The best thing about The Nashy (Suns out, Guns out), is that he is a decent enough bloke that he can be shamed.
He isn’t the grand master of Machiavellian Dark Grift, he’s just a boofhead who big notes.
He’s not a bad person, just a dick with a heart of gold. And great guns.
Thankfully his shame means he won’t run to the bosom of Winston and stand for NZF.
He has instead decided to not run at the next election.
The pressure on Labour over their flat footedness and bewildering exposure to corporate lobbyists has reached a point where it is hurting Labour politically and so The Nashy (Suns out, Guns out), does the brave thing and walks the plank.
The Nashy (Suns out, Guns out), is leaving the building, and he may be sometime.
This wound, this stupid, self inflicted, this what-the-fuck-are-you-saying-Stuart-are-you-sure-you-understand-the-mic-is-live event of mind numbing idiocy has burnt us all as we eye up an election 7 months from now, but Comrades, I say unto ye, in this darkest of dark hours, I have faith in the Labour Party of Aotearoa New Zealand.
I have faith in the Chippy, I have faith in his Cabinet.
I believe cometh the hour, cometh the man, and the enormous impact this economic recession is going to cause means Labour have to pull out a policy of spectacular egalitarian value.
I believe this Labour Party are going to do that, and I believe it will be paradigm shifting in terms of the election.
Hold Comrades, for there is a North Star, and our Red Dawn is coming!
Hold Comrades!
Hold!

and chippies answer is a VOLONTARY code of conduct formulated by the lobbyists, a wet bus ticket looks like cruel and unusual punishment by comparison
Don’t worry at least Chippie knows what a woman is… or not:
https://theplatform.kiwi/podcasts/episode/prime-minister-of-nz-asked-what-is-a-woman
Turns out he hadn’t been briefed on what constitutes a woman.
This guy was in charge of education lol
Ok Keep Calm what’s your definition of a woman
Adult human female, Queeny.
Same question to yourself?
Keepcalmcarryon. The unfortunate man (???) needed to pause, to think very carefully about whose side he’s on.
Chippie is a bit thick. He obviously has never had an original thought. Or isn’t allowed to think. Labour is dead. I’ve been trying to resign from the Party for the last week and a half. Do you think they’re answering their phones or responding to voicemails? No. Could anybody who has successfully resigned please tell me how they did it?
@Gagarin the government must only use the wet bus ticket when it means business, that is for business, by business. How can MPs expect to move on from public service without a healthy lobbying industry?
sarcasm is always appreciated tui, good one
A red dawn? Unlikely, it’s clear blue skies & a bright yellow sun to herald a bright dawn after an overcast red sunset and a long, dark night.
In Finland they have seen the bright northern lights…
Yes Finland has seen the light.
Change your glasses bro they’re stained like your brain.
A bit of sunshine, you’ll love it, all the dank, dark fog that plagues our nation will be burned away.
But what actually does ‘red dawn’ actually mean?
I thought it was ‘sailor’s warning’, meaning approaching bad weather.
If the writer thinks the red dawn is a good thing, I hope I am wrong.
With Labour, the bad weather is already here.
I just heard Graeme Edgeler describe Him as ‘talented’ (RNZ Checky Pointy)
Just goes to show the ‘talented’ and those with above average IQs don’t necessarily have too many clues – as has always been the case. Especially when their egos get in the way.
It’s possible this phenomenon might be a feature of Chinless Wonders and Its ilk, and quite a few conceited politicians, Peter Principled public servants (especially those dealing in policy), and others that profess membership to the 4th Estate.
Sadly, Martyn’s “Hold!” order will instead come from the Milton Friedman acolytes infesting Treasury, who seem to have G. Roberston in their thrall. No “spectacular egalitarian value” for you today, sorry.
Q: Is there anyone in this National-lite Govt. with sufficient self belief in their appreciation of economics, to chart a different course?
A: Not on the evidence of the last 6 years.
But I do admire your optimism Martyn. I do indeed.
yup just like the soviet old guard treasury cannot come to terms with the fact their theories do not work and their experiment has failed
Chippy will force Grant Robertson to actually spend money. Robbo will kick and scream (he seems to love austerity as much as an Act MP) but will grudgingly loosen the purse strings. Because they are ultimately politicians with a survival instinct, and the Labour Party base is class left NOT the identity obsessed woke.
The working class have a gut full of politicians who say lovely kind things but do sweet F.A. to resolve the grinding poverty endemic to this country. If this budget fails the people, I expect a huge reversal in the election.
Be nice @roblogic:
“Chippy will force Grant Robertson to actually spend money. Robbo will kick and scream (he seems to love austerity as much as an Act MP)…………”
The Grunter is merely operating within the neoliberal framework and economic orthodoxy he’s only ever experienced and grown up with. It’s Norman Normal to Him and it doesn’t require any imagination or questioning of the faith. It’ll keep working as designed just so long as the spin doctors can find the appropriate words, and the natives don’t start getting too restless. So far, those natives are still in ‘Yea/nah’ mode

