All the very best to David Cunliffe and his fabulous wife. We all know who Karen is now and hope he knows how lucky he is. I'm amazed at how he held his composure against media and colleagues and admire him for that and his principled position to step down...
I assume you're addressing me. I also assume you don't vote Labour, but it intrigues me that your answer is quite vehement. It would be nice to know the reasons.
Someone on another thread mentioned Michael Joseph Savage and how Labour was a christian party because those are its values, feed the poor, do good to others etc. If Labour were to reclaim those historical basics it would do a lot to pull in the average ...
I agree. The fact that he did so publicly speaks volumes about him. Yes he has a very good brain obviously, but the way that he and other Labour caucus behaved after the election is dreadful. I think Cunliffe and Little in that order are the way to go. ...
Totally agree!!
Agree totally. Cunliffe has the experience behind him of a bizarre election and post-election hounding. He's done well to hang in there and I for one feel I know him better now. He's smart enough to have learnt from his mistakes and if he's re-elected to ...
I think the MSM has got much worse over time. Maybe there's more money to be made from the Whaleoil/Farrar contacts, but they have been especially vicious to Labour this time. And I thought Sean Plunket was going to bust a valve when he spoke to Kim Dotcom...
So who found and bagged the plastic sword, and why weren't journalists told that's what it was, so they didn't have to write reams in newspapers, and frighten the public? Obviously the agenda of mass surveillance takes precedence. And it didn't hurt the ...
Comparing us to other countries is illogical. We live here. It is deeply worrying that a writer who has been given material that exposes state corruption, is then intimidated and raided by the police. That is why people, including myself, have given ...
Because the book he wrote proved beyond doubt that the government of the country was involved in illegal, unethical and undemocratic activities against its political opponents. In other words political corruption was exposed. So the author did a service ...
I wonder why it's a post-election story. Would have been more useful before. If it's very complicated and there were good reasons to not publish before the election, well fair enough, but what's taking so long? I've lost faith in our journalists in the ...
Now over $7000. We've all learnt a lot about the way the Nats government works, thanks to this guy and the whistleblowing hero who went to him. Our heartfelt thanks are due.
Hope you know something that others don't, otherwise the big money and power people are gonna win.
I know, we think we're so safe and cosy in our little paradise, until we find out, in this case through Nicky Hagers book what's really going on. What really gets me though is how most people don't want to know. They stick with the MSM line that Keys ...
The trouble is we'll get mad and jump up and down about it for a while, then have to get up and go to work in the morning, and then watch our favourite show on telly, or sport or whatever, and we'll forget all about it. I used to blog a lot on the Herald, ...
Privatising the old power boards has led to low or no maintenance done for years. Also, experienced workers being replaced by overseas, lower-paid ones and shoddy workmanship.. Profit motive is the driver, not building a robust network for the future.
A simple pledge card with a few main policies and Party Vote labour. Keep CGT for second term and retirement age same.
Having read your comments I just wonder how you know Hooton, Farrar etc have liked the Keep David Cunliffe as Leader facebook page, and why you'd have such a keen interest? I didn't know it existed. And why you seem so vehemently opposed to David Cunliffe?...
I'm amazed really that these particular members have been allowed to continue with their disintegration of the Labour Party. Is the Labour membership and/or President etc not able to do something about them? I know many are electorate MP's but they seem to...
Does anyone know the origin of the oft repeated mantra that no-one likes D Cunliffe? he seems perfectly normal and human to me, but maybe I've missed something?
Yes he can talk okay, but is that enough? I don't think NZ is ready for a gay PM. The right would just add it to the many things they attack Labour with. I think Cunliffe worked hard and did well in the debates. Yes the CGT and man apology hurt, but Dotcom...
The Labour party is tearing itself apart. Who do they represent these ABC people? Working people? Because these are where Labour came from and have to reconnect with. IMO Grant Robertson would be laughed out of the room in the next election debates. Maybe ...
That is just plain nasty.
Or Attack Politics. More descriptive.
The Dotcom debacle confused them. The MSM defended John Key against Dirty Politics. Labour had too many policies which also confused people. John Key has moved left to dethrone Labour. Labour needs to stay left and work with the Greens which Cunliffe now ...
25.1 What is acting in your own self-interest? A new Paknsave is opening soon near me. There are 180+ jobs, and well over 1000 applied. Because of our low-wages many will only earn $15 an hour or $600 gross pw, which will be just enough to make them ...
