“Bad-Taste Award: Those labelling Auckland Central as the “battle of the babes””
I agree that anyone thinking Jacinda Ardern is a babe has bad taste.

Award for the most boring opinion writer int he NZ media- Matt McCarten.
A predictable communist drone.
Only a disreputable organisation like the NZ Herald would give space to such a lame partisan buffoon.

Can’t agree with Matt that describing two attractive women as babes is “Neanderthal silliness.” The word Neanderthal might be apt in describing people who would sneer at someone for having a stammer, though.

Pete Hodgson a Giant killer? Really?
Is the Ministry of Womans Affairs really so huge?

Forget this nonsenese – http://monkeyswithtypewriter.blogspot.com/2010/12/mwt-2010-awards-phil-goff-wins.html – this is the ony real guide in town . . . Thnx Lee MWT
PS I must have very bad taste which is why I included jacinda as ‘Sexiest Politician’ and decorated my page not once, but twice with an image of her indescribabeble loveliness. Neanderthal? – hell perhaps – simain certainly – but anyone with a nodding acquaintance with archeology will attest that Neanderthals were a possibly a sensitive and enduring species who ill-deserve our rather dismissive judgements of them, whereas certain of us chimps will hunt down little monkeys and devour them while they are still tepid.

@LeeC, agree that Jacinda appears to have a very nice demeanor. Some who make less than flattering comments about her appearance might feel more at home looking at pictures of sour-faced lemon suckers.
