I think minimoke has raised an interesting issue about negative news about Labour disappearing, not being reported or judges assisting with name suppressions. That's not desperation, just a matter of fact.
Given the Minister of Broadcasting meddling inappropriately with state radio it is extremely disturbing to see state television with a broken link to a topical news item involving a member of Government
Perhaps someone could explain why Clarke Gayford needs a Diplomatic Passport to visit Australia, the Pacific Island and the UK. Surely in these visa free countries his NZ passport should be all that is required. I thought diplomatic passports got issued to diplomats, top ranking government officials and diplomatic couriers. When travelling do his bags get searched and sniffed like every other spouse or do government official spouses get special treatment?

Clare Curran (Labour) having a "chance encounter" with Carol Hirschfeld - despite the txt messaging beforehand and diary entry. And then subsequent encouragement of the CEO not to attend a Select Committee meeting.
I heard that Govt and Auckland Council have a grand ten year plan to improve Auckland's transport infrastructure. I thought I heard that it's to be part funded on a Public/Private partnership basis but must have got that wrong - Labour doesn't believe in PPP's.

That's clever. And then introduce "value capture" tax on everyone in the vicinity of the new infrastructure :-)

I see one cool idea is to put a special levy on imported petrol engine cars and use the money to encourage the purchase of electric cars by giving purchasers a rebate
Seems like the not so well off will be subsidising the more affluent ....cool

Its how the rich get richer. Credit where it is due though. It is consistent with poor people subsidising the wealthy through the proposed fuel tax as well as continuing the exemption from Road User charges. Ultimately what we will end up with is the Greens jumping from their EV's to their bikes and not contributing a cent towards the roads they travel on.
