Having made such a clear statement about not working with Labour and repeating it regularly, he knows he would be vilified if he did flip flop.
Peters has emphatically ruled out working with Labour, "you do not get to lie to me twice" etc.

"And it needs to stop making mistakes" https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather-du-plessis-allan-drive/audio/barry-soper-senior-political-correspondent-on-peeni-henares-potential-conflict-of-interest/
I thought you would be more disgusted by the video showing staff encouraging the people in their care to beat the shit out of each other.
Some puzzling stats in this poll. In the all important female 18-49 bracket, Greens are on 8.5%, TMP are on 15%, Labour on 26% and National on 31%.
Hipkins effectively said no to this on his TV3 morning slot today.
Vernon Small is a died-in-the-wool leftie isn't he?
TPM here we come?
The issue of course is that any government that institutes this will find that tax revenue will dry up overnight - the exodus of international businesses, successful local businesses, individuals with wealth etc. will be swift and devastating. Our economy ...
How will the good people of Mount Roskill feel about todays turn of events?????
Of course the option she would take is to go and live somewhere else and take her wealth with her. As did the vast number of rich people who left countries where this foolishness was instituted. Ask France why they changed their mind. This is all semantics...
Poor old Chippie, his Ministers stuff up and now he has to deal with this. For example, the hardworking plumber from west Auckland owns a house worth a million dollars, he has it in trust. The Greens think he is a rich prick and want him to pay another $15...
No, because it will ensure a change of government
Like I said, please make it non negotiable.
Yes, please, please make it non negotiable and poor old chippie receives another kick in the guts regarding re election.
John, don't drink and blog, bad look.
Omg, your comparing NZ to Japan. They have a huge population to maintain a feasible rail system. We just don’t have the numbers. Even the rail system we have cannot run on time. It’s a total waste of space. Rip up the rail and use the space to run ...
Chippie has also had to deal with "sloppy work' from 1 ex minister and 2 current ministers over the last few months, he must be getting a bit tired of that.
Perhaps Hipkins knows more than we do about this matter.
well said
not retired
Andrea Vance teases National about AI but then asks some serious questions regarding Labours' possible relationship with TMP. https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/132153124/national-doesnt-care-about-ai-wait-til-it-starts-mocking-them

yea, OECD reports are not worth the paper they are written
flip flop https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/pm-chris-hipkins-facing-flack-over-super-age-decision-ahead-of-congress-address/C4TQHUXJ4JCM3AXHYIUGMPYC2M/
yes, you are right and the OECD is wrong.
yes, agreed
Head in the sand stuff from labour, every western country knows that the eligibility age for super must go up, otherwise it will be unaffordable and will collapse. The OECD has made this perfectly clear in numerous reports. Even France, that bastion of ...
ah, no, it was being told to suck eggs that pissed people off
Yes, remember Helen's light bulb advice? That was real winner, the electorate loved it, more of that please Labour.
