Tory Whanau: Q&A interview 22.09.2024

For someone that's supposed to be a communicator, this was a bloody terrible interview.

That's why I want to vote her out.

-

She clearly doesn't have full support re: the airport shares.

Much like she didn't have the legal rights to my script.

Tory has to accept she lost that war, and pissed me off so much I actually want to take her down in 2025.

See: AMPP isn't just an anti-right wing party. We're focussed on the absurdities of the political process, and corruption across the board. The Greens certainly aren't immune from criticism, while Labour simply isn't registering currently.

That's why I called Chippy a nonentity: amazing politician, but they clutched at straws to make him relatable in 2023.

-

What can the Council and the other power-brokers in town do to make me less cranky?

VUW has to legally cease. Tory has to give up on Weeded Out and accept the result that providing my drafting documents proved that Wellington had no legal right to the script.

They should have simply bought it in April last year when I clearly articulated a cogent, valid position rooted in evidence and showbiz business sense.

-

I'm really not kidding re: my vendetta, and she's trying to make me out into some lone warrior.

No, I'm not. It's become increasingly obvious that the local arts community and other disaffected locals want me to say the shit they're too chicken to say.

She was expecting to count on my support following the hui, but miscalculated. Largely because it was obvious that they didn't believe my trans identity was valid because they'd never met me.

She's the one that made me go to this extreme of publicly shaming her for wasting 18 months of my life over a contract negotiation in which I was never presented with any cash offer for the script.

Now that they're finally willing to admit that they have to buy it, I refuse to sell it because I'm writing a novella based on that story. -

She's the one that told me to be a man. She authorised that hui, and the message was 'can't be trans because the drags are supreme and you're too ugly, but we loved you as a man.'

I expect an apology by the end of the year, Nadine.

She's trying to avoid it. It's seriously a non-negotiable outcome.

Put it this way: the Green Party wants me to come to Question Time, largely for Chlöe's sake. If Tory doesn't apologise, I'll continue my protest of not coming and complaining about how the city feels hostile thanks to the efforts of Wellington Green members.

-

You lot are trying to avoid this becoming news, but I think that this attempt to convert me to being a man and stealing my script should be news.

It represents a significant error in judgement, and demonstrates the self-satisfied cliquishness that the Green Party is famous for.

They're allowed to be as gay as they like, and I'm not? How logical is that position?? This turf war has been going on for years regarding trans vs. the corporate rainbows in Wellington, and has involved several groups boycotting Pride.

-

PS: suddenly remembered that Todd Stephenson is gay while watching the euthanasia interviews. So, I'm guessing that's our man in terms of advocating for the pro-rainbow, pro-trans, anti-NZ First agenda within the coalition.
