She's obviously got her supporters. I don't know how she keeps her broadcasting role after causing Carol Hirschfeld to resign.

Never liked her, and I thought her RNZ+ idea was idiotic (and I work in the industry). Pity she keeps the Broadcasting portfolio. Maybe her RNZ+ idea will be a bit harder to get through now.

Labour MP accused of 'manhandling' press secretary
I doubt they'll resign if the accusation pans out, they'll need to be pushed (see what I did there?)

Promoted way above her abilities and retained far too long after fuckups that should have had her shown the door years ago. I can only presume that Dunedin South is a strategically important electorate and Curran's somehow got a preselection lock on it.

National is often accused of serving their rich buddies
Labour seem preoccupied with serving themselves. |

Jacinda just stepped in a big steaming pile. Good to see Labour’s comms incompetence is one thing we can rely on.

Oh snap, does this mean this Handley guy loses his support for the CTO of NZ position?
That would be sweet icing on the cake.

I'd be a bit perplexed if I was going for CTO of NZ and the minister responsible was contacting me via gmail. Doesn't quite seem right.

The PMs performance overseas this week has been gold for NZ & her popularity here. Will be interesting to see if swing voters are warming to Labour as a party yet though.

One of the most surprising things about this government is the way it so quickly went from hopey changey stardust to the corruption that it was supposed to be a change from.

Yeah, nah. The only thing to see here is spin.

Yeah funneling taxpayer money to party donors for services already being performed by existing staff is totes stardusty

lol. "Funnelling."
Social media being such a static environment, it's obviously corruption to all of a sudden to be paying professionals to get it right.

Augusto were the only marketing agency to donate more than $15k to labour. Heck, they were the only company outside of Unions and primary industries to donate more than $15k. C'mon.. don't you think that's just a little bit fishy? Considering there are literally thousands of other social media marketing agencies out there? |

Potentially. But there's not nearly enough information for accusations of funnelling to stick.
You say there are thousands of such agencies. I'm sceptical this is true, at least in NZ. But if this was a unknown agency with a couple of clients that only got Labour on its books after it made a substantial donation, that would definitely be sketchy. Is this the case? Or is this an agency that Labour has previously worked with that they're continuing to work with? In an attempt to be effective at something they've previously been mocked for failing at?

At the end of the day, it looks bad - and it's yet another mark against 'our most transparent government ever'

Government's surplus grows so substantially it hits 2022 debt target early
Good headline for the Govt.

it is, but the reality is it has little to do with Labour's operations.
Labour were in power for 2/3rds of the period. Nothing Labour has done would have had much of an effect in this period. It's 90% due to outside powers. The economy, both national and international, and really, National setting things up well for them. Labour just need to not fuck it up in the coming years. |

Not entirely familiar with government accounting - but when do things like First year free tertiary education etc start hitting the books?
