Crazy old Winnie is on arguing that building a prison will give prisoners the skills to…build prisons?

Jack argues we need 3 Mt Eden prisons to lock up all the 3000 prisoners he intends to build yet Winston can’t answer the question.

Winnie attacks Jack for asking him questions he doesn’t know the answer to.

???

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO BUILD A NEW 3000 PRISON!

He can’t answer that because he doesn’t have the answer!!!

He berates Jack but refuses to answer any question about his own policy!

Jack catches Winnie out in the Cabinet Papers that showed Winston knew about the He Puapua report!!!!!!!

Jack points out that as the Deputy PM, how could he not have chased this up now we know he knew!

Winston is now insulting Jack.

All Winston has is piss and vinegar.

Jack notes he was raging against the rich and is now taking $900 000 from those rich!

He calls Jack a ‘Dirt Merchant’.

FFS.

Winston tries to hide his double standards over vaccine mandates…

…he claims that this wasn’t true and someone else posted that.

What???

Jack challenges Winston on his candidates anti-Māori rhetoric.

Here is the quote from the NZ First Candidateā€¦

ā€œCry if you want to, we donā€™t care. We are the party with the cultural mandate and the courage to cut out your disease and bury you permanently.ā€

NZ First Rangitata candidate Rob Ballantyn

Winston claims it was about Willie Jackson, Jack points out that’s a lie!

Winston is a one trick pony show without a pony or trick.

This old Machiavellian Fox is about to decide the NZ Election.

He ends the interview by threatening Jack with his job!!!

Jesus wept.

  8. “What the hell has happened to this country?”

    This country has been under systematic, well-funded right-wing attack since the Labour-led government produced the best Covid response in the Western world. That response did one unforgiveable thing: for a brief period of time it elevated the public good to the highest priority, more important than private profit. It showed the power of state to intervene for the benefit of the many. The right knew perfectly well that this sort of upending of the ‘proper’ order of things was a dangerous contagion that had to be ripped out and reversed. And they seem likely to succeed unless every person from the centre and left gets out to vote against National, ACT and the opportunist Peters.

    • WE have been under attack since 1984 from Right Wing Labour and National Governments unfortunately most people do not realise.

  9. No. I think Jack Tame used the wrong tactics. The policies that NZ 1st advocates will always depend on whether a government can afford them, and that will depend to some extent on other what things other members of a coalition wish to spend money on. It normally would be a matter of priorities. Certainly ask him about NZ 1st’s wish list, and perhaps ask why he thinks the items on it are desirable, but I think it may also have been useful to ask what policies of his other coalition partners he would put the kybosh on, and why. I don’t think the mess that we had was good interviewing: both parties seemed to get more and more antagonistic towards each otheras the interview progressed, and I don’t think that was all Winston’s fault.

  10. I do not wish it on him but is Winston showing the first signs of dementia?
    Luxon surely, now, must think twice about going into coalition with Winston. If he does chaos is imminent.
    A sad day for for politics and a ‘would-be-and-once-was politician’.

  11. Winston is such a moron, he goes in as Jack says with bluster and bulldust. Shame they will make it I think.

  12. At least this time, Winston remembered Jack’s name, and didn’t call him James or Jacob or something.
    And whatever you think of Winston, he didn’t do too badly for a 78 year old, with many others his age already living in a rest home. I don’t know if Jack got through all his questions, but one important one would have been, under what circumstances would Winston agree to allowing foreign speculators back into the NZ property market?
    I wonder what Luxon, who was bound to have tuned in, will be thinking about the guy he may have to put up with for 3 years. His immediate thought may have been, that James Shaw who was on next, sounded very clear headed and precise by comparison, and Luxon maybe thinking that James Shaw is looking more handsome every day, so handsome that he wouldn’t look out of place wearing blue.
    And since it would be rude for James to not accept someones call, then maybe come Oct 14, Luxon will consider giving James a courtesy phone call, just to catch up, and shoot the breeze, and who knows what else might be in the conversation.
    I would much rather deal with James Shaw, and make him environment minister, than have to go to the beehive everyday and put up with the constant migraine of Winston and Seymour! In running an airline parlance, those two would be like a plane crash, involving a cargo or uranium and a cargo of bioweapons. And from James Shaw’s point of view, if ever there was a time for the Greens to consider working closer with National, then keeping ACT and NZFirst from sabotaging the current climate change initiates, would be that time.
    Come Oct 14, politics makes strange bed fellows, and many a dead rat could get swallowed.
    But if Luxon does have to deal with Winston, then the lesson learnt from the past, is that he must put all the initiatives he wants to do, into the coalition agreement at the very start. Otherwise Winston will go back to his habit of shooting down new legislation not covered by the coalition agreement, at the eleventh hour, like he’s done previously. Which just wastes the time and effort getting the new initiatives prepared, up to that point.

