That's such a poor take on the JAG situation. A 2 sec search on Google reviews show the florist is well known for being extremely unpleasant (I'm refrain from saying unhinged because that's the go-to when describing women negatively). The reviews go back for years. Like the other shop owner in today's news, they both hate cycle lanes and any transport that isn't cars. I would expect to see this balance in the Spinoff. Julie Ann needed to apologise for what happened in the house, and she did. The rest is pure speculation and an unbalanced interpretation.
I am concerned about the orchestrated attack on JAG. There is a pattern developing here and I suspect that the Atlas Network has identified the Green Party as a serious threat to the current government and that governments’ policies. I am coming from a long and informed interest in politics from the time of Muldoon and was once very close to the workings. I mention this so I am not dismissed as some conspiracy nutter. However, what concerns me most is how our media seem complicit in this smear attack. Even I can see that these two reports from other aggrieved persons reinforcing an angry verbally aggressive and bullying JAG, are manufactured. These two people are right wing, anti cycling reactionaries. If Stuff is to have my support, and I desperately want to support you as you are the closest NZ has, to a media not totally captured by the right. It would require very little effort to background these people making this critique, in the interest of providing balance, but more importantly, in standing up to this wanton bullying of females in public positions. It must not be allowed to become the norm. NZ is better than this
Green bashing, bullying of women in public positions, one-sided commentary.. totally unprofessional stuff here. Yet the male govt MPs get away with outrageous comments, often very offensive, racist, rhetoric. I'm sure you could provide better narrative than this piece. #disappointed
