Labour / NZ First Government

All the negative attention. Don’t think Labour will be too concerned about that.

Must be galling for labour that national and Collins are getting all the media attention, Jacinda’s fail to deliver any policy will weigh heavily on the lead up to election.

Really galling for Labour - you spoke a bit soon!

Collins will be judged by how she handles the Falloon affair. I'd say she has done ok so far.

Labour will be judged on non-delivery. The public are tiring of Cindy's scare tactics on Covid. How cynical of her to amp up the fear with a threat of returning to lockdowns the minute Crusher became her nemisis. Cindy is bereft of positive ideas and policy. Her ability to communicate is indisputable. She is however, an intellectual lightweight, and incapable of thinking out a policy framework....hence her need for endless reviews.

I don't know if the Nats will get over the line on election day, but if Winnies vote collapses (remember he has a SFO inquiry pending) Labour is in trouble. The Greens remain scary to most and without a Winnie handbrake centrists will return to the Nats.

And look at the way at she dealt with the Falloon sex scandal decisively - and articulated why she acted the way she did.

Compare and contrast with this :

Comrade Cindy 's cover up and total lack of compassion and concern for the female victims in the scandals.

Disgraceful - Comrade Cindy's attempts to cover up the scandal.

International media are describing Labour's sexual assault scandal as an "embarrassment" and a black mark on Jacinda Ardern's shining reputation.

Fresh reports of an alleged sexual assault on a young volunteer in 2018 surfaced on Monday, with the 19-year-old telling The Spinoff she was caused additional distress by the party's poor handling of her complaint.

She said senior Labour members - including party president Nigel Haworth - failed to take appropriate action, clearing the man of six separate complaints from multiple people without communicating with the complainants about the internal process.

That's because Cindy has been raised on the woke form of virtue signaling compassion. All style and no substance. The epitome of cynicism.

It resulted in a court case with a not guilty verdict. A media firestorm over a non event.
Diverting attention away from Nationals latest problem won't make it go away

Not true - read the court’s decision.

And Labour thinks their handling of the sex scandal will go away? How the victims complained, were ignored and then, re-victimised by the callous attitude of the Labour Party & Comrade Cindy?

Does not change a thing - Comrade Cindy & the Labour Party did not want to know and their first reaction was to cover up., and LIED! A total disgrace.

Not kind for Winston to refer to Comrade Cindy as inexperienced & woke pixie dust.

If you keep using "woke" you risk being a bit of a try hard - think Chris Bishop, Hamish Walker, Aaron Gilmore, Andrew Falloon.

Hardly, the media pick up on one sound bite, a clever quip from the PM but fail to report the whole question time, a win for Collins. The media are part of the problem, a big part.
