Trevor’s Chat
September 7th, 2011 at 4:48 pm by David FarrarWhale blogs:
Trevor Mallard is hosting a Live chat tonight at 7pm.
You can ask your questions & follow my answers via the ‘LabourLive tab’ on the New Zealand Labour Party Facebook page or by going here.
It is on from 7pm Wednesday for about 30min.
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to ask questions, like these suggestions:
- When you retire, which Labour MP do you think should inherit your seat?
- Who is a better leader, Helen Clark or Phil Goff?
- How do you think the Labour Campaign strategy is getting on?
- Do you think Paul Quinn’s list position is indicative of the lack of diversity in the National Party?
- Has he ever felt like hitting Tau Henare again?
- What’s more important; diversity or competence?
- Is 24 years in Parliament too long?
- Why do you think social media is more important than door knocking?
- Did Chris Carter get a fair trial, or has he been proved right?
- Was there ever an American bagman?
- Does you think Shane Jones will make a good Labour leader?
- What’s it like knowing you are going to lose the next election?
- Can he give an unconditional assurance to Hutt South voters that he will go full term if/when Labour loses, or should they vote for Paul Quinn?
- How many pairs of underpants has he stolen so far?
- Which polling company do you trust the most?
- What does Blue State Digital think about your social media strategy?
- Do you think Winston will get back in?
- Why did Winston lie to the select committee?
- Are you a member of the gaggle?
- Is there a meaningful role for a straight white male in modern Labour?
- Is Phil Goff a corpse-cuddler, just like Helen was?
- Will you apologise to Pansy Wong?
There are a few, I am sure loyal Army members can come up with a few more to fill in the 30 minutes.
Feel free to suggest your own questions below, or even better to login at 7 pm and ask them live.

Hmmm, fun questions, but I have a feeling there’ll be some heavy moderation!
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Some bastard blogger has previously claimed you were convicted for obscene language in 1971, what was that about? Were you pissed as a 17 year old?
Vote:And how many convictions do you actually have?
September 7th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
I think the questions reveal more about the questioner than anybody else.
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
If Mallard follows the example set by his (current) leader, then most likely the questioners will have been selected / the questions vetted and the answered prepared in advance.
The chances of a genuine, probing question being put to Mallard will be very, very low.

Do you think it is acceptable for an MP to vote to pass a law then claim it was too confusing to follow when caught breaching it ?
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
I simply can’t think of a single thing Trevor could enlighten me about. He’s a nowhere man.
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Question 1:
Trevor, if you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Question 2:
Trevor, it is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three candidates.
Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with an astrologist. He’s had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C.
He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, only drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be your choice?
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Vote:Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

Total fucking rubbish from Trevor.One dick asked if he was wearing a helmet – not now. What a timewasting tosser, all be design of course. Trevor also seems to think WhaleOil has a crush on him!!
Cock out of the hand Trevor, he was not looking at your arse in that bike race
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
Come on Steve, you must give a little credit to Malard for answering questions – most of those above have been asked and answered.
And you’re right about Cam not looking at his arse – he was way too far behind to get a look see.
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I think that’s a very good effort from Mallard. He seems to be having a reasonable attempt at all the questions put to him and they sound like honest answers.
Much better than the Goff effort I saw a couple of weeks ago,
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Here are some interesting Q&As
The still clink to that one.
Yeah, right. The need a total rethink.
Prepared to own up.
Hoping to cobble together a coalition with Labour smaller than National.
So he fancies being speaker. Not sure how he’d go at that.
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Funny, I just read this on WhaleOil. It’s almost as if DPF has no ideas of his own…
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
Trevor has taken a step that wouldn’t impress his previous leader and has admitted mistakes. Big ups to Trevor for that.
Vote:September 7th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
If they were in power would they be admitting the mistake? Or would they still be insisting it was the right thing to do.

Scott Chris (808) Says:
Trevor, if you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Trevor, if you knew a woman who was pregnant with a child, who will become a decorated war hero, a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, only drinks an occasional beer and will never cheat on his wife, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
If you said YES, you just killed Hitler. Fuck yeah.
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 1:17 am
@Scott Chris
Question 1: A politician would never recommend a woman have an abortion. That isn’t their job.
Question 2: No intelligent person would select a world leader without an indication of what they stood for.
Retarded.

Kimble
Good point. He would have just told us to move on.
ephemera
This is Trevor we are talking about – they guy who voted to pass the EFA hen claimed it was confusing and he couldn’t be blamed for not understanding it…. no intelligent person would vote for a law they couldn’t understand knowing they would be be bound by it… Oh hang on – he was in Clark’s government which acted above the law and told us to move on !

BlairM – “Funny, I just read this on WhaleOil. It’s almost as if DPF has no ideas of his own…”
For someone who once had political aspirations, you’re not really bright, are you? Read the top of the thread just under “Trevor’s Chat” and you will see it says: “Whale blogs:” (with a link to the…. Whale blog…)
Pffttt.
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 8:10 am
Thing is, I would have recommended killing Beethoven and electing Hitler. Just thought the questions were funny.
I like Trev, cause he punched Tau and made Whale Oil blubber.
Perhaps a better question would have been:
“What would you do if Alien Zombies invaded?”
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 8:32 am
Sent a txt to Clark telling her to get back to NY !
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 9:33 am
Scott Chris – you’ll need to explain when in what universe Trev made Whale Oil blubber?
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 9:36 am
I have some questions for Trevor:
Do you believe convicted paedophile Peter Ellis received a fair trial and has he received justice? If so, why?
What (if anything) would cause Labour to establish a wide ranging inquiry into the Ellis case, bearing in mind that the Court of Appeal on four separate occasions indicated that a Commission of Inquiry was the appropriate course of action?
If Labour was presented with evidence which suggested that Ellis was wrongly convicted, what would its response be?

Well first of all I can name you 122 people who are dumber than I am, and they all have “MP” after their name. To be one of those, one has to be either stupid or crazy, and I only fall into the latter category. Second of all, you can’t be all that bright yourself, because that was my whole point! What is the purpose of a straight copy and paste of what someone else is doing on their own blog, without adding anything of value yourself? None at all, especially when it is WhaleOil, who has entirely adequate readership figures and does not need Farrar to give him a booster. It’s pretty lazy blogging as far as I am concerned.
Vote:September 8th, 2011 at 10:12 am
Glad Blair is concerned, I just checked around my office and building to see if anyone else is concerned that a blog owner put whatever he chooses onto his blog site.
Gueeeeeessssss what…….. Not a soul gave a fat rats bottom.
Vote:September 9th, 2011 at 4:21 am
lofty – I think that is the problem – nobody cares. You don’t care, I don’t care, DPF clearly does not care or he would have added something interesting of his own to what Whale said. It would be nice to have something to care about, which is the job of the blogger.
Vote:September 9th, 2011 at 8:14 am
Gee Lofty – what a good idea. I’ve just asked around the office here, too. Nope – no-one gives a hoot here either. Opinion seems to be that DPF can post whatever he likes on his own blog. And I don’t think he needs a job description either. Funny that.
Of course, if BlairM doesn’t like what he sees on Kiwiblog, then he can simply stick to his own blogging efforts and Foxtrot Oscar.
Another simple solution to a simple problem.
Vote:September 10th, 2011 at 8:08 am
You gave a hoot enough to ask around your office, dumbarse.
Vote:September 10th, 2011 at 8:12 am
Mallard is such an arse. Suppose that given Labours dreadful polling he may as well get his jollies where he can tho.
