Oh, wonderful. StJacinda’s in the news again.

She’s just jealous no one wants to have an affair with her

That’s more than Scummo or Gladys do about their dodgy cabinets until it comes to push and shove. They even re-employ them afterwards!

NZ is a laughingstock.

Good grief, not another one. Labour MP’s need 24/7 police supervision. What a terrible government.

ScottyFromMarketting -See it’s not difficult!!! That’s leadership!!!!

Lucky Barnaby isn't an NZ mp

I love how she shows ScottMorrisonMP how to do things. Instead he just gets angry at the media and shouts irrelevant nonsense. He's a gimp.

Not on my watch.

She is so wonderful it’s hard to understand why they all want to come and live in Australia.

She’s not playing games.

Are you paying attention to this story ScottNoMates? Real leadership being shown here, something Morrison lacks .

Yet again jacin daardern excels in her strong leadership👍👍Can you imagine ScottMorrisonMP doing this? He shields liars, rorters and other scum without batting an eyelid auspol

Proof positive that that virus has crossed eastward over the Tasman.

A young male staffer? 🤔

Whenever I read 'inappropriate relationship,' I just think 'they've been shagging haven't they.' Why don't they just say that in the report, rather than beat around the bush (so to speak).

an_leavy Everyone loves a root. What's the fight against human nature? So long as it's consential and not a direct report - I personally don't see an issue. Office romances have been happening since offices were invented.

Such consequences would not happen in Aus and have not - seems anything goes here ?

So... he is in a 12 month long relationship with someone who works with him. How on gods earth is that inappropriate? Is she a stupid fool? Is that it? Good grief, let adults be adults you scold. Really, I am terrified of living in a world crafted by middle aged women

Kkkk Deve ser aqueles ministros YAG que pregam uso de máscaras e demais EPIs Mas nunca usou EPI sexual (preservativo masculino) em surubas or 3some... Hi jdoriajr

Good to see that a leader has taken the appropriate response to a man who clearly priorities his own selfish interests over public office. Would be great to see politicians actually see consequences for selfish actions here in Australia.
