Winston Peters has moved to distance Chris Hipkins’ former wife Jade Paul from New Zealand First, saying reports suggesting she currently works for the party are false.
In a statement and subsequent social media post, Peters said he would not be drawn into commenting on Hipkins’ personal circumstances, but wanted to correct what he described as misinformation circulating publicly.
“We are not interested in a politician’s current personal relationship issues and won’t be commenting at all on the matter – apart from the fact that there are lies now being spread including that the person involved works for New Zealand First – this is false,” he wrote.
Peters said Paul “does not work for New Zealand First nor has any affiliation or role with New Zealand First,” adding that she had previously worked “for a short period of time in an office then left amicably for another role around a year ago.”

It is understood Paul had previously worked as a ministerial adviser for Casey Costello.
Peters said no further comment would be made by his party, writing: “We are not saying anything further on the matter – we have serious national and international concerns that we have to deal with.”
Not voting for any of the globalist parties, I simply don’t trust them.

Sometimes the PTB use a pretext of rumour to try and discredit a party or person into a false prosecutable offence via ‘fake representation’.
It’s a weaponised tactic that is used quite often to create diversions whilst targeting a person or affilated parties towards a false representation or pretense.
One person I kknow got a knock on the door by the cops wanting to ask questions relating to a claim the he worked for a politician in Canty. The person and his wife had been targeted behind the scenes for disenfranchisement (ie being denied ACC help on an on-the-job injury, unable to find work post their last civil and employment rights-violating jobs, sinister approaches to their child, etc.) When they sought the help of NZ First and a National Party Rep in Rangiora, they were told by the latter that they had better shut-up lest they become known as “The rif-raff of Rangiora!” (ACTUAL QUOTE!!!). NZ First never ackonwledged them, and they quit their membership with NZ First.
Fortunately, they are now members of the up-and-coming NZ Loyal Party, and are highl motivated to flush the political and social toilet that targets good people for standing up for their human, civil, patient and employment rights!
So far, Lex Luxon, See’Mo, Chippy, Winnie and the Red Greenies have yet to declare an economic emergency by placing price caps on commodities, food and medicines, nor have they even tried to secure emergency funding to re-open and modernise Marsden Point.
We still cannot understand why the petrol prices suddenly jumped here when there is an ample supply of the same. Just two years ago NZ Oil & Gas declared that NZ had 300+ years of oil, and 450 years of gas in their fields.
Now, this is apparently a contrived effort AT PRICE GOUGING USING THE ILLEGAL WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST TO JUSTIFY THE SAME!

I think Hipkins day is over. Next circus performer on this list is Carmel Sepuloni.
Another advocate for women’s rights. A woman who forgets, we don’t need you.
Clearly women haven’t worked out why men are not interested in being deceived and ripped, and the birth rate is 1.5 and dropping.
The only way forward was to protect every person’s rights regardless of gender.
