I can only refer you to James' own statement on the matter, and the Te Aro branch haven't held their candidate selection yet.

… cross-post an important announcement. Stephanie Rodgers has been selected as… Green Party candidate for Ōhāriu. Stephanie is a communications expert and…
My god, a sensible post about trans issues on The Standard. I'll keep my good mood intact by ignoring the comments ...
This entire argument is completely nonsensical. If anyone of any gender or presentation walks into a changing room and poses an actual threat of harassment to the other people there, it makes no difference what their birth certificate says. And for a bunch...
"If this is true…why is it so damned important to have the indicator for biological sex altered on one's birth certificate?" Because trans people face immense levels of violence and discrimination in our society and having documents that don't match each ...
"a long list of mantras isn’t discussion. Transwomen are transwomen" Can you hear yourself? And comparing cis men's performance to cis women's performance has nothing to do with trans women. Unless you're saying they're "really" men, which is, ding ding! ...
Trans women are women, just as blonde women are women and fat women are women, and my feminism and womanhood do not suffer one jot from including them. In fact, excluding trans women from womanhood, on the grounds that womanhood is defined by biological ...
(re-submitting because I had mispelt the email address). When Wikleaks offered a reward for information on the murder of DNC staffer, Seth Rich, they were telling the world who the leaker of the Podesta emails is. They have never offered a reward before or...
Our Prime MInister should hang his head in shame! How hungry and cold do people have to be before they will go out there and vote against this heartless government. Remember the trouble the National Party have brought us and vote them out of power on ...
It takes a very special kind of person to categorise white supremacy as "opinions I don't like", PM, and that kind of person is "someone who doesn't face any threat from white supremacy and doesn't care about people who do." Muslims are not white ...
A number of them are Jewish, Cinny. They're pretty good at spotting people who want to literally exterminate them. You honestly want to say "oh, just join the group and make friends with the people who think you're subhuman, it's probably a ...
Your desire to downplay the threat of fascist groups and ride to their defence is firmly noted.
I'm just going to leave Popper's Paradox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance And a question, for everyone insisting that despite the incredibly obvious markers of white supremacy, we ~just don't know~ if this group is a racist ...
Didn't even mention Trump. Stop projecting your current fixations on everyone else.
It's not a "small thing" at all. It's panic-mongering which teaches people bad habits - "oh, I heard they ask "can you hear me", then it's a scam, but this lovely young man telling me to give him remote access to my computer sounds credible". And it has ...
I don't want to harp on about this, but it is serious. When people start believing absolute rubbish like "if someone records me saying 'yes' then they'll be able to steal money from me" which have no logic and no grounding in reality it means they're far ...
You know why "fake news" has become such a phenomenon, and we constantly ask ourselves why other people believe utter bullshit just because someone said it on TV? Because it's 2017 and people still spread crap like this without at least checking Snopes ...
Who said that was okay? Or are you just a sad little troll who wants to divert attention from important issues?
The what of the who?
Mate, I don't need to be a mechanic to tell when someone's trying to sell me a car with no engine.
I have this really, really out-there idea, millsy: read her actual writing before jumping to conclusions. https://deborahfrussell.net/
Thanks for letting us know how little you regard the safety of underage victims of sexual assault, Sanc.
God you're boring.
No thanks, Bill. You're smart enough to know exactly what you're doing - capitalising on people's lack of time, attention or inclination to wade through floods of conflicting, biased data, pushing them to sympathize with the people on the side of the fight...
Maybe I'm just an overly cynical America-worshipping shill of capitalism, but this is an odd post. It starts off with something which is guaranteed to find favour - a sweet old man opposing nuclear proliferation in the UK - and directly connects it to a ...
"Chaperoning is the only possible way of protecting a girl. " Because teaching men to be responsible for not assaulting people is way too hard. :roll:
The problem with this is a lot of people are acting like the Amy interview was the only bad thing Willie Jackson's ever done, or being criticised for. It's not, as Young Labour's open letter outlines. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/...
I guess this just means The Daily Blog received a copy ahead of any media or even the Party itself posting it online.
It's spelled POTO, for fuck's sake. I'd make a witty comment about how noticeable it is that the people on this thread most enthusiastic about telling a Cook Islands woman, with an MBA and a decade of experience in community health and family violence, to ...
I must note that credit for the excellent Waitangi Day bingo board above goes to @Megapope and @Coleytangerina, two excellent human beings. https://twitter.com/Megapope/status/827332716601319425 [I am very embarrassed. Graphic now credited appropriately - ...
It's only temporary and only applies to people who were in transit at the time the ban was made.
