I have no good words about Wellington brand/marketing 'consultants'. I dealt with a bunch of them while contracted to the Transport Agency, and they are vapid fuckwits who take BASIC comms 101 concepts, make a pretty presentation, then charge exorbitant amounts of money to fly around the country and present their 'findings' to executives. They charge and charge and charge. They also very often sub-contract work out, then charge a premium on top of that contractor's bill to teh client. Fucking scum-sucking leeches. And they LOVE LOVE LOVE government clients, because so often they get away with very little result for large sums of money, and spin shit to executives who know nothing about comms using lots of jargon so the clients think so much is being done when it is 5/8 of fuck all.
Labour doesn't need a brand refresh. They need to do their fucking job.

Is that the same people that raised the $50000?
Also, where was the outrage when Kitfatcom hosted his legion of fluffybunnies at the same venue in 2014?

Yeah, that’s the same group. They had to have some actual impacted people to file on behalf of, I understand, so the promoters, a person who had a ticket (Dunedin guy) and a local ratepayer (lecturer guy)

@mokey ..and "management" consultants.
Two key elements of a successful course (if you're a management consultant). It's got to be more fun for the troops than a regular day in the office - and you've got to make the person who is signing the cheque look great.
Years ago (after such a course) a friend and I jokingly decided that the foundation of such a management course could be an Organization = A pride of lions.
If we were ahead of the curve then, we no longer are...
-
@chris-b Oh god...all the executives did this course with a smug prick they kept flying over from Australia. Supposedly to boost leadership skills etc. Cost a fuckton of money plus flights, accommodation, food etc. Did it have one iota of impact? LOL. Leadership and management communication continued to be the worst ranked aspect in staff surveys. (The comments were hilariously brutal)

What this story means is drunk old uncle Winston has dug his heels in and said no to more refugees and left labour to come up with something , anything to justify their policy turnaround .
I wonder how many of the twats who were sharing the photo of the dead Syrian toddler on Facebook will buy this? -

@jegga some of the lefties must be torn....
We need to sort out the homelessness...
We need to let in more refugees...We need to bring in 30000 more workers for kiwibuild .......
Just over two years left till the next election and we get a chance to shed ourselves of these losers.
If they get dumped I think the odds are on Judith Collins being pm , I hope so because the meltdown from the left would something to behold.
-
@jegga I hope National is working on some better election partners, otherwise this could all happen again. As we've seen, it's not enough to be the party that gets the most seats.
Bridges doesn't seem to be getting much coverage or making much of an impact. I would love Collins to be leader and smack the lefties around, but can the public get past the Oravida stuff? Most would've forgotten, but it would be dragged up again no doubt. -
Who would National coalition with, though. The Maori Party fucked themselves. The Greens are a kookfest. When (God willing) Drunkle retires to be Ambassador to Italy or France or some other wine nation, I can't see NZF lasting long. ACT is a one seat wonder.
Bridges is a joke. He could be having a field day with all the Labour fuck ups. Maybe even he knows that he is no more than a temporary leader at best.
-
@taniwharugby Bridges is a worry. I’m beginning to think the reason he doesn’t go hard after Labour is that he doesn’t actually disagree too much with many of their actions. His halfhearted condemnation of Goff’s banning of speakers is a case in point.

In 2008 Winston was arsed from parliament completely, I reckon one of the two parties that support labour will get the arse next election.
I hope its the greens, Gharaman claimed a couple of weeks ago that she was the first female minister of defence, shes not a minister, she doesn't have anything to do with the defence portfolio either. This is the sort of thing decent opposition has a field day with, where's Bridges?

Where are any of the National MPs right now? Maybe they are being back and letting the government's idiocy speak for itself.
If the Trump experience teaches us anything, opposition complaining about the missteps of the government doesn't seem to have the desired effect -
@canefan dont need to complain and be childish about it, which is what our politicians normally do, but it'd be worth pointing some things out and leave them for people to ask and answer themselves, or let the coalition answer them...although with Winston at the helm, he manages to avoid answering questions like a champ.
