OPINION

I’m taking one for the team being on the receiving end of the Labour Party’s campaign emails.

This week’s plea from Carmel Sepuloni is followed by my response.

You can tell Mr Hipkins that when he owns up to his government’s failures – and stops lying about them – he’s begun the journey back to regaining his humanity. 

Your government created second-class citizens, about which Hipkins audaciously lied.

For all practical purposes, COVID-19 vaccination became mandatory when the choice was between vaccination and forfeiting your job, your business or your home. The majority of New Zealanders succumbed cheaply to vaccination when promised haircuts, beauty treatments, socialising and travel: with many believing vaccination was a social responsibility.

Little did the gullible understand the price of participating in a worldwide human experiment that, for some, had serious medical consequences or death. Pfizer did not see fit to disclose adverse effects and didn’t want to know what the long-term health effects would be; neither did panicked governments and health authorities who didn’t question whether Pfizer’s trials were sufficient.

Families and friendships were torn apart by your government’s “non-mandated” vaccinations. 

You divided us on vaccination status, you divided us between Maori and non-Maori and you divided our children.

You brought gender reassignment theory into classrooms and inflicted transvestites on pre-schoolers whose parents think transvestites equate to normal sexual behaviour despite evidence from overseas of a high percentage of them becoming sex offenders and some transvestites having an appetite for paedophilia.

You don’t get to divide us and expect to get away with it.

Let’s not forget that the next biggest scam after COVID-19 is climate change which is blared into our homes daily through the television and radio and drummed into our children at school. 

Neither will we forget the financial debt inflicted on our children and their future children, with nothing to show for it except Jacinda Ardern’s obscene bragging about New Zealand leading the world in the fight against COVID-19.  Admit it – you lost that fight!

I sincerely hope none of you gets another three years. You’ve had your fun, and the gig is up, so please slink off into oblivion where you belong.

I do not wish Mr Hipkins a happy birthday but I do wish that he might find his missing moral code and rejoin the human race.

If Hipkins bothered to connect with grassroots New Zealanders he would discover that, on the whole, we are not “judgey” like his predecessor was. In fact, we just want to be left alone to live healthy decent lives without government interference – and therein lies the key to the next successful government.

I am happily a New Zealander whose heritage shaped but does not define. Four generations ago my forebears left overcrowded, poverty ridden England, Ireland and Germany for better prospects here. They were...
