#PhilGoff is correct. I can only conclude from this that NZ's disastrous far-right coalition government is openly pro-Trump and therefore also pro-Putin. #winstonpeters shames every Kiwi with this decision. #auspol #nzpol

#PhilGoff knows the Russia Delegation can be removed by a simple majority General Assembly vote to unblock the UN.
Yet he tells no one.
He is complicit in genocide.

I know one is supposed to be indignant at Phil Goff's sacking, but the truth is that he's on manoeuvres. Which is fair enough, given the shitty state of Aotearoan politics.

Pathetic behaviour from New Zealand, sacking their most senior envoy to the UK because he questioned trumps grasp of history. Clearly NZ are trump appeasers. Gutless cowards. #PhilGoff #NewZealand #NZGutlessCowards #trump #trumpDraftDodger #ShameOnNewZealand

#WinstonPeters has lashed out at #Maori, our #media, #PhilGoff, our #PublicService and this.
