We’re actually at a stage in our politics and society where someone like Georgina Beyer now wouldn’t even get selected, let alone win in her electorate
I don’t know how much people who are not in it realise just how far backwards we’ve gone. We may in fact have reached previously unplumbed depths

It’s a damn shame that our political environment has got so toxic that an MP needs to resign for the safety of their whānau
