If your politics have become “We must do fascism-lite, or the fascists will win”, then the fascists have already won.
This is political blackmail dressed up as pragmatism. Justifying their nasty policies with “Reform will be worse”.

Another of those oh so rare bad apples.
"Questions to the IPCA at the time noted that it was understood the officer had been stood down pending an investigation into his alleged inappropriate behaviour with female officers."
NOTE: female officerS, plural
Yet the investigation has gone nowhere after THREE YEARS!!!

The offending is widespread and it's clear that the legal system is not up to the task of dealing with it.
If you can be considered prominent in any way, and the bar for prominence is low (sitting on a few boards is enough), you're going to be treated with all the leniency possible.

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.
More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.
There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

As long as we continue to view management and leadership as about control and status laddering, rather delivering results and elevating those around us, we will continue to incentivise unsuitable and sometimes downright broken people to cling to power.
