@jegga Ha!! so she jumped before she had to fess up that there was even more. It's gotten to the point where there appears to have been so much correspondence that her earlier claims about 'not recalling' are just straight out bollocks. So she's gone from being an inept numpty to being outed as an inept numpty liar!!

Our minister for open government, bwahahaha .
This isn’t over either, National must have a fair idea what she’s been doing with that email account and will keep needling away.

@jegga St Cindy was on TV this morning saying that anyone can obtain copies of her work related emails through her gmail if they apply under the OIA.
Surely she has deleted a ton of them?
I have had a couple of occasions where someone does not receive emails form my work address (nor do I get theirs sent to my work address) so I send them to my gmail and forward them on and then when they reply to my gmail I forward on as well.
But then I'm not a Minister paid by the tax payer.

@taniwharugby St Jacinda would say that , it’s pretty obvious she’s as full of shit as any other politician. Fortunately she doesn’t appear to actually be the pm .

@taniwharugby Call me old fashioned, but I don't believe ANY government official should be doing work business from a gmail account.
-
@mokey oh I agree...just saying I have had 2 instances where I have had issues with my work emails being recieved, but given the high level of security with what they are doing, I expect they have processes in place for things like this (although in her case, was probably just dumbarseness that she chose to use her gmail for work rather than a tech issue like mine)
-
@taniwharugby Oh yeah, tech issues are a bit different. The Transport Agency had a rubbish server and IT dept, people often had problems with emails (even emailing within the company) getting rejected for some random reason. (Not bad language type reason.) And logging on remotely.

Snigger , after three weeks of nothing but bad news suddenly Ms relentlessly positive is unavailable for interviews

Jacindas no show is the lead story on the herald , I think we know why she’s pulled the pin though. Currans got her even deeper in the shit , Handleys contract has been terminated no doubt because of the dodgy way he was hired.

The comments are glorious, the press have finally started to turn on labour and even the usual barrage of labour fanboys in the comments section are getting dozens and dozens of downvotes and stuff is actually letting people point out how wrong the fanboys are.
Winston is playing this very well, Shane Jones is gaining more profile and I can see a scenario where Winstons hands the reins over to him . Jones has a track history of working with national so it could be goodbye to Ardern in two years, I'd be a bit worried if I was a green mp right now, the only thing they have got profile for is Golly Gs lying and Davidson trying to reclaim the word fluffybunny. -

@jegga Let's be real. Jacinda never stood a chance against Winston. And he knew it. Cunning and experience will always defeat chirpy twit.
yep, plenty of our 'journos' that have been pretty aggressive with English, Key and others always seem pretty tame when interviewing old Whinny, he is the master politician.

I hope Winston's spoiler tactics don't result in more votes from the centre-right. After all, it's his fault we're in this mess
This is a nice summary. Ardern is screwed

It will surprise the hell out of me if Winston is planning on handing any reins to anyone any time soon.
For all the succession plans he might want to build, NZ First is the Peters Party. I reckon the day he quits they'll shed a third of their supporters.
Jones seems like a rude, obnoxious fucker - not sure he's got the electoral appeal of Peters - who is himself a rude obnoxious fucker, but somehow he manages to sell it!
Peters is quite possibly doing a good job though - I haven't looked at the bills and things he's pulled the rug on, but they don't sound like things that are critical to the economy or governance of the country.

If anything he’s mostly saved them from themselves by opposing dropping three strikes and upping the refugee quota. He still let them destroy and industry and fuck over a region to get the sex scandal off the front pages so there’s that.
