Former MP Jackie Blue has resigned from the National Party, saying the government’s handling of pay equity legislation was the decisive factor behind her departure.
Blue said changes under the Equal Pay Amendment Act 2025, which halted dozens of claims affecting female-dominated sectors, represented a serious failure of political leadership and unfairly impacted around 180,000 workers, most of them women.
She accused MPs of dismissing affected workers and criticised the parliamentary process as being used against those seeking redress.
Blue will now join The Opportunities Party as a mentor to new leader Qiulae Wong, while former Labour MP Iain Lees-Galloway also continues advising the party.
Hope The Opportunities Party urgently and publicly states their position on the current illegal American-Israeli attacks on Iran so I can decide whether to ignore or glance at their media.
Yes, purity testing everyone and everything through your personal ideologies is a brilliant way to go through life.
If personal ideologies have been shaped by purity testing themselves I can’t see anything wrong with this stance.
Anybody with half a brain and a quarter heart will be able to oublicly state a position to this attack, an assault in most egregious violation of many international statutes.
RE Opportunities party? For once a fitting name me thinks🤣
More opportunities for megalomanic goody two-shoe know-it-all self-serving psychopaths.
lol, “share my opinion or you have half a brain and a quarter heart”.
No.
Well it can only be a step up from the globalist parties. Let hope more people with a conscience defect from all of them and the remnants go down with the political ship.
There cannot be a step-up from a swamp.
Former Nat, advised by Labour, WTF?
And it’s way too late for ‘conscience’ to babble it’s way back into governance.
We The People are sick and tired of bullshititians.
I want to see ARRESTS (but we’ll probably see the Loch Ness monster first)
Feminism is cancer
Evident by the NZ birthrate, many women are finding it difficult to find a male partner who is willing to be subjected to giving away half his property, belongings and extreme taxation.

Formal relationship contract in must be made mandatory. That may go someway to curbing this made-up wealth redistribution.
In the meantime, short relationships or none at all.

And avoid driving, if ya can.

Well said, and used to divide us like race sex wealth on and on it goes.
Divide and conquer.
