There is none with eyes but will not see, ears but will not hear and mouth which speaks untruths & excuses only - that's you, dobby41.

Promotion of Tyford isn't what this bit of thread is about - it's about the assertion that Labour is responsible for the Americas Cup 'issue' (whatever that issue really is).
I just don't get how Labour or Tyford are responsible!
The appropriate authorities are investigating.
I wonder if the new Taieri seat in Dunedin may be at risk for Labour and potentially big news on election night.
Its not just about boundaries extending to rural districts but also the Labour candidate not really making an impact. Regardless of ones party affiliation I have never liked having out of town candidates being parachuted into safe seats. I know of one person who met her at a street corner meeting and was less than impressed. I could be wrong but I have this feeling of being taken for granted which is not good enough.
Just my, and probably uninformed ,opinion
MY my JT. Cindy's cynicism is cutting deep isn't it? She's cut you to the bone with those sparkling gnashers. Chewed you up and spat you to the spittoon.
You have my sympathy...having your heart broken by one who has cruelly used you for her own purposes must be devastating. Treat yourself to a hot bath with smelling salts, old chap. Clear your head and then rinse her down the drain. You'll feel ever so much better for it!
What? Balance and jonu the same person!!??
Jacinda’s media briefings are not over-exposure as far as I’m concerned. She has something useful to say and she communicates very well. There is lots happening these days and I welcome her updating us on what is happening. I am definitely an admirer of her leadership ability.
I think that everyone who calls her cynical is projecting their own unwanted cynicism onto her. They are denying their own distrust of others motives and attributing it to her. It is a shame that someone who supports kindness and transparency is seen as cynical.
You are entitled to a different opinion but it would be better if you could be a bit more objective in your comments, rather than the repetitive name calling.
You don't think she is cynical?
When is the last time you saw her alongside Dr Bloomfield after previously being joined at the hip?
What about the party political broadcast we get anytime she makes an announcement?
How about the media complaining that this administration is less transparent than the Nats....despite claiming the high ground in this regard!
How about her throwing clinicians under the bus regarding testing in the early days of Level 1, when the clinicians had been following the instructions from on high?
How about the Kiwibuild "RESET"?
How about the quiet changes to the standards of measure around free tertiary study?
How about the "last" instalment of fuel tax in effect today ....the tax increase that isn't a tax increase because the PM promised us no tax increase?
I invite others to add to the list so that moka can see the light!
I don't think she is cynical. Maybe we have a different understanding of cynical. A cynical person is someone who believes that only selfishness and self-interest motivates human actions. I think that it is you who is cynical about her motivation or intentions when doing these things. That you think she is doing these things out self-interest. I can’t see the cynicism in the list of things but perhaps if you chose one or more from the list and expanded on how she is being cynical I may be able to understand your perspective. I don't need more examples, I need more detail on one or more about how her actions are cynical. I can’t see the light but we don’t know what we don’t know.
Maybe jonu would prefer something like this:
