I was amazed at the way he attacked the membership in the last paragraph. Apparently the people that voted David Cunliffe in with a first round majority last time are a bunch of nonsensical conspiracy theorists. I expected better from Cullen.
I went there with an open mind and was immensely impressed by Andrew Little. He was easily the most charismatic of the four and the most authentic and funny. I was predisposed to him because I like his politics but I was surprised to see him shine like ...
I'm going to wait until I go to the hustings but I'm probably going to give my top two votes to Little and Parker as they're the only two who have done us the courtesy of coming to the Standard and talking to people.
And again. A Robertson fan comes on. Orders people to vote for Grant and then badmouths the other candidates. Do you people realise you're hurting your man's chances with this divisive shit?
I like Grant but the bitchy little shits who spriuk for him all over social media while also taking snide and frequently false shots at other candidates put me off him. Is this the culture he engenders in his supporters? Because if it is I don't see how ...
Wasn't Rex Jones the head of the EPMU then?
That still seems a bit out of whack to me. Do you remember what year it was?
I looked this up and the arbitration court ceased existing in 1973. Demarcation disappeared in 1991 with the Employment Contracts Act. From the article linked in the post Little didn't join the EPMU until 1992 and he wasn't leader until 2000. What you're ...
Or 6. "try selling a cgt with a plethora of exemptions to a voting population that have bugger all time to read a massive policy document, while dealing with a media that give you ten seconds to state your whole case, while also having an opponent with a ...
He bags his leader for the loss despite being the deputy throughout the campaign, then he says he won't stand and instead becomes the acting leader, then he stands? What kind of a game is he playing?
That's not true. Little fully backed the democratic process but spoke out against the no confidence vote threshold being set at 40% of caucus.
It's corruption. It's Key's office that should have been raided by the police. And Collins'. This is a fucking disgrace.
If you say so. I'm not fussed either way. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
If the ideal result is this clear then why don't you trust the democratic process to deliver it?
Your previous comments have called for Cunliffe to pull out of the race and now you want Little not to enter? Why are you so worried about a democratic contest?
Beverage was a staffer in John Key's office. Does he disclose that on his site?
Hey Matthew, are you still getting paid to write pro-tobacco attack posts for Slater to publish under his own name?
You sound like you're repeating lines. Worse than the 80's? Whatever.
I find it odd that someone with the handle "bornleft" would only appear on the pre-eminent left wing blog in New Zealand on the day the leadership is announced and then start concern trolling David Cunliffe.

It's all part of the same joined-up dirty tricks machine.
Farrar's still up to his neck in dirty politics. Someone says something that contradicts his paymasters? He trawls through their facebook (or the research unit does) and uses it to have a crack at them. The lesson he is trying to teach people is don't even...
Hi Anthony, I'll ask you what I'm asking everyone else who has claimed Labour moves to the centre: What major left wing policy would you dump? The economic growth fund? Kiwibuild? The sovereign wealth fund? Best Start? Free GP visits? Capital Gains Tax? ...
And once again the whacky libertarian right show they have no grasp of economics.
Hey Matthew. Did you ever pay Slater to run spin posts you'd written on behalf of your clients under his name?
I think it's a clever move to hijack the positive perceptions of the NZ Inc brand the right have created among apolitical Kiwis and attach them to a left-wing policy. The funny thing is the right have always use "NZ Inc" as a label to try to make rapacious...
Or nothing. You should ask to be paid nothing. Then your boss could create another job or two.
$2 in one year.
That's exactly the kind of thing losers say.
This also implicates Fran O'Sullivan, Jarod Savage, and Hooton (again). We need an inquiry into the behaviour of the media.
snap.
