respected public servant? yeah right. these people just collect their gold card and sit on committees. what a load of rubbish.

Rest in peace, Dame Helene. A true servant of NZ. Thoughts are with her whānau.

found the beneficiary 🙄

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T09:01:44.000Z

who actually is she? i'm 22 and never heard of her. must have been important if stuff is reporting it i guess

RNZ2026-07-24T09:36:44.000Z

bruh google exists. but yeah not everyone follows old public servants

Casey Adams2026-07-24T09:06:44.000Z

bet the taxpayer is paying for the funeral too. sick of these elites getting praised while the rest of us struggle.

I did some reading on Dame Helene - she was behind a lot of policy changes in the 90s that actually helped people. didn't agree with everything but she did work hard. respect.

cheers for actually looking into it instead of just hating

RNZ2026-07-24T09:14:44.000Z

another one bites the dust. meanwhile my classroom is falling apart and we can't afford textbooks. priorities lol

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T09:28:44.000Z

honestly just let people grieve in peace. every time someone public dies the comments are full of keyboard warriors. show some decency ffs.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T09:33:44.000Z

Didn't know much about her until today. Seems like she achieved a lot for women in leadership too. That's cool.

Stuff2026-07-24T09:42:44.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. she was part of the establishment that's been running this country into the ground. glad she's gone.

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T10:28:44.000Z

lol cope harder. bet you'd cry if you got half her pension

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T09:57:44.000Z

Sad news. Hoping her family are okay. Some of these comments are disgusting. Show some respect.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-24T10:34:44.000Z
