Labour. Please remember thiese guys will hunt you down and inject you.
Living next door to an olympic sized swimming pool full of sloshing human excrement would be more pleasant than having that list of serpents anywhere near you
Sophie Hanfords claim to fame is that she was the deciding vote on the Kapiti coast to raise rates 17%!
She went from high school to uni to council and hasn’t worked for anything other than tax/ratepayer funded jobs in her life yet.
Also add in there that she wonders why people don’t listen to her and thinks young women should be listened to more often. (And counts Jacinda ardern as her hero).
Seriously these people are unfit and unqualified to hold public office.
If we had media reporting on the purposefully hidden risks of comirnaty to youth, before the 2 shots for summer campaign they would be lucky to win 15 seats
