Wherever is Sam Uffindel - Lilith7 - 19-08-2023 Being kept away from the media it seems. Having explained how he ever so nobly does the shopping now & then to 'give his wife a break' he seems to be being kept at a distance from reporters. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300951135/searching-for-sam-why-is-national-shielding-tauranga-mp-sam-uffindell-from-the-media RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - Oh_hunnihunni - 19-08-2023 Don't be mean Lilith.

RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - harm_less - 19-08-2023 Usually MPs are so motivated to front up to the media as an election looms they just about have to be beaten off with a stick ![]() RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - Lilith7 - 19-08-2023 (19-08-2023, 12:16 PM)Oh_hunnihunni Wrote: Don't be mean Lilith.

I would suggest he doesn't care at all and that is quite evident in the sarcastic second paragraph. And the "journalist " may want to consider why his former colleague is ghosting him - couldn't be he knows just what kind of hack he is and the hatchet job he was hoping to score could it?

Its an election year - all reporters are digging in hopes of dirt wherever they can, whether or not there's anything to it is beside the point - have you perhaps not noticed. ![]() Mind you, the fact that he's already been in the news for one or two incidents doesn't hurt. Makes him 'newsworthy.' ![]() RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - Wainuiguy - 21-08-2023 (21-08-2023, 07:24 PM)Lilith7 Wrote:(21-08-2023, 07:15 PM)Wainuiguy Wrote: My question is why does this reporter care so much what a low level, first year MP has to say?

I think the "journalist " needs to stop being a whiney baby. Can't get an interview - let's do an "opinion" peice instead. RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - king1 - 21-08-2023 I think this line says it all Quote:It’s simple, says political strategist Matthew Hooton, National is worried Uffindell will stuff up again. But let's blame the "hack" journalist for daring to ask the question...

The only people who should be concerned about what Uffindell has to say or offer is Tauranga voters. Do you honestly care what a 1 year low level MP has to say? Oh crap sorry. Shouldn't be challenging you - it could obnoxious and result in another ban.

Do you honestly care what a 1 year low level MP has to say?yes I do because that 1 year low level MP could end up with a significant position at some soon to be determined point in the future... And I call BS - I could care less for instance what Tamiti Coffey has to say because I have little influence over him being elected. Again a low level MP. This journalist could go along to some of the public meetings and ask some questions - has he? No. As for him getting a high position I think he won't this term and if and when he does get higher position then journalists can question him then. RE: Wherever is Sam Uffindel - Oh_hunnihunni - 22-08-2023 You aren't suggesting that MPs only get challenged if and when they reach a higher position are you? Or should this only apply to the really dumb ones?

Once again, virtually all journalists are looking for something - anything - because there's an elction getting closer. A juicy scandal of some kind would suit them at the moment, & that's not peculiar to this election, but something which seems to happen every time.
