Bollocks, imagine the uproar from the left if the boot was on the other foot.
Really, really poor taste [lprent: Yes you were. End of day whiner. ]
pin, head, dancing......
Its the nature of the say that is the problem. Elected versus appointed. Accountable versus non accountable Removable by vote, not removable by vote Simple really
He is till lumbered with 3 Waters, good luck with that
But Chippy wants to win the election
Yes Mike, we need to address our water infrastructure shortfalls, everyone is agreed on that. How you address those shortfalls is the issue, Labours' current plan for doing that does not seem to poll very well. Certain sections of the Labour caucus think ...
So how does he drop 3 waters without causing civil war within the Labour caucus?
Really? You might want to ask a few of your friends what springs to mind when you shout " Let's Do Us!"
Lets Do Us, you might want to rethink that....
He is in a very difficult position, a significant part of his caucus is hell bent on driving through everything on Jacinda's agenda and the rest want to stay in government, good luck managing that.
Chippy is between a rock and a hard place.
I have jut reread this, are you preparing us for the Jacinda resignation Micky?
This is 2023, not 2017 or 2020
Agreed Anker, the multitude of previous students who have repaid their loans would be very angry about such an obvious political ploy.
Excellent, Lou would love this

Solar, wind, electric, hydrogen and now this breakthrough, I would of thought you would be excited and way less sad sack about it.

It is most likely that someone has messed up the bitumen manufacturing process, human error. They have left out an ingredient or similar. Thousands of tonnes of bitumen is made every day, this particular batch is missing something.
I would think that a 33% swing against the government is fairly clear message.
Tony, do you not have a TV, radio or internet connection? Have you not seen the numerous TV clips where Luxon is directly asked about this by journalists? He emphatically rules out privitisation of water. You are making shit up.
Labour has passed 3 waters, nothing much else matters now in terms of their reelection hopes.

You might want to check the numbers again Anne
This far out from the election and with about 61% of the electorate expecting the economy to be worse next year, Luxon does not need to rule anyone in or out.

Yea, sure, you keep thinking that if it makes you feel comfortable.
I think you are dreaming if you think people will lose interest in 3 waters over the summer holidays.
You are joking right? Do you seriously think Act, National and NZ First will suddenly forget about this over the holiday period? This issue will be hammered every day between now and the election
