  • Who polices the politicians? Lawrie Hooper on political accountability
    2025/09/17

    A Ramsey Commissioner has come under fire over comments she made on social media.

    In reply to a Facebook post about US political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead last week, Elizabeth Shimmin wrote he should "burn in hell".

    Her remarks drew criticism from MHK Stu Peters, who described them as "ignorant, crass and unnecessary".

    Ramsey Town Commissioners have said they’re aware of the matter and are making enquiries.

    The matter has been brought to the attention of Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper.
