Could be sexist, could be racist too in some people's opinions, I have no opinion on it, not a member.
As for co-leadership, they'd still need two if that's their constitution.

We'd have no politics thread if Wiz stopped saying stupid things, just a bunch of sane and well-adjusted people agreeing with each other's insightful opinions.

Hipkins couldn’t define it, can the Pounamu’s?

It’s a woman and anyone else. Plus one needs to be Maori. They must have 2 co leaders.
Both requirements are covered by Davidson so anyone (Chloe) would fit the second position.
Don’t know how the public would react to 2 females but they don’t seem to have a strong male candidate. Chloe step on up!

I reckon Chloe will be a vote grabber for the youth, Shaw was an effective and pragmatic operator but has the personality of Mr Bean let's face it. Whether it's a good thing for the country ultimately is a different question. Marama is too divisive for them to get very far with the general electorate anyway.

Looking at the Greens list, they should go with Chloe and Teanau Tuiono, he's an environmentalist not a gender-obsessed nut case.

Never heard of the guy but checking up he seems a professional activist and protestor.
Chloe’s popular because she promotes a positive vision instead of being another whinging handbrake about everything.

I remember he was a Springbok tour protester, must have been a kid though. No shame in that, he was on the right side of history. If no one whinged they'd still have apartheid.

From wikipaedia:
He was the activist in residence at Massey University.
Tuiono attended the protests at the anti-Springbok tour protests in 1981. Prior to entering parliament, he organised protests for subjects such as GCSB laws, the TPPA,and support for Australian Aboriginal rights.
Is there an activist in residence title at university or is that a wikipaedia piss take?

Does that mean he got paid for it? Has he ever had a real job? Starting to go off this guy. Doubt it's true though.

I got caught nicking a Dr Who book from a bookshop in New Brighton when I was 10, when the old man found out I wasn't allowed to watch dr who all year, that was the end my life of crime.
(except for the crimes he never found out about)

'Could've expressed himself better': PM walks back comments by Police Minister about timeframe to recruit 500 officers
It comes after Mark Mitchell said the government would deliver 500 additional police officers over the term of this Government, which is three years.

Going to be interesting how becoming a police officer is going to be made an attractive career path by this government. They’ve been quiet on how they propose to address the visible gang patches they mentioned there would be a crackdown on and adding a potential confrontation for officers for a person to remove a vest might not attract many?

Even Winnie this morning on TV said recruitment is not easy especially with the heavy recruitment campaigns be waged by Australian Police!!'Could've expressed himself better': PM walks back comments by Police Minister about timeframe to recruit 500 officers

WTF !! This has be going on for a few years now.
PM says he's not aware of any minister receiving donations from tobacco lobby groups after grilling by Hipkins
The Prime Minister is confident everyone in his team is sticking by the rules.

Interesting the not aware line. Usually means it’s exactly what’s going on but the leader plays dumb to ever knowing about it. Media have latched onto this and would expect much more digging to be done.
