Labour / NZ First Government

[blackcap]

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.

What say you now EZ? I see Carol Hirschfeld has resigned...http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=12020962

Curran has got some explaining to do and I think she should resign, but think she will throw Carol under the bus instead.

I was wondering on that this morning how do Adern and Genta know there are too many old white men are on board. Is it because they have old white man sounding names?

Might pay Labour to stop appointing old white man Michael Cullen to boards.

Well, we can all sleep easy. The PM knows that there aren't any "secret" Russian spies in the Russian embassy. Work that one out.

She probably just asked the comrades and they told her ... thank god Cindy is so well connected .

No ‘undeclared’ Russian intelligence officials - or spies - in NZ.

Probably quite a few ‘declared’ spies

She stood for Labour in a very safe seat, and landed way way way out of her depth - that's what she did do.

I wonder if they would accept Old White Women. Jenney Shipley probably looking for an opportunity or two. (ignoring the fact hte was a youngish White Woman when she achieved her appointment to Prime Minster 20 years ago. You'd think women might have made some progress in that time. And if they haven't the middle aged white men at the time can hardly be blamed.
