Gossipy chatter

Writer: Amanda RiddellAmanda Riddell

As for Elizabeth -- I reckon she should stand for Te Pāti if this Greens thing becomes a scandal. -


It's ridiculous, though; I mean, I don't know her, but she seems alright from the Zoom chats. I've attended a few Greens zoom huis, but I'm not affiliated with the party.


I think 'bullying' is a stupid word. It's not useful, and that's because it's about perception rather than reality. I bet every MP is rude to people, and I'm sure they all have opinions about each other.


I'm not a Greens member, though. I'm pitching for Te Pāti this election; that's the party I'm a member of. Amanda Michelina isn't me -- her politics are probably simpler and easier for people to grasp, while mine are really complex. - I think the Greens have failed to capitalise on the floods, while Te Pāti Māori clearly has, which is why I joined them to start with: I like the way they get things done. It's sorta weird that I'm there when my party isn't, though; that feels weird. The Māori electorates are huge, though, so Rawiri has a lot of ground to cover, and Debbie too with the election coming up.
