Comments on: Good on you Sue http://thestandard.org.nz/good-on-you-sue/ The New Zealand labour movement used to have its own newspaper. A group of us thought that now might be a good time for it to be digitally reborn: The Standard v2.0 - now in a new format The Standard v3.0 Sun, 27 May 2012 22:40:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Tammy Gordon http://thestandard.org.nz/good-on-you-sue/comment-page-1/#comment-167778 Tammy Gordon Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:04:53 +0000 http://www.thestandard.org.nz/?p=23693#comment-167778 I was aghast at Metiria Turei's on Nat Rad this morning. Smugly claiming that the Green's wouldn't miss Sue's vast experience. Her tone essentially said good riddance. Honestly, I just wanted to smack her.

With Fitzsimmons leaving, Rob Donald's sad passing and the new co-leaders being about as alternative and inspiring as a synth pop boy band with songs written by their label. Unless they do something radical I can't see them surviving with a sycophantic 'NACT rule OK' media team making it all the harder to get any message through.
