About the only thing Labour actually delivered last time round was eye-watering debt for the nation and high inflation. If you want more of that then by all means vote Labour.
Given his propensity to shoot from the lip, Willie is well practised in retractions and back tracks.
Pick a standard, Chris: you can’t rail against Trump’s board for including Putin while comfortably ignoring the UN’s roster of human-rights violators. Moral clarity isn’t selective. It’s universal – or it’s just politics masquerading as principle.
Hipkins had his shot as PM and it was a dud. Kiwis saw through the spin then, and they’ll do it again in 2026. Save your breath, Chris. No one’s buying.
Every day the legacy media buries its head, it’s another kick in the guts for those MUMA workers suffering in silence. They’ve abrogated their duty to hold power to account, preferring cosy chats with the powerful over gritty truth-telling.
This is not just a cover-up: it is weapons-grade, with complicit players rewriting history to protect a powerful couple.
Willie Jackson loves to bang on about workers' rights and union power until it threatens to expose his wife's alleged bullying at MUMA. Then he turns into a trespass-issuing tyrant, banning union reps from the marae like some feudal lord protecting his castle.
There have been a few clangers recently. Some are hypocritical, some are laced with irony, some have both and some are straight out misleading.
Willie Jackson has spent his entire career telling Māori to stand tall, to fight the system and to speak truth to power. Right now he’s the one wielding power to silence victims and bust unions...and lawyer up for anyone who dares speak out.
Matt McCarten drops some astonishing bombs about a senior MP who has run a cover up to protect his missus. McCarten doesn’t hold back and torches friendships of 40 years because “it is the right thing to do”.
We have one politician going overseas to meet with leaders of other countries to drum up business and cement long lasting international relationships, while we have another not thinking of trade or productivity, but rather which ‘rich pricks’ his party can fleece next.
If the polls tighten further, don’t be surprised if the grand coalition talk turns into reality. New Zealand politics just got a whole lot more cynical.
Labour is out of puff, out of ideas and out of touch. The clock is ticking, Chippy. Time to get off the couch or get ready for another term in the wilderness.
