    Completely agree. National should easily clean up in the next election, except it's hard to see Bridges as PM. Same applies to Collins. They need a leader with charisma, and there's a couple of them in the party.

    So much for all the fine, compassionate words uttered after the Christchurch shootings. Now Cabinet isn't prepared to do the compassionate thing to allow special visas for family members to support those widowed by the shootings. If current legislation doesn't allow it, isn't that what government is for, to pass amending legislation as a matter of urgency?

    Agreed. Wonder whether this was Winnies populism succeeding over decency?

She claims transparency but has been willing from the start to brush over, delay, order an inquiry into the inquiry, and generally smile and BS her way through anything awkward. She is worse than Key in this regard because she is claiming to be above all that.

    My impression of her is that she has found herself in a position way above her competency level and that she has bluffed her way through it by and large, with a healthy dose of help from a doting media. Time is up and chickens are looking for a roost.

    If she's toast you're peanut butter. Wishing and hoping doesn't help here. Facts are what i want to see.Just have to wait. But somethings a bit strange here. Sounds like some planned scripts have been read out, The communication and use of words are so well written and expressed , vey political, professional spin, really aimed at undermining the govt. Crosby/textor sounding tactics.
    i just hope like hell im wrong that a part of this isn't some sort of sting setup. Some plants, i just dont know? And now we have to wait some time for the QC investigation.
    Some fake stuff mixed in with some real stuff?

    Jeez, that’s how Jacinda playing it mate.

    She’s told no specific lies .....everything’s carefully worded so she’s not telling the whole truth.

    And don’t forget the QC is only looking at ‘process’

    I'm not so sure about that. Listen to the different discussions with Hosking.

    that's the way the world learns about Labor's cover up and Jacinda's loss of trust: interesting opinion piece written by a NZ journalist (Alison Mau) - but published in the Guardian:

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/co...ed-asset-trust

    ... and no, westerly - the guardian is not a "right-wing" newspaper, nor is it funded by CT as - I am sure JT and EZ would like to tell us ... ;
