Letters: Labour's left wing policies coming home to roost

Jacinda Ardern has proven to be a hopeless, inept Prime Minister, says a reader.

The 2017 pre-election assessments about Jazindarilla effectively outlining that she had never held a proper real world job, has always been in politics, fraternising with left wing politicians, have proved to be quite accurate.

These outcomes have reinforced the credo of socialism (the philosophy of failure, ignorance and envy), that it promotes the equal sharing of miseries.

At the first hurdles Ms Ardern has baulked, proving to be hopeless, inept and ineffective. The recent Labour Youth Camp "need to know" fiasco showed up the flaws in the Labour hierarchy make-up.

In addition we have had the following debacles:
The appalling race-based reports from 'basket case' South Africa last month, confirming white farmers and the new constitution are being severely dealt to by the racist ANC government.

The PC response from a politely (in)correct Labour/Greens/NZF Government and most other New Zealand politicians is that we as Kiwis don't want to know about racism elsewhere, apparently because this doesn't suit our prejudiced agendas and flawed ideology, so let's brush it under the carpet and get on with our own perverse apartheid policy in Kiwiland, promoting race-based separatism.

Greenie Julie Anne Genter, an American with dual citizenship, the Greens' Minister for Women (the term itself is sexist — and pray tell where is the Minster for Men?), a self-proclaimed fulltime feminist, looks around for an easy mark to pillorise and comes up with the hoary chestnut about old white men in their 60s sitting as directors on public company boards — perhaps they are there on ability, because they are competent and know their stuff, otherwise shareholders would ditch them.

Ms Genter's qualifications to make this assessment are a BA in philosophy, some French political studies, and AU transportation/parking stuff, hardly mind-blowing credentials.

Her remarks were at best condescending, and fell into the category of ageist, sexist and racist comments. Predictably, she has been reported to the Human Rights Commission, but they are unlikely to address this as their own PC rules never apply to themselves or feminists.

Again Ms Ardern did nothing about this nonsense. Gender inequality whinging indeed, because who is our Prime Minister (Ardern), our Chief Justice (Elias), our Governor-General (Reddy) and our Race Relations Commissioner (Devoy?)

Go figure that lot out.

Then up to the plate steps Clare Curran, Minister for Broadcasting, organising a clandestine meeting with Carol Hirschfeld, a RNZ senior manager, initially flying under the radar until Ms Hirschfeld finally fesses up while Ms Curran ducks for cover and tries to gobbledegook her way out of the mire.

This all looks like a clear breach of Cabinet manual rules (Section 414), yet again Ms Ardern does nothing, striving to defend the indefensible. All this when Ms Curran's feet should not have touched the floor on the way out the Cabinet room door. Clark and Key would never have tolerated this behaviour.

These are but some recent examples that reinforce Ms Ardern's feminist, socialist, leftist mindsets, plus most other fashionable PC nonsense. She looks ill-equipped to govern as Prime Minister, and her demeanour and truculence leave plenty to be desired.

All the individuals named have one thing in common — guess what that is? The solution for Ms Ardern is if the kitchen is too hot to handle then she should get out now.

Kiwis must seriously ask themselves, is this the decisive, transparent, accountable, honest and open coalition government they wanted and need to have?

In addition, we now have looming large the unwarranted proposed increase in fuel tax, destined methinks mainly for topping up the slush funds, along with many other pending new tax aberrations.
