OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Kumara Republic,
That's not all that Fran's article skipped over lightly. There are so many deep rifts between the various interests written about that a real well researched article on what National intend to do for NZ business would be, well unacceptable on so many levels.
I could also argue that there is so much interference and bad blood between Govt. and trade business interests that there is only one word to describe it...rooted. -
OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Sacha,
Aw come on it is exciting, it's the NZ Biz Rountrouble afterall. What was awesome was reading how Fran got round the fact that most of the NZBR are offshore most of the time and probably don't either have a stake in nor pay tax in NZ.

Oh dear, now John with the counter balance, nicely hyperbolic too. Does Fairfax own Woman's Day perchance?

Choice quotes,David Shearer will make mistakes. He will make wrong calls. He will say things he will regret.
Shearer will bring change by making the party less hostage to the political correctness that still plagues its image. He is interested in things that work, rather than whether they fit the party's doctrine. Shearer will not fight old battles merely to make the party feel good about itself.
He will make the party's various groups - union affiliates, Labour women, Labour youth, Maori, Pasifika, gays and so on - start working for the party rather than feeding off it.
He will promote on merit, not quotas. He intends to transform a seriously flabby political institution into a slick political machine.
...then I got sleepy and wondered where page 3 was, beside the astro predictions that John and Fran ghost co-write?
And it gets more fascinating, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz-labour-party/news/article.cfm?o_id=264&objectid=10773072
All the bloogers there, substantive. -

National will not be content until Labour are destroyed, revenge for '35 still burns cold.
