From David Farriers Webworm today -
"Not to make it political, but New Zealand is preparing to elect some knob-heads of its own. There’s National leader Christopher Luxon, a man previously tied to pentecostal Auckland church the Upper Room — a man who claims his religious beliefs don’t colour his politics. I call bullshit on that. When your ethics and morals exist to guarantee you a spot in Heaven and the afterlife — those ethics and morals play out in all aspects of your life. Including your politics. Your soul depends on it.
Then there’s the Act party’s David Seymour, the kiwi politician with Trump’s ability to get maximum media pickup for a variety of shitty racist jokes and views."
I did not know that. The bit about that pentecostal stuff...
