Labour / NZ First Government

I said WO were the messenger.... all you need to do is watch the question in Parliament yesterday... that is the source.

So let's get this right. It's very bad for a new contract staffer in the PM's Office to speak on a RadioNZ panel using an expired work address, but it's OK for a permanent staffer like Jason Eade to work from an office physically close to the PM and feed all sorts of inside dirt to Whaleoil for years to destabilise the opposition and usurp normal processes?

I can see why the Nats aren't too keen on RadioNZ. On that station, they actually take the time to look properly at important issues, and give a balanced view. So what if it generally points to leftie policies being more suitable, or people being more aware of issues around NZ. To give them credit, the 2017 National Govt unfroze the longstanding $32m annual funding for RadioNZ, and they deserve the $2.84m increase.

Labour proposes a bigger step, though.

The real reason John Key left parliament, yep I'd like to know that one. He is such a loose cannon, Cameron Slater. He's left the National Party, I would guess he knows a lot more about the National MPs and members than internal Labour/Green/NZFirst business, so the risk is going to be on the National Party in future. It does seem he has a right to feel personally aggrieved about some aspects of National Party behaviour.

Im sure they will buy him back at some stage; he's just bargaining in advance, good move imo, Blue and dirty politics forever linked.

You mean he's been on the sauce?

Now Matthew Hooton and Steven Joyce are having a ding-dong in the press.

Interesting that having a lack of power seems to cause this fractious behaviour. They've got most of nine years to sort it out.

A stunned mullet with only 4 votes according to Hooten.

NZ PM Jacinda Ardern puts Aussie PM Malcolm Turnbull in the shade
She ended her speech with a great rugby analogy. She said we are "locked in a great rolling maul: furiously energetic; sometimes fast, sometimes slow; a bit messy, with different players coming and going, and completely incomprehensible to outsiders.
"But those in the mix know exactly what they're doing – and we're moving steadily forward toward a distant try line."

And for the fearful and misinformed on this thread
"It was a chance to dispel some of the myths that have built up about her "socialist' agenda."

Her socialist agenda is no myth.
