Shameful, disgraceful & repugnant - the con played on the families of the dead miners by Andrew Little, Comrade Cindy & Winston Peters.

Except : "The Labour Party should be ashamed of themselves. They took a tragedy, saw a political gap, and leapt on it. The previous National government did what any logical, sensible, and adult government would have done, all they could. Short of making up stories and promising false hope like the current lot have."

Couldn't agree more. The cynical manipulation of the grieving families hopes on a Quixotic quest with no practical hope of success should keep Andrew Little awake at night with an overwhelming sense of shame.

Prediction: There will be no new underground mining in the Brunner Seam until mining technology allows mining in an inert gas atmosphere.

Boop boop de do
Marilyn.

PS. If any promoter want the public to subscribe to a new underground mining adventure in the Brunner Seam right thinking citizens should drag him to the end of the breakwater when the Grey River is in flood and chuck him in.

Surely not our sweet, empathetic, caring, kind Cindy. Rob Fyfe fronts for the country without pay and "earns" the cold shoulder. Don't get on Cindy's bad side....remember she controls the narrative.

She deserves all the credit for eliminating the virus - who the heck do the others think they are?

Trying to steal the kudos & limelight from Comrade Cindy?

I just hope she gets major international media praise ...she loves that

Her incredible arrogance towards the business community will bring her down. Getting too big for her boots already.

I don’t think it’s arrogance, looks more like ignorance to me. The ‘don’t know what they don’t know’ about business will erode the Tremendous political capital she has, but whether it is enough to win an election remains to be seen.

Sorry Baa Baa but we disagree on that one. She asked Fyfe to help the Government out to rally the business community to assist the Government, which he did, including plainloads of donated protective gear and breathing apparatus. Fyfe gave 8 weeks of his time in Wellingotn free of charge. She has not even responded to a letter from him and apparently given him little support, so basically was all a show from day one, despite his best efforts. Pure arrogance from the PM. No kindness there. They will struggle to find any high profile business people to step up and assist them in the future, in the unlikely event they would want it..

How many business or other people would she be meeting per day. Maybe loads and hopefully mostly online. A letter seems like an odd form of communication to use. Maybe it needs to work its way through the system

Roger that, I thought you were referring to the business community but in terms of her treatment of Fyfe then absolutely agree.

Don’t know what they don’t know.

Unfortunately Fran is not unbiased, she frequently is barbed and undermining towards our PM and has an agenda i believe. The last line offers another view but wouldn't suit Frans headline agenda. And looks like Fyfe and Robertson had a good connection too

"A spokesperson said that the Prime Minister "has publicly acknowledged and thanked him".
