WHAT CAN ONE SAY?
Politics makes strange fellows? From protestor to political puppet? From rags to riches? And so much more.
I recently came across Planet B Media who is a prolific poster “https://www.facebook.com/newsscrub/” I get all his posts in my in box, so many that I can’t read them all. This one, however, caught my attention “https://www.indianweekender.co.nz/Pages/ArticleDetails/7/14842/New-Zealand/Was-Green-Party-MP-Ricardo-Menendez-also-on-fetch-your-partner-visit-overseas”

While our paid out MSM just focuses the light in one area….the Green MP brings his boyfriend also in with him though some back door unavailable to the public..At the same time another Green MP Chloé Swarbrick has thus far refused her constituent Dilip Rupa a meeting..Back to Ricardo though….how did he get a partner that never lived here a visa when you need to prove living together?? The Indian Weekender certainly asks some good questions.”However, what has escaped entirely from the public scrutiny is how he managed to bring his partner as well back into the country. “”The Indian Weekender had sent an enquiry to Immigration New Zealand and MBIE and to the office of Green Party co-leader James Shaw and Mr Menendez himself requesting more information and a response was awaited at the time of publishing of this story. 
The name Ricardo Menedez seemed familiar so I did a search for him “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Men%C3%A9ndez_March” and he is who I thought. This “Menéndez March is the coordinator for Auckland Action Against Poverty,[6] a role he took up in late 2017. A writer for Stuff described him in 2020 as “a thorn in the side of the Labour-led Government in the past few years”. In this role he had frequently appeared on television, radio, and quoted in newspapers – once a week on average, by his estimate – stating that the Government is failing the poor, that benefits are too low, that and housing is too expensive.” is the interesting bit. I had some contact with Auckland Action Against Poverty so I know a bit about them. It wuld be interesting to know, to me at least, how much, if ANY, of his $100,000.00 plus salary he donates to “AAAP” I also well remember, during his “active days” with AAAP how he would regularly “have a go” at carmel Sepuloni “https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/about-msd/ministers/index.html’ I suppose they are all “buddy buddy” now. Shows how principles can dissapear in favour of profitable political puppetism!
