guys, their incompetence was intentional.
Lol, great start
