Cunliffe admits he blundered attacking Key as 'out of touch'
David Cunliffe has admitted he blundered in attacking John Key for being “out of touch” because he’s rich and lives in a “leafy suburb.” The comment was derided by political commenttor David Farrar, who noted the Leader of the Opposition gets a salary of $268,500 a year and a superannuation subsidy of almost $30,000 so a remuneration package of around $300,000 a year. His wife, a partner at a top Auckland law firm, would earns somewhere north of $244,460.

A "middle range" existence? How the Cunliffe's $550K annual income breaks down
That should be EZ enough to see!!!
He also withdrew a promise by previous Labour leader David Shearer that Greens will get a share of Cabinet seats proportionate to their vote. So a split away from the Greens, he has finally seen the light, but if he needs the numbers to form a Govt. he reverses that statement by saying, “that depends on how the voters decide.”. He's not saying anything but the, "fact he wants it both ways". I guess the good thing here is the Greenies are left out to dry where they belong, but will that change the way they (The Greens) feel about Cunliffe after doing the dirty on them? Hmmm!! Either way, I like what's happening here. All good for Key and another three years. Maybe we should start talking who will be the next Labour Leader in opposition after this years election.:)
