    Josie Pagani.
    Doing the Tories work for them while masquerading as a ‘centre left’ commentator.
    Pagani is so right wing she’d be more at home in the National Party.

      Sickening, visionless, hogwash.

      An interesting choice of words and phrases being used.

      Doesn’t this one sound all to familiar: “Labour’s policies had been right, they had not been communicated well.” ?

      And little said similar: Jeremy Corbyn won because he was authentic.

      She overlooks the fact that tax increases is not the only avenue government has to generate revenue.

      She disingenuously claims: “There is no way through for him that will see Labour elected.”

      In reality, he has a number of options and avenues to take.

      She also disingenuously claims: Corbyn’s leadership is the opposite of what it promises to be. It will actually betray Labour voters because it ensures Conservative rule by offering comfortable and easy reassurance only to Labour’s activists.

      Corbyn’s yet to campaign in the general election, therefore, she doesn’t know if wider voters will resonate, she merely assumes they won’t.

      Doing good generally results in people feeling good.

        Pagani opens her mouth and political shit issues forth.

        Apparently now she has such a precise understanding of the electorate and of the mood of the nation, she can predict the political future.

        Stupid, delusional and self aggrandizing.

    She needs to be exported back to Italy where she can work on the Pagani production line making Zondas. At least she’ll be doing something productive then.

    Key seems to be doing the rounds at several Auckland schools at the moment and over the next couple of weeks, wonder what that’s all about ?

    The Abbott leadership story is interesting – but a change of leader won’t make much difference to Oz politics – they’re all Tories.

    Meanwhile – I think I’ve found the quote of the week.

    Sorry cannot do a link to it, but the Northern Advocate today Mon 14 Sept pg 22 has a feature about Nicky Hager – I think its connected to their Tauranga paper because its advertising the Tauranga Arts Festival. Hager is talking about people who come as refugees into NZ – and how they and their families get involved in their local NZ community as part of their appreciation of being in NZ.

    He says “It must be something about the hard experiences we heard about …… that make us want to contribute to our communities in positive ways. ……. There’s always an exception to the rule ….. John Key. Its unusual to find someone who has a refugee as a parent, and who never spent one minute volunteering in a community.”

    I find this an extremely telling comment. It fits.

      But but but, isn’t Key giving his entire PM salary to charity and therefore his work as PM is as a volunteer? What a gift to New Zealand! And he is giving us a new Flag.

      And he gives away wine, and knighthoods, and our sovereignty and our good name overseas, and he does it all for free! Voluntarily, even.
