Politics šŸ—³ļø NZ Politics

Well depends on what you think is an MPā€™s role in regards to their constituents?

I have personally approached MPā€™s over issues when the system doesnā€™t respond and it is their job to act on your behalf.

Quotes:
ā€˜Mr Polkinghorne has approached me feeling he has no other avenues to pursue.ā€™

Seems to be a valid reason for an MP to ask some questions in a democracy.

Seymourā€™s letter accused police of inappropriate practices: It said Polkinghorne had been left by police unshowered, hungry, thirsty, distressed, alone and ā€œtrappedā€ inside a locked police car for 15 minutes on the day of his wifeā€™s death. He also alleged police did not inform the doctor of his legal rights. The Epsom MP also criticised police for contacting Polkinghorneā€™s private psychologist to ask for his diagnosis. He criticising police for denying family access to Hannaā€™s toxicology and autopsy results

Honestly seems some of these things should be looked into as even prisoners have rights and they are damning on police if true.

This shouldnā€™t even have been made public (unless itā€™s a media hit job). Real media would find out if those issues bought up were valid and what was the outcome because the allegations are more serious than an MP getting involved.
I just think it is an odd thing to associate his name and brand with. It was clear the popo had question marks and I personally would have given it a swerve if I was Seymour

Having said that, and as guilty as Polky was, he was found not guilty, so itā€™s not a biggie. Just an oddity

One of the many things is - these are mps actively directing police. That's corruption in my book.

I came across the bloke while I was on holiday, I think heā€™s moved to the area or at the least has a holiday house there. Nice part of the world, certainly a lot better than a prison cell.

Polkinghorne donated to Act.

The last line of the statement says as much.
Donors exerting influence is a really story.

As for all the teeth gnashing and crying about a media hit job. It's kind of pathetic when the same week the Tim Ago story breaks so does Seymour's engagement puff piece appears.

Act use the media just like all parties. Interesting JA copped so much for her marriage articles but nothing to see here.
Like Maybetop8 says - there is a lot of hypocrisy in this thread (not you this time though @defensivebomb)

Do you get to Aitutaki at all? That place is stunning although our youngest turned 2 when we were there a few years back so not quite as relaxing as it could have been.
Havenā€™t got thereā€¦. Yet!

We have this spot around from Muri lagoon where the cruises go to snorkel that we swim at. Perfect!

Plus the people and the laidback atmosphere make the place special.

Would be a real shame if things were to change from the way they are regarding our relations. We canā€™t compete with what China offers financially and need to be mindful of that, so comes the need for other incentives to look within regarding Pacific relations as a region
