Looks like Labour has been shown the door quite brutally in Ham West.

It's like this story:
100-year-old trees that are home to little owls face chop for new housing There'd be cries about the end of democracy if co-governance was involved. But because it's a commercial development the framing is completely different.

She's had her pluses and minuses. My impression of her is that of a great figurehead when we needed a figurehead, and a bad Prime Minister when we needed a Prime Minister. She's been more smile and wave than John Key ever was.

Obviously I wish her politics could have been more progressive. In saying that, politics aside we couldn't have had a better leader throughout the pandemic. I'm grateful that some of my family didn't have to roll the covid dice 2020. As a leader she was the envy of a lot of countries. Made people proud to be a New Zealander again.
Even in her leaving she brings the aroha. Instead of staying in there until burnout she's shown it's okay to put you and your family first when you've had enough. GG aunty Edit: comment of the day - "Landlords and everyone's crazy uncle gonna be over the moon at this"

Its one of those stupid questions to ask 1 - are you going to stay at your job / are you going to leave. 99% of people will probably not be telling people they are going to leave a job until they are ready to leave a job. 2 - Are you pregnant. Again, they are either ready to tell you or they are not. Basically if they are about to leave or a pregnant, they have to lie to you until they are ready |

During the GFC and Earthquakes, we needed some strong fiscally based leadership. During White Island, the Mosque attack and Pandemic, we needed something more empathetic. Interesting bit in the CNN article indicating that she was going to skip the Waitangi BBQ due to security concerns. Seems there may have been a clear and present danger, which may have convinced her (in light of the recent attacks on her office) that it wasn't worth it. There's a lot of vitriol out there. I have no strong feelings either way - as far as I could see, we travelled through uncharted waters with the pandemic, and she did the sensible bit and listened to the scientists not the economists. There were heaps of wrong ways to do it - and I don't think we were in that camp. It hasn't been easy, will take time to recover from, and perhaps that will require a different skill set to pull off - and pretty sure not from Labour. That's just how the sausage is made. |

Article in stuff talks about the increase in threats against her made.
Going from a 20 in 2019 to 50 in 2021. And I wouldn't be surprised if they were even higher in 2022. |

If Hipkins is chosen to replace Ardern, "Don't Vote Chris" is going to be a great slogan for the alt-vote.

Yes, the northland “sex workers” lockdown and the way he abandoned a kiwi journalist in Afghanistan and then leaked against her to the media are certainly endearmentifying.

Toby Manhire had a good observation on the Gone By Lunchtime podcast re: Jacinda's time as PM; he said something like "she's delivered almost nothing that she promised, and has had to do a lot of things that she never expected". Which is a fair call.
One of the things that bugs me is that her abrupt "I'm exhausted, this is too much" departure kinda kicks in the nuts the whole uplifting gender-equality narrative that it's possible for a (relatively) young mother to be a political leader. Jacinda Ardern herself just told the world that it's too hard. Even with all the support in the world, it was too much. |

It's kind of labours modus operandi though isn't it - and especially so this administration and prime minister.
Same old story, swinging too far for ideals at the expense of pragmatism and realism. Treat the two the same at your own peril (or the countries) Last edited by _indigo1 : 23rd January 2023 at 13:40. |

I still think something spooked her (no pun intended. Well maybe) and the DPS are doing what DPS does.

Yes Labour failed on some big ticket projects that they campaigned on. But all the smaller policy they got through over the years does add up. Policy that we wouldn't have seen under National. https://www.labour.org.nz/our-record

She’s had to deal with something no other leader has - people who’ve gone insane from loneliness and the internet. It sounds like her threats have been off the charts.

I wonder if Hipkins is going to bind himself to promises the way Ardern did? Right now GCT is back on the table, at least in theory.
But I doubt it, I can't see the electorate putting up with any new taxes.

Chris Trotter is a bit more cynical on Jacinda's motivation; to paraphrase, she has her eye on the next step in Helen Clark's career path formula (UN) and being the leader on whose watch "co-governance" hit the fan was going to impede her progress – either by making her massively unpopular with the electorate or by painting her as insufficiently committed to "decolonisation".

I'm feeling mixed about the TVNZ/RNZ merger being dropped.
On one hand TVNZ becoming a responsible broadcaster like RNZ (i.e. higher advertising standards) seemed like a great boon for the country. On the other hand, the risk that RNZ might become more like TVNZ (advertising) was scary.
