A lesson (for Ardern and Victoria University students): actions, not words, can be ‘dangerous’.
The ‘inappropriate’ (quote unquote Gerry Brownlee) actions of Julie Anne Genter when she accosted mild-mannered National minister Matt Doocey in Parliament this week waving a booklet in his face, demonstrated it is actions not words that are dangerous.
Jacinda Ardern hopes to keep enlightening us all, courtesy of the NZ taxpayer, that, along with banning heinous brutality online, words (which contradict her radical ideology) should also be banned as they are ‘unsafe’. The same as the students at Victoria University, whose coercive bullying succeeded in cancelling a debate on Free Speech, as some views would make them feel ‘unsafe’.
She compares words contradicting her own warped ideology to ‘weapons of war’ and will continue to do so if the Government foolishly keeps funding her failed Christchurch Call.
This is Ardern’s key driving force: to coercively shut down opposing views to her own.
Not brutality online.
Her deafening silence in response to the heinous genocide by Hamas of some 1300 Jewish people on 7 October is a testament to this. Where was her public outrage? This was streamed on phones by the terrorists to people in Gaza (who, reportedly, danced in the streets at the news of the slaughter): exactly what the Christchurch Call was set up to prevent.
And not a peep out of her.
This told us all we need to know about the fake person who parades as kind and caring. She is nothing more than a virtue signaller and worshipper of the dangerous DEI ideology. That was a major catalyst for resignation of the Scottish First Minister after the failure of his hate crime laws, and after the uproar caused by courageous J K Rowling saying the quiet part out loud (a man can’t actually change to a woman), which Jacinda considers ‘unsafe’ because it may offend the transgender community.
Not that you were informed about this resignation by the New Zealand media, who it seems, having run their sanitising ruler over the facts, found them too confronting or maybe ‘unsafe’ to report.
They are late adopters of the bare facts and were early adopters of Ardern’s DEI agenda, which they embraced with relish and still refuse to let go of.
Stuff seems to be the first online MSM outlet to use the term ‘anti Israeli protesters’ when referring to the riots in the US, as opposed to ‘pro Palestine’, the euphemistic term used by all New Zealand media to sugarcoat the reality.
These students are racist, anti Israeli, pro terrorism and pro Hamas.
Just like the Maori party and the Greens, who embarrassingly parade with their tea towels around their necks, ignorantly citing deadly anti Israeli rhymes which they defend as harmless.
With them is it pure racism and hatred or just abject stupidity? A bit of both?
Brownlee’s more lax approach to discipline and to rules on dress in the House has the unfortunate effect, when the cameras are on the Maori party in particular, of making one swear that the circus has come to town.
And his insistence on utter silence during questions, but letting mayhem commence from the Opposition benches during government answers is the polar opposite of the era of Speaker Mallard, who instilled fear, but at least kept order.
Back to unprofessional Genter, who may be a victim of this more lax environment.
Proof that it is actions not words which make us unsafe. Had she taken the more professional route and expressed her vehement opposition to the subject being discussed from her seat, she would not be in the unenviable position of having a privileges complaint laid against her by a fellow MP. With more possibly to follow.
However, Genter’s meltdown when she completely lost control and almost physically assaulted another MP shows us what is truly dangerous or ‘unsafe’.
And it is not words.