  13. Was wondering if Tame was ready for a swinging right hook from Winston. Tame would’ve had to snap his head back to avoid it – like a Mitchell Starc bouncer that comes back into you off the wicket. An opportunity missed for epic television. And for Winston, that’s probably a 3% lift in the polls he’s just missed out on by not losing his rag totally – such is the simmering, barely-suppressed violence in our political culture now.

  14. I don’t like Winston but thought Jack was an arrogant ass. A disgraceful performance from a totally biased interviewer. I would have liked to hear Peter’s answers to questions but Tame wouldn’t let him

    • The issue is not that Winston couldnt answer the questions but that he wasnt allowed to answer the questions. Jack Tame is reprehensible and nothing more than a paid political actor. Search out his interview of Waititi for TMP. Spot the difference? And its all made by NZ on Air, nice to see my tax dollars propping up the progressive campaign.

      Winnie wasnt at his best and deserves a medal for not lashing out more than he did. Winnie is slowing down, that much is obvious but he’s still ahead intellectually of most people in this game. Hardly Joe Biden. I understood exactly what he was saying about Prisons, Aged Care and He PuaPua and its all quite logical and doable. I had already read some of the detail so know what he was trying to put across but he wasnt allowed to put it across.

      And then the lame ass shit about Peters not stopping He PuaPua in Sept 2020, the moment Jack said it I knew what an obviously impractical slur it was. Jack came loaded for bear and the name of the game was “Take Winston out”. There are 6% votes going to Winston and if we destroy him, (those of the blue or red persuasion will benefit). Seeing as quite a few ‘old Labour’ are voting NZF (for various reasons) Labour thinks the votes will come back to them as we all know, old lefties wont vote blue.

      It will be interesting to see if that’s how it works out. If Winnie plummets, will the votes go left or right? I dislike ACT but if we are playing this dirty of a game, that’s where my vote will go.

      • Give me a fā€™ing break. How about renaming yourself Talltale. You are living in denial, Winston was at his bestā€¦.some time ago. Heā€™s embarrassing now

  15. The nats and act eh! if act where a stage act it would be like a Carry on movie, however, both are taking pages out of Winston!s book belligerence and bellicose, as was their show on Saturday, on tv three. All three segments, opposition all bullied and cajoled, over spoke to the point of basic, if we rule this will be our dominating standard and as for that square head Mitchell, if he does become the minister of police, we will be back to the eighties with more serious street disruption that Aotearoa/New Zealand has ever seen since the fifties.

  16. NZ Reporter’s and Interviewer’s are crap childish little moron’s who do not understand the big picture, no wonder this cuntry is in the shit.

  17. Unfortunately Jack missed some important questions.

    Why is NZ First silent on immigration this election? Particularly with it being at 100,000 net record numbers? Why is it not campaigning on keeping the foreign buyer ban in place and making it a bottom line with any coalition deal?

    These were once key areas for NZ First, yet there is nothing in the NZ First 2023 policies about them. Why?

    The fact donations to NZ First from the big end of town are ramping up including from property developers seems quite telling.

    The big end of town would want the high level of easy access to low wage immigration to continue unquestioned. The property developers in particular would want the changes to the foreign buyer ban.

    Hence NZ First appears to be have purposely pivoted its efforts away from immigration and foreign buyers and towards more donor friendly areas like anti co governance and vaccine mandates.

  22. If Winston start’s his anti-Immigration Stance Stance National & ACT will not want to have anything to do with him, as their policies are all about bringing in Immigrants and Foreign Capital and basically rat-f**king the average New Zealander. A NACT First Coalition will be an interesting proposition.

  23. Why won’t Winston go on Mike Hosking show?
    Oh two bullies going toe to toe doesn’t make for good radio.

  24. Are we sure that actually was an interview and not a seance to summon up the
    spirit-sprite-spite~~~~~ of Muldoom?
