Has Little been bought out? Has he become confused? Is he stalling or stumbling? Whatever the case, Little certainly hasn’t got the get up and go like his corrupt and delusional oppositional leader.
Little needs more ascertion, more power, more agression in a positive way.

In reply to Geoff Lye. That may well be the case, Geoff, but she had plenty of time to correct any mis-reporting but didn't. And what of Mike Moore - co-hosting the plush lobbying party?

John Ramaka.

I suggest you actually read Helen’s comment.

She actually said nz needs trade agreements she did not actually say she agrees with the tppa.

Her words were spun by the msm to appear as if she did.

In reply to Mike in Auckland. Yes hence the coded rallying cry against the TPPA about land sales. By merely daring to mention it there is coverage and debate because even the RW press have to repoprt what the opposition leader says. Plus it is a unifying policy for Labour/NZ1st and a populist core belief involving sovereignty. The real question is, why are all you anti Labour posters writing on this blog? Because it is a popular left-wing blog, not a fan page for Ki admirers.

Labour: ?????????????????????????????????????

We are sent various ambiguous messages all the time, they still have staunch free trade and neoliberal policy supporters in their MP ranks, so they would never agree on some of the highly disputed parts of the TPPA, I fear.

Little is walking on a tight rope, and he knows it, if he says too much, he will be attacked and fall down, from either side, and certainly by the media and government.

In reply to donna.

+100 Donna…exactly what I thought… little Labour is naive or complicit with the USA corporates

….and given that these corporates have bribed USA politicians ….could the same have happened in New Zealand?

…nudge nudge wink wink….under the table…money for favours…money for PR services….not easily traced…preferential shares….blind trusts….promises of executive positions once one retires from parlaiment?
