Then you paddle out the back again ;-)

Hard News: News media meets new media:…, in reply to Andre,
Exactly, regulatory bodies don't operate like the Courts do. Make the law the law and enforce it, make it transparent, make it cost effective /not going to happen, ever/.

OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
We are all in this together type thing.
Definitely, the anti-Patriarch stance.

Well you know when the others zag you zig...
Post, Jacinda Ardern took it to the streets. -
They could always go for the co-leader approach. Politics needs less lamppost pissing in my opinion /likely to never happen/.

"Wild West out there in cyberspace"
"Simon Power called for a review..."
"The Law Commission has come up with in the discussion paper..."
"...and it dwelt on problems that, while difficult to address at a practical level, seemed largely covered by existing law,..."This cycle itself merits greater scrutiny, Simon gets knickers in a twist, money is spent, perceived problem not addressed, money is spent, what was the problem?

True dat.

Got to give Key credit for jamming home the differences. Labour is stale, simple. Key never takes his eyes off his competitor, and he gives out clues. Remember he said that Labour totally underestimated him? Remember the debates with Cullen? Remember he was very wary of engaging with Clarke in public?
Labour lack smarts, and I am too wary to mention the out of date union tactics. -
It's gone Presidential,
"I move them not because I think they've done a bad job in their portfolio but because I want to freshen up that responsibility, someone may have come to me and said they are interested in trying something new. If everyone does the same thing the whole time, I think it has a stale feel to it and I don't want that.
I want an invigorating cabinet."

Labour hasn't got the organisation to counter this style of politics, and frankly the electorate prefers it, with a side salad of greens ;-) two leaders and all that, only on the side.
What Labour is not seeing is the writing on the wall, Goff proved that you can't suddenly get your suit inlaid with paua and expect to become the nest (heh) President. And when we go republic, guess who that will be?
