Matthew Hooton and Patrick Gower have had their pay day with destabilising the leader of Labour once again and Andrew Little has stepped down.

We highlight what happened behind the scenes in this exclusive here, Andrew Little is a good man and would have made an incredibly decent Prime Minister, I believe he has been let down by his advisers and communications team and that once he lost Matt as his backroom head kicker, he was open to undermining by the factions.

The King is dead, long live the Queen?

UPDATE: Jacinda has just been elected as the new Leader of the Labour Party with Kelvin Davis as Deputy

  1. All Labour leaders in recent years, including Helen Clarke have had to endure nothing but shit and we know where that comes from.

    National has a rotten propaganda unit running at Labour 24 hours a day.
    And until the Labour party gets a handle on this it will continue no matter who takes over as leader.
    Labour must fight fire , with fire.

  2. The first thing I said when Key stepped down is that it meant the powers that be did not intend National to win this election, or he wouldn’t have quit. The government *will* change this year, but it will not make a damn bit of difference in terms of the government’s continued servitude to the US Empire.

    The constant fluff pieces about Ardern’s personal life and background (politics degree, professional career in MP’s offices) have been coming thick and strong all year, which led to me repeatedly asserting in private that she was being openly groomed for the leadership by the media, long prior to Little’s departure and that that would happen prior to the election.

    The biggest lesson I have learned about politics so far is that NO ONE engages in more meddling in elections and democracy than the media.

    Because the media is the PR arm of the international deep state.

    There are two 36 year old women running for Parliament this year. But only one has an ‘approved’ stamp from The Empire because they know she will tow the line.

    That is why O’Connor jumped on the Labour bandwagon. While New Zealanders are tricked into believing they have a choice this election, they really don’t. The billionaires and FVEY decide who wins. Only organising outside Parliament will bring substantial change to our country.

    We have to do away with the politics-grad-to-Parliament pipeline. We need real people in power. People who remember what New Zealand was like when it had independent foreign policy, free education, state housing, and led the world in human rights.

    Now we lead the world in spying legislation and homelessness.

    Ardern won’t fix that and neither will this election.

    We need people who are willing to put their lives on the line if need be, to claw our sovereignty back. Because believe me, that’s the level of commitment it takes, if you want to make substantial change.

    Time to step up New Zealand. You can’t wait for heroes anymore. You need to be the heroes.

      • Jacinda may not bring that much change, not the change many here hope for, but she seems determined now, and may be more competent and experienced than some have thought, to lead the party.

        She has one thing in common with former Mr Sunshine, that is John Key, she is also a Leo, born under the same Zodiac sign. That makes for firm and driven leadership skills, I have heard.

    • I think John Key’s departure had more to do with the Panama Papers than anything else. The Panama Papers have now claimed two Prime Ministers – the first being Greenland’s and the second Pakistan’s.

      Key’s a crook and the PP’s crime is much bigger than him, so he had to go.

    • Have just been listening to Suzie being interviewed on Radio New Zealand, and if half of what she is saying is true W.T.F. is going on? Does anyone have an opinion on her / whether what she is saying is true? To be honest pretty hard to decide what is going on with anything unless you have personal experience of whatever it is . .

    • Suzie’s comment;

      “Because the media is the PR arm of the international deep state.”

      Many people may have heard the terms Deep State or Shadow Government but may not fully understand who, what or how these terms relate to our Gvt and polititions.

      Because of the Internet,the world has woken to the fact that a relatively small group of people / families actually control both sides of the left/right divide in
      (at least) our Western Governments and they do so in various ways.

      Eg; Rockerfeller was a member of the Fabian Society, which was responsible in
      creating the Labour Movement and the Union System to actually represent the
      working/lower middle classes in the first place.

      It seems that Oligarchs create many Societies etc that are supposed to appear to
      represent the ‘Left or Right’ but, as in many spheres, they actually control both sides by being intermingled at the very top levels.

      “Rothschild, Rockefeller and allied interests were the primary moving force behind liberal (i.e., left-wing) initiatives like “free trade,” “world peace,” “universal brotherhood” and “world organisation,” inexorably leading to the abolition of national sovereignty and the imposition of world government. They were also behind Socialism as a device for bribing and controlling the working class through operations like the Fabian Society and the Milner Group.”

      And;
      “The Fabians’ drive for total control was not restricted to the working classes. The Society’s declared aim was to capture and control all British citizens “for its profit and their own good” (Fabian News, Sept. 1897). For this purpose and in addition to politics, it set out to control education, culture, economy, the legal system and even medicine and religion.”

      Also;
      “Outside Britain, the Fabian Society’s ultimate goal – which it has pursued through the Labour Party and other front organisations like the Socialist International and the United Nations – has been the establishment of a Socialist World Government (Ratiu, 2012).”

      https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2017/06/12/what-does-the-corbyn-result-in-the-uk-mean-for-new-zealand/
      Extract;
      “The Fabian Society used to have a motto “Wolf in Sheeps Clothing.”
      They set up the Labour Party and the Union Movement and their goal is
      “ by increment and stealth” set a path to One World Government,”
      (The Hegelian Dialectic)

      What Suzie is talking about below is the fact that many Prime Ministers may
      well be identified / flagged / groomed many years before they take office.(Clarke,Adern?)

