  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus,

    Is it possible that we could actually reverse our own impoverishment?

    It fucking better be. It's a concept that will be crudely fixed by a surge of dollars to the middle class and yes, full employment, do you really think the unemployed homosapiens dig their lives, they either rot or get employed in activities that don't get taxed.

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Well, that is poor from the guy who reached across the aisle for the no-smacking bill. Labour know poverty they just know it's a vote loser to campaign on it at the moment.

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus,

    Merc, National are Government. But we have short terms which probably helps the left more than the right as the potential for overturning a parliament is good ,and in real bizness it creates a business uncertainty which big money find uncomfortable and we know now surely that an overpour of big money tends to crash economies.

    The reality of the growing poverty in this country is undebatable now, the answers are all with the Labour Party . The electorate is at the moment asleep to its compounding factors.

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus,

    Are you sure it was the content, and not delivery, or just the enormous lag that there is in trying to get a message through to millions of people

    Well put. Poverty and Climate change, some parliament has to address these issues for the good of the country. Poverty concern isn't left or right it's just a problem we were told wouldn't be with us in 2011. Krugmans calling it a Depression.
    Poverty is our national problem.

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus,

    Mercer sounds like he’s freaking out. You shouldn’t introduce a panic in this interview, Shearer sounds reasoned at the start, Mercer speeds the interview up to a pace that sounds like a man on speed. Pointless to harass mistakes in media surely?

    On first listen Shearer has the tone of many CEO's I have worked under. Cunliffe as a communicator suffers from Judith Collins syndrome, he sounds like he is about to explode very soon. I think that's his (Shearers ) charm, he sounds reasoned.

    He's not going to have policy to announce, it would be an arrogance to the party members if he did. Labour care about the poor except it costs them elections, he has to reason with the swing voters who swing sometimes right up to ballot box day.

  • Hard News: The perils of political confidence,

    This election feels like its just been invaded by a bad movie.

    It's all about the "floating" 4% vote as far as I can see. Will they go left, will they go right. The majority of the electorate know their vote.

    If National win an outright that's a brillant political move from the right, crosby-textor earned their money. And they are odds-on to if the polls are to believed. Considering the opportunities mmp gives to fractionise votes away from left and right traditional voting patterns it is a considerable testimony to the call of the National Party flag in this country.

    The 2000's Labour achieved a low 40% vote at their most popular mmp election day and that was a popular Labour Party.

  • Hard News: The Minister's Brain Has Exploded,

    I mean you can see by the record released today a long succession of incidents that may have lead to major tragedy , imagine if there had been deaths on the line, that had to be investigated. If it was your call you'd investigate right?

    Who pulled the alarms and why, who walked on the tracks, who is that ignorant or wear their real problems in the carriages? What was going on in the carriagesl?
