In reply to Kevin Brown. Well observed. A pity more people commenting here don't see the blinding obvious. Jack Tame is a younger nastier version of Hoskins.

In reply to Brent Bartle. Its the journalist job to keep the subject on task and to answer the question being asked. I bet if Jacinda was floundering her answers like Muller was, you'd have a different point of view. BTW, hows Grandma?

A Muller transNational Party will say climate change is an issue, but not a very big one and do just enough to be sure it can’t be accused of doing nothing.

It’s fortunate I did not hear the Muller interview.
But there was one statement of his just recently that annoyed me alot. Now I don’t know what it is about National MPs but they all seem to want to beat a Mantra Drum to the point of absolute dreariness(aka mind numbing)of wanting to ‘fix’ the economy.
Looking at the past 9 years there was a National government I am certain the ONLY ‘fixing’ National did was ‘fixing’ the economy alright but in favour of the rich and those who donated heavily to the NZ National Party. So National ‘fixed’ the economy but not for the poor.
And so to me National claiming to want to ‘fix’ the economy reeks of dirty deals and riding rough-shod over the low income workers who are the taxpayers and the very people National MPs in the past have disparaged and ridiculed.
Lets be assured when it comes to National and their ‘mantra’ of claiming to fix what a previous government left behind that they will always ridicule anyone and everyone who doesn’t vote for National. And so lets include in Todd Muller’s OCD claim of ‘fixing the economy’ that he will have to admit the previous National government did a botch up of the ‘fixing the economy’ in the 9 years there was a National government.
But here is my hope at the next election and that is National consign to the history books the OCD need to blame everyone else but the faces staring back at them in the mirror.
They need to acknowledge they are not perfect. But for their “I am more holier than thou’ attitude shows an arrogance that will result in no-one wanting to vote for them.

“I voted National once 30 years ago”

Don’t fall off the wagon now. We still need your vote!

In reply to Verity Verdant. I was shocked when Adams said that she has had a rest this past year and now won't be resigning. Have we Taxpayers being paying her to have a rest. If she wanted to have rest she should have been on the Job Seekers Benefit. The Nats have no decency.

Fun for Hooton. He went to the car yard and left with what he thought was a goer. It struggled on the way home up a couple of little rises. He arrives home and checks to find it’s not the big powerful farmer type V8 Commodore he thought it was, it’s only 850cc with 3 cylinders. He does more checks and finds one cylinder isn’t even working. Bugger!

Half way through i swear i saw him glancing sideways for the ‘exit’ doors …..the tongue was stuck on the back of the throat and the brain was stuck in neutral. He was poorly researched simply because you can’t research nothing …zero minus zero equals zero.
There was no saving this interview and by anyone’s standards this was about as soft as it gets…
It was interesting to note that when Laila Harre starting listing National’s team of proven non- performers, Kaye , Woodhouse , Brownlee etc and how they had achieved nothing in 9 long years, both Ben Thomas and Jack Tame ganged up on her and spoke over the top of her to quickly shut her down.
Obviously only their opinions count !!

Wow I must have watched a different interview than people commenting on here.

Jack Tane came across as a liar and massively biased towards Natz.

“Any one here working for Muller’. Sounds an honest and professional opening line/question. And he should have known the Hooten link in all this. So he LIED or obfuscated whilst making out he was being the honest broker. Absolute crook or ignorant. Neither looks good.
He’s yet another presstitute who probably is the CIA’s pick to control NZ media, ala Guyon Espiner.
NO change then, NZ media utterly and totally devoid of professional credibility and Tane I’m afraid for my money is one of the worst still working in the spot light.

Just another Disaster that Jacinda has to protect us from.