      Ie; No one gets to be PM unless they are thoroughly vetted.

      “We have to do away with the politics-grad-to-Parliament pipeline. We need real people in power. People who remember what New Zealand was like when it had independent foreign policy, free education, state housing, and led the world in human rights.”

      “Ardern won’t fix that and neither will this election.”

      “Time to step up New Zealand. You can’t wait for heroes anymore.
      You need to be the heroes.”

      In my book that means your vote counts and in this moment in time,
      there is only one suitable candidate in NZ with a chance that is not
      inside this Controlable Club.
      ie; Winston Peters. He has the skills.
      This is why he is always demonized.
      Forget what he may or may not have done 20yrs ago or less.

      If we want any real change http://www.nzfirst.org.nz/ is our only vehicle.
      Remember; it is the Media and Spin that forms our public opinion.

      Cheers.

      This is so important that I urge everybody to spend the time and
      actually read the links contained above to fully understand.
      (“Trust me, I know what I am doing.”)

  3. the traitors must have really pissed him off!

    …oh well …GO WINSTON PETERS for PRIME MINISTER!

    …Labour voters should vote NZF or Greens

  4. Totally pissed off.

    We just lost a decent honest candidate for Prime Minister.

    Because of vicious subversive wankers both within the media and inside the Labour party itself.

    Now more than ever before Labour needs to cull these scum bastards out of that party.

  5. National have been controlling the Labour Party since 1984, nothing has changed, time for people to wake up and vote NZF and Winston Peters otherwise this country is well and truely F%&ked ?

  6. Very sad, especially when the message gets lost in the obsession with what is basically a vicious “reality show”. It looks like a carefully-planned ambush together with some mishandling. What is wrong with honesty? why don’t more people care about social issues?
    Oh well…….3 more years of Natzis in power.

  8. Same old tricks every election,National attack dogs rubbish the opposition,and get away with it every time, just like last election when John Key used Whale Oil and dirty politics,they will have a go at Jacinda Aherne next.
    If Winston Is supporting National,might as well vote National, which goes against the grain.No one in Northland seems interested in elections if they are they are keeping quiet,i predict a very low turnout.

  9. Labour voters MUST VOTE GREEN OR NZF OTHERWISE YOU ARE BASICALLY VOTING FOR NATIONAL AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER ?

  10. Labour voters MUST VOTE GREEN OR NZF OTHERWISE YOU ARE BASICALLY VOTING FOR NATIONAL AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER ?

    • +100 SHONA…and why was Little so gutless?….unless he wants revenge

      I remember some woman saying as if in entitlement “Never mind Jacinda, your turn will come!” …well it has

  13. Absolutely gutted. Andrew Little was a good and decent man who would have been a great PM – in these uncertain times someone tactical but cautious could have been a real asset to this country. Like Helen Clark, real brains and passion behind the persona.

    Every time MSM talks about National, National start losing in the polls. Solution, just fill the headlines with fake news about Greens and now Labour, leadership challenges.

    Now the MSM can probably fill up the next 2 months with news about Little stepping down and Labour, and make sure that the worst possible robot, Bill English is protected to get National through another election.

    The biggest threat to a change of government and a better NZ under Labour and Greens, is Little resigning. Sadly National’s election strategy is well under way.

    Why did Little resign? The tactic of bullying and continual fake news stories, not to mention the scenic hotels litigation to push as much pressure on the guy. It’s fucking outrageous. It’s not democracy.

    I hate National more now. If you are against bullying by National and their helpers in the MSM, burn some papers, switch off the TV and VOTE Labour and Greens.

  14. Gower, Garner, Espiner, Hosking and the rest of the dirty dogs are incredibly dumb!
    What they really needed to do was try and keep Little in the job so that National could sleepwalk to the polls.
    But they overplayed their hand.
    Their vicious vitriol worked too well, the object of their derision has stepped aside and they now have a more popular, younger smart female as leader of Labour.
    Now National have a major political opponent who can draw younger and first time voting support to a level that Little could not have hoped to achieve.
    But.
    That all depends on whether the Labour caucus and party at large are willing to hang together, or hang separately (to paraphrase Benjamin Frankin).
    I still think it will be a repeat of 2014 where Labour constituency candidates largely campaigned for their own electorate vote and didn’t give a stuff about the party vote because many of them preferred to be in opposition rather than be in government with a leader they didn’t personally endorse.
    I don’t believe Jacinda Ardern’s elevation to Labour Party will be a game changer, I still don’t think Labour will form the next government, but it could wake up some and get them thinking positively instead of chucking the election now – as Garner, Espiner, Gower et al are hoping.

  15. the ruling class will only tolerate an NZ Labour Party that maintains the neo liberal consensus with Nats, Reserve Bank Act etc.

    but the New Zealand working class will ignore Labour until it breaks with Rogernomics/Ruthanasia fully and finally

    • 100% Tiger Mountain.

