The kindest thing I've ever heard anyone say about her was "she stabs from the front".
Very nasty individual.
Anyone remember the Civilian headline from when she was running for PM in 2020?
Collins ‘popped in’ to Anglican church to briefly threaten God before voting
Sorry mate, but she'll be doing a lot more damage from her new position. This is nothing to celebrate, unfortunately.
AI slop description of the law commission:
Overview of the New Zealand Law Commission
The New Zealand Law Commission, known as Te Aka Matua o te Ture, is an independent body established to review and recommend reforms to the laws of New Zealand. It was formed on February 1, 1986, under the Law Commission Act 1985. The Commission's main goal is to ensure that the laws are modern, accessible, and effective.
Key Functions
- Law Reform: The Commission identifies areas of law that need improvement and proposes solutions.
- Public Consultation: It engages with the public to gather input on legal issues before making recommendations.
- Advisory Role: The Commission advises the government on legal matters and potential reforms.
So she can still do a lot of damage by recommending shitty law to the government of the day.
She absolutely will do a lot of damage. She'll be editing and signing off on any laws and regulations passed. She'll be passing all of National's dogshit fast track, RMA and local government reforms from last year.
She will also be able to screw us regardless of who wins the next election. If National wins, she can quickly pass any half baked law they come up with. If Labour wins she can block everything they do.
This is why it's generally not the done thing to put ex politicians in this role. Especially not ones with her track record.
I see nothing to celebrate here. We're fucked.
I'm just surprised she didn't go into a cushy contract job with one of their big donors.
Too toxic for even that
Her husband is Samoan.
Kia ora and welcome to the NZ Politics community!
