My own wording ... particularly the nobody part ... was wrong.
Perhaps ... the vocal minority The ("I know my rights") brigade didn't like it ..
But ... was it not the view of the majority "Protesting" in Wellington .. ??
Those NOT in the "Essential Industries" were at that point. Those still able to continue working ... had to follow the rules though. Most of the latter already had been informed on what conditions they could continue to work. The company I work for had been.
I only had one week off ... before I was back working. The same pay always in my account every week.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
Hi Fraser, what you have missed is tldr is on record as saying a female who is pregnant should not be the prime minister on acccount of her "being pregnant."
Amongst other sexist religious other racist twaddle he has peddled, so i would say its pretty valid comment Pritch made. wherever you agree or not. Its such simple math so that possibly even R650r could add it up.

Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
As opposed to McDonalds, cigarettes, alcohol, vaping, [continue list to whatever level of class A drug pushes your buttons] . Many people will do some, or up to all of those , and then get all sanctimonious about an actual medicine with a shit ton of research. So yeah, I do think the consequences on society of opting out are selfish.
If we hadn't had passports and mandates the vax rate would very likely be lower, like most other countries. And the bigger fallout of people who wouldn't get cancer treatment for instance if the hospital system was even worse affected.
I dont think arguments about personal liberty are that compelling in comparison.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
How is this even comparable? All those things are personal choices, whether right or wrong. That's their choice to make.
Yes you can argue their reasons are selfish, but I think you'd find it very difficult to find anyone who hasn't acted in a similar way before. I remember being before a judge due to excessive speed in my early years who was describing my riding as 'selfish without care of the consequences to other road users'
And you're welcome to hold that opinion, and I would not judge nor criticise you for doing so. My opinion differs but that's all they are, opinions. Ultimately they're meaningless.
And what is your point? That there is someone opposed to Jacinda because she's female? So what? I never said there wasn't any, so I don't see what relevance you mentioning one by name has. It has no bearing on the point I was making with regards to the quote Pritch posted.
But I suspect you already were aware of that.
My point is the exact person pritch was responding to (which was tldr)was on record as being opposed to the PM being a woman as she happened to be a women who was pregnant. It was a dig at this attitude.
for some reason, you are missing this?

So.... Is Justin Trudeau a Woman?
Or what about the article posted by Husaberg from 100+ years ago in the UK, was that being told to do by a Woman?
Cut the Sexist Crap, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Gender and has everything to do with infringing on individual rights. It's wrong regardless of who does it.

Given how she's been an absolutely terrible Prime Minister, despite all the Media Fawning, despite inheriting a country that is geographically perfect for resisting a pandemic - that at every opportunity she's infringed on individual rights and liberties, she's failed on every policy she's attempted to deliver - including the ones that I at least agree with the sentiment (if not the stated reasons and solutions).
I'd say on hindsight, that being pregnant was the least of her issues, being an incompetent Socialist (but I repeat myself) who should never have been let anywhere near the leaders of Power (thanks Winston - how's retirement and the decimation of NZ First going?) is more pressing.
Edit: And just for the record (since I know you are going to continue to play the Sexist card) - I'm quite the fan of Margaret Thatcher who also had children. But she didn't have them after she became PM. In fact, both her children were Adults by the time she became PM.
