You absolutely nailed it Matua. Suspect the only people who would buy a copy of Time would be those who appeared on the front cover so that they could frame it. The magazine itself has now gone to be yet another publication that most would ignore for its content.
I’ve never bought a copy of Time Magazine in my life. The last time I read it was in my doctor’s waiting room, and that was just because it was slightly better than Women’s Day.
Anything is better than having to read about Jay-Jay Feeney and her Algerian boyfriend, which is clearly a total scam but is spun as a love story, or a Black Fern I’ve never heard of having her third child with her third baby daddy, or Jacinda being photographed buying a caramel frappe in a Subway in New York, or Nadia Lim juggling a farm and a cookbook at the same time, or Hilary Barry’s trip to Sudan where she handed water to a thirsty chilld.
I could honestly go on and on, none of those stories are true... apart from the first one, but that's pretty much the shit that Women's Day pushes out.
Very true. Woman's Day insults the intelligence of any thinking woman.
Enjoyed your post - completely nailed it as regards to Hana. However, I think I'll wait & see before acknowledging she has potential as a politician. She's got a huge hill to climb before I would!
Honestly, I’m not sure she has the potential yet. She’s far too young for politics. The adult brain isn’t fully developed until around 30, according to Google. Having a seat in parliament at 23 is a joke.
Time mag is so ideologically driven it’s ridiculous. So left Democrats looney it deserves and will suffer the same fate as CNN etc TVNZ RNZ…all those acronyms
TIME = Totally Irrelevant (illogical/indoctrinating) Media Escapism
They also gave considerable play to Jim Anderton many years ago didn't they? Anderton seemed like a not bad sort of bloke from across the ditch. He never made PM though as they were predicting. This Hana girl has a very long way to go. Their DEI team probably liked the look of her and she IS provocative which as we all know is the ultimate "click-bait" of the modern age. My all time favourite on her was Matt Walsh's piece though......shameful but also hysterical.....https://youtu.be/Pl1iZbqlN7c?si=Ql8C1Kr4344FMy1m
I genuinely hope Hana has a bright future in politics, but she needs to start thinking for herself instead of parroting the blatant racists leading TPM. She’s far too young for politics, though she fits right in with a party obsessed with theatrics and TikTok moments. To be fair, she probably has a higher IQ than Irish Deb and Halfwiti - combined.
Matt Walsh, on the other hand, is great. He’s one of those blokes who just calls it as he sees it, never afraid to speak the truth no matter who it offends.
Thank you David - your link is worth watching for the 1920s jazzed-up remix of the haka. Absolutely priceless. I say this as someone who knows her whakapapa and who is sick to the back teeth of the histrionics etc of TPM.
Thanks Aroha. We who know the true beauty of this place that lies within country and people are never fooled by the antics of politics. That is my hope anyway.
I was literally just reading about this on another site (in a rather “WTF” way I have to say!) when your post popped up.
What exactly has she done? Broken the NZ Parliament House rules in her little Haka performance. That’s what got her noticed by Time magazine. Yet another formerly worthwhile publication that has gone to the dogs.
They actually have so much potential, but with separatist thinking and only caring about filling their wallets, oh, and we can’t forget their families too, they won’t make whāk all of a difference.
When I first saw it I thought it was a joke. OMG! Was it the truck that was repossessed and pretty much wrecked the one they used for promoting her? If so, pity Time didn’t know about that.
I think you might be confusing it with Oriini Kaipara. The truck that was repossessed was used for by-election campaign marketing. In the end, it turned out to be a fairly innocent situation. Te Pāti Māori never owned the truck; the owner sadly passed away and the payments fell behind.

Haha - that would be me too! Never have bought the mag.
Only just slightly better!

I cancelled my subscription years ago and no matter how many free, inscribed pens and what-have-you they offered me to renew, there was no going back.

Thanks for the link, that was vintage Matt Walsh. Hilarious.

She actually hasn't done anything else. That's it. That's her legacy. Ripping some paper, doing a haka and going viral - very childish.
Rather like her co-party mates!

Oops sorry I got it wrong. The info I had was incorrect. Will do a bit more digging next time. My apologies to all concerned.
You’re fine, Denise! No need to apologise.
The magazine that voted Greta Thunberg Person of the Year for 2019 🤦.
I forgot about that one!
"and then did a gay little dance"
Made me spit my beer through my nose.
You owe me a lion red Matua!
I couldn’t find a better substitute for the word happy… lol.
