Yeah right. $500 an hour lawyers "mishear" and "mis-speak". Key is a liar.
Winebox, Trinity and other artificial constructs have come to light. The IRD has had occasional success in shutting them down. The law firms that concocted these tax dodging tools are beavering away daily on helping their clients. I'm surprised that anyone...
There is one more nail for the Scottish people to drive into the Labour (Scotland Branch office) coffin. Council seats and their attached perks. In in 2012 local elections Labour won 392 seats (32%) against the SNP's 425 (35%). Independent got 16% of seats...
ANZAC day is an occasion for extensive coverage of Gallipoli and WW1 in all media. I just listened to a good RNZ program on the popular Gallipoli exhibit in Te Papa. An ever increasing number of Kiwi youth travel to the commemorations in Turkey and many ...
Helen Clark being rushed by John Key!! Oh Diddums! You don't know Helen Clark.
Lister is Not Trump: he has no name recognition. Lister is Not Sanders: he has no core to his policies; they are a mishmash of populist blankets and beads. Paul Eagle is Lister's running-mate so therefore Lister is annointed by the Robertson/King clique. ...
He is Labour but using ACT colours? WTF? No wonder the Labour "Party-Vote" is so weak in Wellington Central. They need a new MP there to provide some Labour focused leadership.
"Then again, blaming the changes in the white working class on moral failures, rather than political and economic ones, is very convenient for conservatives and Republicans. At almost every juncture over the past 35 years, Republicans have supported and ...
The people of Clutha were willing to send a cigarette salesman to parliament to replace Bill English. They got the MP they deserve. They are sadly lacking in some values.
Liz Craig should start preparing for a By-election. The winning candidate in the 2014 election, Todd Barclay (National Party), captured a majority (64.1%) of the 33,655 valid electorate votes cast for candidates in the Clutha-Southland electorate. The seat...
Key still has huge support across most sectors of society. Articles like this have been written hundreds of times . Wishful thinking will not remove Key. If we are to deploy attack policies we should focus on those around Key: Joyce, Mcculley, Smith, ...
Little will survive this debacle IF he comes down like a tonne of bricks on any misbehaviour by Shearer/Robertson/King and their bag carriers. Little's nasty treatment of Cunliffe in the last reshuffle, at the behest of that trio, suggests to me that he is...

Shearer/O'Connor analogy by Incognito. What a weird and stupid analogy to make. What an ignorant ass.
Captain Mumblefuck rides again. Many/most things Shearer did a leader undermined the Labour Leadership. Now Shearer has gone and holed Andrew Little below the waterline AND ruined his own credibility as Foreign & Trade Spokesman. You couldn't make it up. ...
My money is on Shearer showing off his 1) parliamentary inexperience 2) vanity: he actually thinks he is a mover and shaker 3) true neo-con soul: his time in London with the big boys at Arundel House with the Institute for Strategic Studies was a defining ...
There is a small risk that Shearer would use any punishment by Little to resign from Labour and go to his true home, National. There is nothing Mrs & Mr Shearer will not do to become Min for Foreign Affairs or at least an Ambassador.
Cunliffe had the support of membership in the leadership battle, after the change of rules at the Ellerslie Conference. Robertson, Wellington apparatchik and Shearer's real campaign manager, had collected more Caucus votes. Robertson & Co were never never ...
and did they giggle that Andrew Little promoted Nash and shat on Cunliffe?
http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11552297 Can anyone tell me the location and date of the Labour Party dinner Stuart Nash is hosting for Roger Douglas, Michael Bassett, Ken Shirley and Labour "A" Listers? I'd like to protest at ...
Welcome onto The Standard Carmel Sepuloni: looking forward to hearing more from you.
1. Trevett says Annette will surrender Rongotai to Andrew Little. No one disputed this. Trevett has shown she is being fed excellent intelligence throughput this process. 2. All are saying the ABC's have seen the Cunliffe supporters in the Caucus demoted, ...
Request: Please do not upset TRP today. Te Reo Putake is in a very grumpy mood and lashing out at all and sundry. She/He is very very very sensitive to any hint that Robertson and King had a major say in the cabinet selection. TRP is also very very very ...
"...or forced the ABCs to walk the plank." To quote the great Orace himself, the well informed TRP, " the ABCers are yesterday's news." That suggests that, with Cunliffe shafted, the ABCers ARE the Labour Party. Grant and Annette own the shop. Using TRPs ...
As I said earlier.... 7 December 2015 at 9:16 am Claire Trevett’s opinion piece “Coded messages go back and forth in reshuffle” contains a terrible allegation about Andrew Little which he needs to clear up. It is effectively saying the Cunliffe’s shafting ...
you bitch TM! [lprent: Hmmm... Ok that doesn't trigger the policy rule in the context. ]
Morrissey Thanks you for performing such a critical role. Like the Lavatory Attendant you perform a role which we all know is necessary but which we would not volunteer to do ourselves. I occasionally tune-in to these arseholes for a few difficult minutes ...
Claire Trevett's opinion piece “Coded messages go back and forth in reshuffle” contains a terrible allegation about Andrew Little which he needs to clear up. It is effectively saying the Cunliffe’s shafting was Annette King’s price to give up her Rongotai ...
Yep, heaps. Te Reo Putake again 24 November 2014 at 9:05 am Cheers, weka and karol. I think the problem with some of the comments around the deputy’s position is the ignorance about the process. Little can certainly nominate someone, but it’s a caucus ...
Matthew Hooton "In 2003, Don Brash gave Bill English the #5 ranking and made him education spokesman, a portfolio Bill asked for. Andrew Little could consider doing something similar." Te Reo Putake "Good point, Matthew. 12 months of Cunliffe badgering one...
Surely a mistake Michael? Andrew needs to watch Robertson. By stomping on the Progressive Wing and giving oxygen to the Right Wing he has left the balance of power with Robertson and the Careerists Wing. Robertson is now the king maker and the Right will ...
