    But don’t forget Labour still in ‘honeymoon’ mode so this helps their polling

    I dont see any basking that is incorrect. Hard out getting up to speed is the new govt , it takes a while getting all the logistics, office, passwords staff, protocols etc etc up to full speed after 9 years out . And national doing everything to divide and conquer. A good robust opposition they are not sadly. Many are living in the past(first past the post) and being bitter and revengeful will ultimately be self destructive. The fact that they tried to politically assassinate Winston Peters was their biggest blunder. And Bill English as a role model of how to behave badly, permanently damaged goods imo no credibility left. .And following on when he's gone,Bridges? The strong arm bully will cause too much damage to his own party imo.
    Thank goodness we now have a positive govt that seeks collaboration

    According to House observer Graeme Edgeler, the same thing happened to a new minister in 2008 who was unfamiliar with how to move a first reading. That minister was Gerry Brownlee – but leave was moved by Labour to let him do it anyway and it was granted.

    A great example showing national slowly heading down the
    gurgler with their ambush at all costs tactics, a less credible weaker party will be result. give em enough rope.

    Though these games are interesting, as a tax payer, I find it to be a big waste of time.
    I know National would like to see Labour fail but a fail for Labour means a fail for us all.
    Let them play their games on their own dime - not mine.

    46 is 17.95% more than 39. It's not that hard.
