It’s precisely the problem that the “left” are not willing to challenge the status quo, because they don’t want to jeopardise their own chances at grabbing the conch, and thus end up siding with those in power. Metiria’s admission was bold, and set a challenge to the neoliberal establishment’s chipping away at the social security net – you’re not supposed to do that, you’re supposed to smile, nod, and go quietly. We need not less of what Metiria did, but much more of it. The risk is that the downtrodden might become roused – Metiria’s admission was an act of disobedience, and the reactionaries have set the pitbulls on her for it.

In reply to Jpo73. 75% of NZers who watched and then voted on Newshub, not 75% of all NZers, I didn't watch or vote on Newshub and I don't think she was wrong, I think Meteria is brave and honest and if she doesn't speak for you, don't vote for her, but she speaks well and true for me and I will be voting for her. That is democracy and you should stop making her the target of YOUR frustration, take your own advice. Voting Green supports Labour, attacking them (like you are doing) hurts Labour. Jeez, YOU are aiming at the wrong target!

I am amused by those who accuse me of being a troll simply because I have an opposing view. She has gone. Good. Both Labour and the Greens can now focus.

I agree, although I was pleasantly surprised to read this Gower article about Bill English

In reply to Michelle. Meh. Don't mind Dave. Vennesa's personal wealth is way above Daves. Or Dave would have to be the bitchiest police academy drop out in the world.

In reply to Danyl Strype.

Danyl, beneath the Pollyanna “Leader of the party? Who? Little ole me?” veneer, Jacinda Ardern is only interested in being PM.

Principle doesn’t enter into her career path.

The Blairism is palpable.

Heard Miteria being “interviewd” on National Radio this morning, it was a disgusting attack by the “interviewer” no sembulence of impartiality or even letting her getting her point across just constant attack. Would like Bill English to be subject to the same grilling over his double dipping and getting $900 a week that he was not moraly entitled to.
