Ah yes, the classic 'shoot, shag, marry' controversy. Because nothing says quality journalism like turning politicians into a game of cards. 🙄

what a load of shit. paul henry is just trying to stay relevant by dragging everyone else down with him.

lol get a grip, it's just a bit of banter.

Lol Hipkins chose to 'kick' Seymour? That's the most interesting thing I've seen from a politician in ages. Maybe they should do this every week instead of question time.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T10:17:20.000Z

hard agree. 'shoot, shag, marry' is so high school. what a joke.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T10:07:20.000Z

Bit of fun, lighten up everyone. We all know politicians play games behind closed doors anyway, at least this one is public.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T10:40:20.000Z

ffs, is this really what our news has come to? 'shoot, shag, marry' with politicians? Get stuffed Paul Henry.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T11:16:20.000Z

lol facts. at least it's not boring like most of their press releases.

i bet if you asked seymour he'd choose 'kick' for hipkins too. they both probably want to boot each other off an island.

Jordan Bell2026-07-23T11:49:20.000Z

yeah but it's fun to watch the oldies get offended over nothing 😂

Just another reminder that NZ politics is basically reality TV now. But hey, maybe that's what keeps people interested?

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T11:49:20.000Z

honestly im just here for the comments. this is gold. 'kiss, marry, kick' is the new 'rock, paper, scissors' for the Beehive.

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T12:02:20.000Z

same, i just came for the salt in these comments. worth it.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T12:00:20.000Z

imagine being a politician and knowing your reputation is reduced to who'd 'shag' you. what a weird timeline.

Blake Turner2026-07-23T12:24:20.000Z

Outrage over nothing. It's a silly game, nobody actually means it. Go find something real to be angry about.

Noah Bennett2026-07-23T12:41:20.000Z

says the one who clicked on the article... you're part of the problem lol.
