Has anybody else noticed Cameron Slater still obsessing over Jacinda Ardern? The disgraced Whale Oil blogger seems to have made it his life’s mission to shadow the former Prime Minister of New Zealand like some unhinged stalker lurking in the digital bushes.The man’s obsession with Ardern isn't just unhealthy...it’s downright disturbing, and it’s time we call it out for what it is: a ideologically driven vendetta that’s crossed into creepy online abuse territory. If you’ve followed Slater’s track record, you’ll know this isn’t just his political critique of current affairs; instead it’s personal, vindictive, and reeks of someone who can’t let go.
Slater’s history with Ardern reads like a bad spy novel. Back in 2021, The Standard blog exposed how he was the likely source behind a bizarre Herald attack campaign against Ardern over her wedding plans. I know right! The articles, dripping with petty resentment and innuendo, were classic Slater: digging into personal details, spinning them into a story, fabricating untruths and serving it all up with a side order of misogyny. The man couldn’t resist meddling in something as private as a wedding, allegedly feeding the story to paint Ardern as some sort of elitist. This wasn’t journalism...it was Slater skulking around Ardern's personal life, and trying to score cheap political points in a pathetic and pointless online crusade he's already lost.
But that’s just one chapter in Slater’s unhealthy Ardern fixation. His Whale Oil blog, before it imploded under the weight of his own noxious scribbling and a self-inflicted legal failure, was a cesspool of vitriol aimed at a Prime Minister who is celebrated throughout the world. Jealous much? From snide comments about her appearance to baseless insinuations about her relationships and leadership, Slater’s campaign oozed with a personal grudge that went far beyond just political disagreement.
It’s the kind of behavior you’d expect from a jilted lover, not someone who the mainstream media approach for comment. Despite their unwarranted promotion, Slater is a broken man pathetically obsessing over Ardern’s Instagram account like one of those villains in a horror movie, which would be sad if it wasn't so damn creepy! And let’s not forget his cozy ties with National MP Judith Collins, who he called a “good friend” in 2021, hinting at a shared disdain for Ardern that fueled his relentless attacks during the twilight of dirty politics.
What’s chilling is how Slater’s obsession fits his broader pattern of harassment. This is the guy who’s been involved with character assassinations, gang stand-overs, theft of private property, hacking government servers and defamation rulings. He's been fined for contempt of court, and even bankrupted, yet he still can’t stop himself. Slater’s like a digital peeping Tom, unable to resist prying into the lives of those he fixates on...Ardern, who hasn't been the PM for nearly two years now, being his main target.
Was it Slater who drove Ardern away by encouraging numerous death threats against her family? Possibly! His posts weren’t just critical; they were invasive and abusive, gleefully inciting hatred and tearing into her character with a relish that screams unhinged stalker. It’s not just about policy for Slater...it’s about Ardern herself, as if her very existence offends him.
Slater’s not just a blogger...he’s a cautionary tale of what happens when failure and resentment festers into something measurably worse. His obsession with Ardern isn’t just because he's a gun for hire or a blogger gone rogue; it’s a warning about how far unchecked malice can go. The man needs to step back, get a grip, find some help, and maybe a hobby or two that doesn’t involve stalking a successful female politician. Clearly, Jacinda Ardern and New Zealand deserves better than the toxic sideshow of Whale Oil 2.0.
