I previously thought Nash was a semi-competent MP within Labour. All I'm seeing is someone who is scared of the Forestry Lobby, and thinks getting tough on crime is telling Mike Hoskin he phoned the Police Commissioner once. I am gobsmacked at how incompetent Labour is. Casting my mind back 5 yrs ago to when I voted for them, housing, child poverty... Nope, nadda, nothing. Then they give all the universal super receivers the inflation pay increase, while the teachers are striking for exactly that, an inflation pay increase. It just makes my head hurt! Speaking of teachers. Why would anyone entertain the idea of teaching?? Money $27 ph average but its salary based with lots of before/after school work,marking,sports etc Cant discipline a child,can have paret meetings.Whoop de do.As if they work or parents even bother. Or if you are a male. All it takes is one little shit (boy or girl) to say "he touched me", or not even that anymore, just "he made me feel uncomfortable". I've said it many times about nurses, the same applies to teachers. Stop / go work pays more. Traffic Management, STMS, boring as batshit, but pays substantially more than teaching or nursing. Which one adds the most value to our society? The one that holds up traffic? |

What's saved Nash though, isn't just his popularity on ZB. He's an ally of Hipkins' on the centre/right of Labour.They are more class warriors than agents for social change, more bloke than woke, more "bread and butter" than "chardonnay socialist".He's also a rare regional success for Labour, having won Napier in 2014 when he and Damien O'Connor, in West Coast, were the only Labour MPs to win seats outside the main centres.What's more, the reasons Nash broke the Cabinet manual were to sound tough on crime and protect a local health professional; not to take a stand on identity politics.These are issues Hipkins wants to be seen as championing, not punishing. He couldn't afford the takeaway to be 'Nash spoke out against criminals and on behalf of doctors and nurses and got punished for it'.Yet these political compromises leave a taste of hypocrisy in the mouth.www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/486252/analysis-hipkins-needs-nash-for-swing-voters-at-electioni think we'll be hearing a whole lot more chipocrisy = chippy's hypocrisy
probably should plot it from his education minster days

wondered where winstone was? Peters’ speech contained several policies, including renaming Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) and changing all “every government department back to English”.“This is not an attack on the Māori language – it is an attack on the elite virtue signalers who have hijacked the language for their own socialist means.
This conceited, conniving, cultural cabal doesn’t represent hard-working ordinary Māori - they only seek to use Māori to further their own agenda,” he said.Decrying the current level of crime, Peters promised that, if he is elected, anyone who assaulted a police officer, paramedic, firefighter or Corrections officer while on duty would receive a mandatory six-month prison sentence.Being part of a gang would also be an “automatic aggravating factor” in sentencing, Peters said.www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/nz-first-leader-winston-peters-delivers-state-of-the-nation-speech/4EOIMT3VD5AQXMVLSFWQRU3X6M/ |

yes
he betrayed the centrist voters of nz by not forming a gov. with the biggest winners of the 2017 election
he betrayed the right-of-centre voters of his own party because he wanted the baubles of power a desperate labour offered him and utu on national for not agreeing with him that he was god
and 6 short years later he wants us to believe he is the cure for the rot he set loose in the heart of nz democracy
yeah, na
he's made his bed, he'll have to sleep in it
he's already written the sentence that the history will remember him by

... although when winston was in cahoots with Jacinda she didn't run as rampant as her second term. if only he did what he promotes... a bit too slippery for this former supporter.
now to find one thats not slippery...

Never voted for him, never will, but it would be very good to have him back in Parliament.
He certainly knows how to stir the pot.
He is the only 'Elder Stateman' NZ has. Name another polly with such a long career, and who has had so much impact on the political landscape.
He did keep the 1st Adhern Govt in check. But I won't ever forgive them (Shane Jones) for being in bed with the fishing industry and doing all of their bidding for them.

this is not specifically about the election, however Neil Oliver in his usual eloquent way talks about where the western world appears to be heading
his comments about Scotland paint a very similar picture to the current path NZ is being forced

so now nash is gone because he shared confidential cabinet information with donors
it appears that jacinda's office knew this years ago and sat on it...
their excuse? like nash, incompetence...
how can labour keep thinking they are qualified to govern?

Where else would they get a pay cheque like that. Plus chauffeur driven BMW, free air travel, lots of partys to name a few reasons in addition to sticking it to the minions (you & me ). See Neil Oliver podcast

""Failing to disclose documents within the scope of a valid request without justification is a breach of the Official Information Act."Today, National Party deputy leader Nicola Willis said they were "explosive revelations" and the request had been explicit."How could this letter possibly have been out of scope?"The Prime Minister's Office actively conspired to cover up information which demonstrated serious ministerial misconduct."Not only did they know about Stuart Nash's letter last year, they broke the law in order to keep that letter from the New Zealand public.""The minute the Prime Minister's Office became aware of Stuart Nash's letter, they should have released it. That they did not do so, that they broke the Official Information Act in order to cover it up, shows an arrogant, entitled government that no longer has respect for the ethics of this Parliament. It's a disgrace."www.1news.co.nz/2023/03/30/government-broke-the-oia-over-nash-emails-national/