Johan T. “ It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.”
Hahahahaha. The great ginger hope will have to fix a collapsed health system, crumbling school system and general lawlessness. Good luck.
The only thing in his favour is on the other side Te Reo seems determined to market himself as a woke corporate therefore not endearing himself to those on the right or the left.
As for Nash – clearly there is more to come hence the cauterised wound activity going on in the background.
” The pressure on Labour over their flat footedness and bewildering exposure to corporate lobbyists has reached a point where it is hurting Labour politically and so The Nashy (Suns out, Guns out), does the brave thing and walks the plank. ”
Right so had his indiscretions not come to light ( as his previous ones in post 2017 ) he would still be a minister ?
Hipkins also would not have recognised the problem with lobbyists and their influence because he like all the other members of the cabinet never saw a problem with it and Faafoi would have been welcomed as an old mate and a colleague.
” I have faith in the Chippy, I have faith in his Cabinet ”
Well Bomber I hope that faith of yours is not misplaced , that’s a pretty big statement to make given your hostile posts regarding the abysmal state of many of our people at the hands of this free market Labour government which Labour is a contradiction in terms.
Your faith must be secured by some inside information ? because nothing I have heard from the PM or Robertson points to any backdown from unregulated capitalism by the language they are using in recent interviews.
” The pressure on Labour over their flat footedness and bewildering exposure to corporate lobbyists has reached a point where it is hurting Labour politically ”
Had this been a real Labour party and government ..you know the one that used to stand against the cruelties of unregulated capitalism in support of the many then corporate lobbyists would never should never ben in a position to hurt the NZLP.
This is not a Labour party , it is a flat footed , corporate alternative to the other option of the National ACT party who have one thing in common their own greed and hatred of the class of people you say you stand for.
” He’s not a bad person, just a dick with a heart of gold. And great guns. ”
We don’t need dicks with a heart of gold like this who stand for Labour but really work for their corrupt donors but for the many who have been left to the ravages of this economic system.
Mosa sticks it to the Labour Party, And their supporters.
‘they don’t like it up’em sarge, they don’t like it up’em!’
in all fairness nats are even more easily bought than LINO it’s a SYSTEMATIC problem with NZ governance
When those increased mortgage interest payments hit the middle-class in Aug that is when egalitarian Labour largesse will be required and if the budget heads off that crisis it can buy the election. Who is going to vote for the austerity Act?
yup more socialism for the middle class will be wheeled out….
you over leverage on a loan(that’s what a mortgage is) and rates go up that’s your bad decision making.
Funny.
What does Matt Hooten say about his old mate?
Just recommended Countryboy to Bill Manhire on Twitter as a prose poet but you’re doing pretty well yourself.
Unlike his adoptive great grandfather, Walter (who had a major ego and anti-socialist attitude himself) Stuart didn’t understand two things. Politics and for the Labour cause you actually have to have serious ideas about the people’s good. Don’t doubt that about Roge.
“The Nashy (Suns out, Guns out)” – I don’t get the reference, so I won’t comment about the slashed Nash.
However, Bomber, what a desperate sounding prayer, you are trying to convince with –
“Comrades, I say unto ye, in this darkest of dark hours, I have faith in the Labour Party of Aotearoa New Zealand.

(after a few reds, in a maudlin manner, were you and Comrade Cnris Trotsky and others of TDB commie choir, the Bolshie Blubberers, repeating that over and over with increasing incoherence?)
Ah comrades. Let’s rejoice in living in the 1950s when communism was a dream for the proletariat, where our labours made us free no? Oh you mean there was an elite who took more, lied more, defended their own existence, thought they knew how to run your life better than you did and happily kept you in your place as a servant to their ideology. Martyn’s dream for labour is here comrade.
My faith is sorely tested.
Yesterday I read that out defense forces have such staffing shortages that…
The Army cannot assist to anywhere near the standard the government want in the Hawkes Bay.
The to Navy have ships sitting at Devonport tied up, useless, as there are insufficient sailors to sail them.
The Airforce had to retire the Orions 5 months early because there were insufficient staff to fly them.
The combined military are paying large monthly incentive sums to retain staff who want to leave just to cling on to them a bit longer. I realise the rot set in over many governments but actually, what is Labouring doing in year 6 of their term?
At the heart of this they, in a majority government, are supposed to maintain the defense forces yet appear incapable of doing so and probably oblivious. We have any idiot minister participating at violent demonstrations. We have the Stuart Nash debacle. But what else is worth the time of day with Labour!
Its extremely hard to have any faith in this government to achieve anything but empty announcements and headlines!
It’s a Red Dwarf that is coming for the NZ election this year!
eH! NEW LIVING WAGE, eh! $26 what. 1988, SKILLED Union members,construction and like,$28.60,homes costs afforded that wage, and yes it was a wage negotiated under compulsory Unionism, as this year progresses and Morgaged home go on sale for default, maybe those lost, would have liked to have worked with Union care, and compulsory Unionism, in 1988.
There is no hope when your PM does not know what a woman is. There is no hope when you realise he is just like the woman he replaced…”…sorry I have no preformulated answer to that question.” Fuck what a lame arse dodger.
It is pure insanity that a Prime Minister cannot state a biological fact of what defines a real woman because he will get cancelled, possibly even beaten up, going by Albert Park standards.
The look of his face was priceless though, pretty much replicating the Captain of the Titanic/iceberg moment – type of look. Minus 27 out of 10 Chippy, you shit the bed fella!
Some of the people of this country including the entire Green Party apparatus, and plenty in Labour and the main stream media especially, have gone down a truly crazy rabbit hole into Alice in Wonderlands hookah pipe smoking reality!
You might as well crucify a Centre- Left focus-group politician asking that. A Green would know how to answer. There are transgender people.
You are a total idiot Kraut.
who really fuckin cares, I mean really cares what a woman is, other than as a housebrick to sling at the opposition….a gotcha….and it’s getting boring and more irelivant everyday..do something useful break the duopoly etc etc etc..
the only people with skin in the game are TERFs(not a term of abuse in my book) and the trans community…for the rest of us it’s it’s just argueing about what’s faster a black car or a red car.
Well said. Irrelevant.
Six Sister !s one my other half, and first born twin. Shall egit loss breath.