      If jacinda does not denounce Rogernomics we are all beaten.

      Labour must revert back to the grand old workers party and ever again try to be the National -lite version as has been for so long.

  16. The ABCers have woken from the dead and taken over again, the knives are out, and Labour is screwed now, for many years to come, change can only come from the base, they need a Corbyn type of leader, one who goes back to the roots. Jacinda is only the Women’s Weekly kind of leader they will get, should she be voted for as leader.

    http://www.nowtolove.co.nz/news/current-affairs/jacinda-and-andrew-31576

    I admit though she was good in an interview on the Nation or so recently, time will tell, how dedicated and able she is. But for this election, I cannot see her be the PM and leader of an alternative government, not yet.

    Labour voters, CHANGE and VOTE GREENS NOW!

    Those who feel they cannot, at least consider TOP or otherwise then Winston First.

    • HC the ABC’s were always there hiding in the shadows like androids.
      Michael Joseph Savage would turn in his grave should he know of this.

      Be that as it may, we have to concentrate now on the big task at hand, to eject this toxic national carpetbagger of a junta and send them off in a leaky boat that they cant row.

  18. A change of leader now won’t change Labour’s tired third way/neoliberal platform.
    What a farce. Where’s the manifesto like UK Labour’s?

    Maybe in 3 years time…

  19. I will still vote Labour. Despite my disgust.

    And it will be a Labour led govt this September. I’m picking that Jacinda will opt for Deputy PM , and Kelvin will accept the PM’s job. Winston will form a coalition because Winston and Kelvin get along.

    And the Greens will be on board because of their social policy’s.

    The new Labour leader and Winston wont oppose that because that will be a big part of the ticket that ensures a Labour / Green / NZ First win.

    And Mattew Hooton will be pissed off as the guy blamed for helping NZ to slowly edge its way back to a genuine social democracy.

  20. Queen Jacinda:Martyn says “She will claw back voters who the Greens have picked up, appeals to female voters who voted for Key and makes a huge impact on the youth vote.

    Kelvin likewise had no hand in moving against Little and he will be the first Maori to ever be Deputy leader of the Labour Party and will give him real muscle against Hone in Te Tai Tokerau.

    It’s a powerful team, and has a real chance of winning.”

    We sincerely hope this is the right outcome Martyn.

    We need to keep focussed on the final goal – to rid the National Party and their toxic aggressive slash & burn sellout policies & hideous creeping austerity and robbing the poor and middle class together while enriching the rich.

    Vote for Labour/ NZ First/Greens instead of the old order that are killing this country of ours.

  21. Me not being a fanatical Labour supporter and one whom was, up until now, not planning to vote Labour is now thinking that Labour are serious about winning this election. My vote is now undecided.

    I like Jacinda and I like Kelvin. I’ll be taking a very keen interest in them over the next few weeks.

  22. Matthew Hooton and Patrick Gower can’t be blamed for this farce. Labour leaders and rank and file need to accept responsibilty and get their act sorted out.

    And Bill Bloody English can keep his mouth shut as he was in this position in 2002!

  25. Well, I may have to review my earlier comments a little. While Jacinda is only 36 or 37 (her birthday is on 26 July), her first public speech as Labour leader was polished and showing competence. Also does the caucus appear unified enough:

    http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/336241/live-jacinda-ardern-gives-first-media-conference-as-labour-leader

    We will get positivism, it seems, I think, we may now have a female New Zealand version of Justin Trudeau here, with perhaps a better chance to turn the tide than some may expect.

    Question is what change will come in policy, if it is much of the same, they may get some votes off National, but the left of centre will be there for the Greens to occupy now.

  26. Check out the Stuff website bloody Natz supporters hate Jacinda already… It sucks shez only been in the job 5min. These people are not human.

    • I think National supporters are all androids designed to fill in as voters to boost National’s election chances and nothing else.

  28. The handling of this shambles is a prime example of the mess Labour are in.

    The advise and communications have been pathetic.

    Perhaps it’s best if the whole party just stands aside and let the left unify under the Greens?

    Changing the cover won’t fix the deep-seated problems within.

    IMO it’s not that their policy isn’t getting out there, it’s that it largely falls short, hence is failing to widely resonate.

    Moreover, despite their claim their policy isn’t being heard, they’ve yet to announce a good number of them.

    Last election the excuse was voters didn’t understand them, which begs the question, if they are not being heard and voters have trouble understanding them, why are they holding off releasing their full policy package? Do they believe giving voters less time to hear and wrap their heads around their policy is going to help improve things? The logic doesn’t stack up.

    Additionally, Labour can’t expect to muster large support when voters are unsure what Labour will actually do.

    For example, last election Labour were proposing radical changes to Kiwisaver which raised some voter concern – and with around 8 weeks till the next election, voters are none the wiser on what they will do.

    Which fails to inspire voter support.

    Therefore, Labour require far more than just a face change.

    Turn Labour left – and if they don’t want to go left, then best they just get out of the way.
