@jegga Why have one working group when you can have nine fucking working groups and spend a fuckton more money on consultants while achieving no concrete changes whatsoever? Maybe they'll get another report this November which advises the nine groups to become 18 because they really need more info.
It's probably less money that they'd waste actually implementing stuff and if the Nats can get their shit together and win it will mean less dismantling of bad policy. Having said that, in the past Labour often put stuff in place that the Nats could then tweak. Not this time
Yeah national adopted Wff , KiwiSaver and the Cullen fund when they got elected. This shower of shit makes Clark era labour look better every day I don’t see any of the forward thinking stuff Clark bought in coming out of these people.
They are on board with Cullens addiction to tax though .

@jegga I would really, REALLY love to know why these seemingly good people get treated like shit, the ones with viable businesses and community input, and that drug dealing fraud gets the golden ticket.
It’s worth reading what Labours shill blog said about him again
The best thing about this is every time a worthwhile person gets told to leave by immigration the Czech scumbags name is going to come up again to haunt Ardern .

@jegga through accident or (inept) design they keep backing the wrong horse in the right race, and are blind to backing down and admitting fault. We've seen several instances where NZ'ers would support special cases for people who don't quite meet the tick boxes to stay, yet they are staying the course on a guy who is dubious in the extreme (aka a piece of shit with minimal potential for redemption).
Aside from the 'fearing for his life' back home situation I'm looking for us to make exceptions for people clearly adding something to NZ. With a caveat around billionaires buying their citizenship to build their zombie apocalypse bunkers! We should take their money then send them a copy of Bad Taste and a chainsaw named Derek.

Labour really are quite out of touch with reality arent they?
I bet they would be tearing shreds off National if the Schrobeck thing and now these other 2 high profile immigration issues were on thier watch, why isnt National making more of a big deal about them?
Is a prime opportunity to show thier immigration ideals are fucked, some reporter really needs to get Winny to comment on these, the Shhrobeck issue will be doing his head in.

Most of them are sipping the Labour kool aid. Meanwhile the Shane Jones slush fund might not be creating jobs after all. What a surprise

That’s bullshit . It’s created over 120 jobs.
In Wellington.
I think the glitter is fading as far as the press and the coalition are concerned . There’s more and more negative stuff appearing in the news like the pm having no clue about the treaty which is all of three paragraphs long.

@canefan said in NZ Politics:
And the public don't seem to be that interested when figures in the media speak out. I guess we will find out how people really feel at the next election
I was thinking about that the other day and I remembered the 2014 election and all the press coverage was pro labour and very negative towards national and on Election Day the people that actually vote saw to it labour and the Greens were hammered.
Got to love the silent majority.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback really feels that they've lost their way in challenging performance (or lack thereof) without it falling into ideological or personal attacks, or some kind of fawning over the party/MP as a way to say it isn't their fault.
Is it too much to ask for to get objective reporting... seems like it!!

So Jacko has gone from 'get tough on film studios' to 'who do we need to blow to get filming done here'. And it still might not be enough

If this sees the end of Bridges better to happen now than lose the next election

@antipodean said in NZ Politics:
@canefan jesus wept - how can they not be in a winning position?
They are losing the personality battle, and these days it counts for a lot. Even if they attacked Labour relentlessly, is there any guarantee the public will agree? Say what you want about Jacko, she seems to cut a sympathetic figure with the media and the average Joe at the moment

An incumbent govt will always have alot of goodwill and incredibly enough that can continue regardless of their fups. Nobody wants to admit they made a mistake so early in the piece. That would make them look stupid. A new opposition leader is often on a hiding to nothing. Maybe it's best to use a lightweight as cannon fodder in the first couple of years?

so with all the things Nats can have a crack at Labour over, they choose the fact a supposedly unregistered Air NZ plane was turned away from China was due to a
deteriorating relationship with China.I honestly thought Bridges was moving in the right direction late last year, but he just doesnt seem to have the goods to move Nats forward.
