Even Hipkins acknowledges they had some pretty crummy ideas leading up to the election, why do you think they’ve dropped no GST on fresh fruit as a policy?

They dropped the policy because the businesses pushed back against it. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good policy.

And how is singling out one ethnic group for causing violence in the world not racist?

She didn't do that though. Ironically this is a perfect illustration of the phrase "white fragility". Your fragile ego broke when your identity was criticised. Identity politics in action right here.
