PM under attack by MSM for ….. everything

Its a press secs nightmare. Making sure that your boss doesn't look or sound like a dick. But its very evident that MSM is looking for any small thing they can use to smash the PM with. People are sick of this petty personality based attacks. MSM need to concentrate on picking on policies instead of people. A little bit harder to do.. but its their job. Not biased, malice laden bu****it like this.

Rift as deep as Taupo in Labour party

So looks like the Maori caucus is paddling a different Waka over how close they should get to the reef that is Te Pati Maori. Chippy says "Taiho" Maori MPs say "Haere mai". Shows Chippy does not have the respect or control of his Maori caucus. Might be time for a wee karakia. .....

She is gonna be one hell of an election

Twenty four years ago we made a prediction that the Maori Party would go with the National Party – we bet a bottle of Hill of Grace 1996 on it. The wine I won has undoubtedly aged better than…
