A stitch in time saves nine.
Classic case of the ever clueless and useless Ardern grossly mismanaging a salvageable situation with Dr Sharma - resulting in huge damage to her & the Labour government.
Very very satisfying indeed! 😆

Should have agreed to an investigation.
Had she done it, everything would probably have stopped that night.
1. Labour wouldn't have needed to call a secret caucus meeting that wasn't a caucus meeting because one member of the caucus wasn't there.
2. They wouldn't have needed to suspend, thereby sparking another round of accusations from him.
3. He wouldn't have revealed that at least one senior Labour MP was leaking information to him about those caucus meetings.
4. He wouldn't have gone on TV and radio three days later, calling the Prime Minister a liar.
5. He wouldn't have accused the PM's staff of using dual roles to hide official information from the public.
6. And he wouldn't have accused the party of teaching backbenchers how to hide information by using the phone instead of emails.
7. They were busted holding a secret meeting behind his back, after all.
8. It was a meeting the PM's office described as in "dispute" until it wasn't in dispute anymore and the PM admitted it.
9. The biggest political problem here for Labour is that they can't control him. They lost that ability the moment they suspended him from the caucus. They should've just called an investigation.
