What the Labour Party leak says about the Labour Party
Oh Sweet Jesus…
Leaked Labour audio reveals Barbara Edmondsβ βduck-faced horseβ jab
The audio of an exercise by Labour candidates and supporters in the Wellington region on how to avoid answering difficult questions from the public has been widely leaked.
It was an exercise designed to give them practice in answering the question they want to be asked at public meetings, rather than answering the question that was asked, especially if it was a question that didnβt make sense.

…FFS!
Dear Wellington Labour Party Mandarins.
Hey boys, how you all doing?
Look, I appreciate you are pretty busy being incremental and choking off any populism inside the Labour Party for your Professional Managerial Class dogma, but one thing us long suffering Labour Party supporters are really looking for is basic fucking competency.
Why the Christ did any of you think a seminar on how not to answer questions would look if exposed?
Why did you allow someone to tape this and release it?
How come you allowed an enormous breach of security like that to happen?
Last question, how fucking incompetent are you people?
What does Β the Labour Party leak say about the Labour Party?
It says amateur hour.
Lift your game you clowns.
At least they were not talking about raping her and her kids or stringing her up from a tree it the beehive grounds .Short memory some people have .Willis and co were happy to join in on the assult of Jacinda ,but cry like a baby when she gets one harmless acurate description.
Horse shit people making a mountain out of a mole hill. Winstones just recruited Nash mr pussy shit to his ranks now why aren’t people condemning this Nash not only trashed women he was booted from Labour due to him doing dishonest unethical practices. People need to get real we have a very nasty uncaring, divisive government in power.
I’m not so offended by their comments(as funny as guy willams), but I’m %$#@ing gobsmacked that in an election year craving transformational policy thier weekend’s most important work is a $#!ing duck goose drinking game singalong. What a waste of election finances go TOP!!
Was Winston Peters the main speaker?
We have a government that is a Coalition of Clowns and not to be outdone Labour reveals themselves go be more clowns lead by clowns. However was the leaked tape a result of stupidity or is something more sinister behind it.
The serious bit is getting their D’s and F’s mixed up.
Helen Clarke must be shaking her head in disbelief.
This a failure of discipline , leadership and competence.
I guess they have five months to turn it around before the campaign officially starts.
I don’t feel the all important momentum of a political party determined to defeat the most atrocious right wing government for decades.
Many are preparing themselves for another term of this regime and what that will mean for them and the country.
Labour Party no nothing, say nothing, stand for nothing. The more Hipkins said nothing the more popular they became – to a point. Now the electorate wants to know what they stand for but no policy or direction. No need to wait for the budget they should know what the direction and policys are or are they going to govern like they did in their last term as Government.
I fact the clown show they just went through shows they have not got a clue as to what is right or wrong and the best thing they could do is stop playing at being politicians and fuck off back to hole they came from. Also give back the Labour title to those who stand for workers, beneficiaries and the oppressed in this country.
Hipkins says nothing proving the saying better to say nothing and look silly rather than saying something and proving it.
Luxon proves your theory, he is both silly and stupid the moment he opens his mouth and now he has been proven to be corrupt.
Perhaps Luxon could follow Hipkins lead Trevor.
I’m sure they’ll be much more competent once they’re in government.
Well at least much much less corrupt given the rnz interview this morning with John Campbell and Christopher luxon.
Melbets a real story instead of this care and name calling non-story
Sometimes I wonder if these comms and strategy people are wet behind the ears. Look at our idiot in chief. Schooled to wth an inch and it shows and in my experience the schooling is pretty obvious to people. So the Nact dirty tricks advisors inserted a quisling into the labour ranks. Vigilance guys. Oh and if I hear βRESILIENCEβ again I donβt think the pearl clutching will help.
But what ‘Labour Party”…? What some still think of as the people’s Labour Party is, in fact, an unrepentantly far right and neoliberal and as we all know neoliberalism’s an unhinged, polite mafia, crime wave foisted on us to bully us into acquiescing to the arrogant greed of a select few lobying privateer scumbags, many of who now live in Australia where our banks now are. Go on? Ask chipkins what he thinks of the likelihood of a far right neoliberal cabal of loafing multi-billionaires, multi-millionaires and our four now australian owned banks ; anz, asb,bnz and westpac using logical fallacies to shove us over then to steal our money?
We AO/NZ’ers should be demanding a public, royal commission of inquiry up roger and his slavish traitor ball-cuppers.
Go here and read this, but remember to put the cat outside and lock away blunt objects first.

Whatever insults fly out of the gobholes of labour’s idiotic playground mafia doesn’t mean poo because our governance is neoliberal from Left to Right and what ever we think of them means less than fuck all.
When I heard what Babs said I just clutched my pearls. Oh, how unkind, then I remembered the way the right pilloried Jacinda.
So when did Barbara mention Willis by name? I thought she was talking about ducks.
FGS it’s election year! Clearly Barbara Edmonds has a brain to match her wayward mouth. Is she so naive as to not know there is a ‘spook’ in every room, just waiting for a gaffe like this and run off to our usually lackluster media[?] or the opposition. She needs more than a huge kick in the pants and needs to eat heaps of humble pie, apologise profusely, and NEVER do it again. Yes, her comment is fair but so out of place. Let Willis be the author of her own demise – it’s only a matter of timing now! Wonder what the spook got paid for this! Nasty piece of works!
to be fair she has apologised, but we live in a society where apologies are either not accepted or never go far enough
What a great description of the disgusting person .Much kinder than she should have been
Did you get the training as well? I have already seen an article on Stuff about this and the politest way to describe it is as a series of own goals by the Labour party when they should be establishing credibility and providing constructive ideas instead. I can live with their desire to not release their policies too early although I get the impression that their main message is to vote for them because they are not as bad as the current government, not a vote winner in my opinion.
Simple. Don’t vote for them. Grit your teeth for another 3 years and give the left time to reflect on how bloody awful they are. Look in the mirror folks, you might see a duck faced horse looking back at you.
That requires both Self and Situational Awareness for it to work. Two things sadly lacking with our politicians.
But I too am lost for reasons to vote other than to keep the other set of clowns out.
OMG this is truly pathetic stuff. What we all want to know is which of the manymany appalling things that this government has done to people and the country they are going to back track on, no ums no aahs, just give us the list.
So the “Whacky Greens, the loopy left and Winston’s description of the Te Pati Maori leader of having scribbles on his face doesn’t make the mainstream media but this does. Oh for fuck sake, lighten up buttercups, the right have no moral high ground and they know it, the Karens will try to blow this out of proportion but it will be done and dusted in a weeks time, if that.
Meanwhile National fudges the numbers on waiting lists. Now that’s a story worth telling. Simple Simeon can’t keep blaming for corruption of his own doing…

I note the right wing NZ isn’t running the story but they are the duck face story. Tells us all we need to know about right wing media dirty politics heading into the election.
