Household Names, err not quite, oh a few reached the front page, however not for reasons noteable, alas. The superstitious amongst us might see number 13 as a portent, perhaps 12 and 12a should be considered.
James Shaw who arrived at the apex of Green Politics because it is alleged the chap with two “Mums” has an appendage in his groin area once deemed necessary for one of the two co-leadership roles, now abandoned in these confusing gender decision times and with two alleged Vagina owners s now holding supremacy.
Golriz Ghahraman had a bit of serious misfortune while out shopping for clothes in that it was alleged a Payment dispute led to a court appearance now postponed more times than a Bonspiel in the Maniototo, eventually pleaded guilty but not yet entered as a conviction for her shoplifting
A genuine tragedy when ex Auckland Mayoral Candidate to replace a chap Goff, who was off to London Town to be New Zealand High Commissioner to the Court of St James’s, died suddenly while engaging in a bit of electorate fun leaving three casualties from the above list.
Then in March some days prior to the “Ides”, very likely the possibly least known on the ‘List’ hit the headlines when it emerged she had a itsy bitsy link to a little immigration scandal involving family links to a bicycle shop that began on Waiheke Island, one Darleen Sheree Tana Hoff-Neilsen, a New Zealand environmental scientist, businesswoman, and politician, variously suggested with an on and off involvement in that e bike outfit.
after allegations of migrant exploitation relating to two workers including an Argentine man who complained about unpaid wages while working at Bikes and Beyond. The case is currently before the Employment Relations Authority while Darl Darleen may be still an employee of the NZ taxpayer
Tana and her husband Christian Hoff-Nielsen founded e-mobility firm Bikes and Beyond on Waiheke Island then expanded the operation across the Nation , there have been several little stories around when Darleen was, then Wasn’t involved in the employment affairs that had some creative methods alleged as to what pay and pay day meant and associated unusual remuneration methods involving a certain C Ash.
Back in the day such matters with the accompanying smell of nefarious goings on would have had wannabe Journalists in a fever but as someone the majority of them see as a victim of colonisation or other race based insinuation it has all gone eerily quiet.
AAh well I guess at the current rates of attrition Kair Lippiatt, he/she/whatever will be polishing that CV

She is MIA from the Greens MP list.
