Tsk tsk

Labour’s Rotorua candidate decided to park their car on the footpath. Obviously rules are just for everyone else.

Given a National Party candidate was repeatedly shamed for legal parking a couple of elections ago, perhaps Ben Sandford would have been more circumspect.

Katrina Bungard’s shaming is here:

The entitled has always been Labour’s way a rule for themselves but different for others , just another example of the hypocriticy that exists in this rotten, corrupt politically naive Government.

Why not just say ‘decided to park HIS car’ instead of ‘their’ as the gender of the candidate is known and the sentence did not include multiple people (candidate rather than candidates). This woke Stuff has really overrun the internet

  Nothing woke about it. You’ve taken an innocent statement from DPF and decided to attribute it to the trans community.

To be honest, I’m surprised anyone is still prepared to have their face and name associated with the Labour Party. Who in their right mind would want to have their reputation tarnished by association with the biggest failure of a government this country or possibly the world has ever seen!

There is no such thing as bad publicity. Donald Trump will verify that. Within minutes of his court mug-shot being taken, it became embedded into his campaigning.

Is it an electric car with the battery run out of huff and puff – or just the candidate?

This is petty — put your efforts into calling out the economic and social destruction of NZ that Labour has championed for the past six years — not a minor parking violation.

  It’s a little bit of fun, if you can’t have a laugh at each other now and then society truly is screwed.

  It is not petty. I know a lot of wheelchair users who I have met through adaptive sport. The unobstructed use of the footpath is vital to them. He’s parked there so he doesn’t have to walk, obstructing those who cannot walk.

Is that the parking area at the golf club?

Mixing and mingling over 18 hole and then the 19th outweighs any abiding by road rules at election time.

  And surely that is not a (drumroll please) cycle way that the Labour Party candidate has parked his car on?

I actually don’t care if he was there doing something, but a buck gets ten that has been parked there by a staffer as advertising, with the consent of local authorities

It takes a special kind of stupid to still do this sort of thing, given past precedent.
Just tattoo ‘kick me’ on your back and be done with it.

Seems a self-entitled behavioural trait, not unlike Labour’s ethnic supporters parking in disabled carparks without permits, but with impunity.
Authorities seem to turn a blind eye to this type of abuse . . . don’t think it is in TOW settlements!

Some years ago, possibly when he was still leader, I encountered Andrew Little in the carpark of Classic Flyers in Mt Maunganui. He had driven in the wrong way, stopped his car in the middle of a narrow one-way exit, and was unloading some stuff no doubt for a presentation he was about to make.

You know how just after the moment has passed, you think of the right thing to say? I wish I’d said, “That’s typical. You’re going the wrong way and you’ve blocked all progress – sounds about right.”

The Labour candidate must be taking campaigning advice from Tamati Coffey.

In his defence it is safer to drive on the footpath, less potholes and better maintained.

Seems to be a common thing though parking on the footpath at that market looking at their Facebook page

At least he isn’t driving a double-cab ute or SUV without the “proper” primary industry credentials, like McAnulty and a Coffey and half of the rest of then…

How hard is it? Candidates have surely been told, “You’re all under the microscope: by our supporters, our opponents and the media.

You must be squeaky clean. Follow all the rules, think twice before acting, and above all don’t be a dickhead.”

It’s not rocket science.
