Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Frustration: that we seem to punish certain people for transgressions against government rules and not others. (This government rely knows how to show off inequality).

I was reading (admittedly just the article title...) about how over 50% of voters support the government's plan to boot opposition MPs out of parliament for weeks. It made me wonder what context they give people before asking.

If the question was phrased "Do you support a punishment for Te Pāti Māori MPs that is 7 times harsher than the most severe punishment ever handed down in parliament?" do you think people would still support the governments' actions?
