New Zealand's incoming prime minister has vowed to protect his family from what he called the "abhorrent" abuse that his predecessor, Jacinda Ardern, received while in office.

Chris Hipkins, who was speaking on Sunday after MPs from his ruling Labour Party voted unanimously to endorse him, said a "small minority" of Kiwis were responsible for abusing Ms Ardern.

He said that "it does not represent who we are as a country".

Men had a responsibility to call out misogyny, he added.

He said he realised that putting himself forward as leader meant that he was "public property" - but that his family were not, and he wanted his children to have a "typical Kiwi kid life".

Police also had to investigate after handwritten fliers vowing to "eradicate" Ms Ardern were delivered to several homes in January 2022.

Radio New Zealand spoke to a former intelligence worker, Paul Buchanan, who said he believed Ms Ardern would need more ongoing security and protection than any former New Zealand prime minister.

Mr Hipkins, 44, was New Zealand's Covid response minister

As Harry Truman said, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Neither Ardern nor Hipkins seems to have the thick skin required for their chosen profession.

The opposition in New Zealand which likely will win the election in October on the basis of economic conditions alone was for the COVID shots.

One “Conservative” politician who gets puff pieces about him posted here from time to time is named David Seymour of the ACT Party.

David Seymour “Conservative” New Zealand politician told people “Don’t be a *ickhead, get vaxxed”.

“it’s not who we are”

Multiple meanings:

1. We have to admit people from countries that sponsor terrorism
2. We have to admit illegals no matter what but legal travelers must be vaccinated
3. We have to allow for ballot harvesting
4. We have to disarm our citizens
5. We have to allow people unfettered access to abortion
6. We have to allow people from Covid hotspots into our country, unless said country is an ally
7. We can’t allow states to require voter ID
8. I’m tired of writing. If you wish to continue you may...

I told my friend that she decided to not pursue another term because she was under numerous legitimate threats to her and family from her totalitarian rule. I guessed correctly that this is what convinced her.

She was going to get ‘CeauÈ™escu’ed’.

When you are a tyrant, it is normal to have interest in assassinating you or family members.

This may be a sign that New Zealanders have had enough of the WEF tyranny.

Jacinda got elected on a green platform and then imposed a CCP tyranny. I hope New Zealanders can free themselves in October.
