I saw Paul Henry on the subject this morning with Andrew Little and another bloke. If anyone saw it, I’m pretty sure you will agree with my observation that Mr Little saw no real problem with the change and his lack of fight, suggested he was opposing it for no other reason than he should .. as both Leader of the Union and Party. Anyone else see it?

Seriously? You really have no idea do you? Why do you think the general public loathes politicians so much?

Notice this about the previous Labour legislation which bought in meal breaks.
“She and the National Party voted for the legislation at the first reading and, indeed, I spoke on it in the first reading and said it should go to a select committee, because it raised important issues that needed to be looked at. We voted against the legislation in the Committee stage because there were some concerns about flexibility, but, in the overall mix, we voted for it at the third reading.”

So in opposition they voted for it , then against it and then ( finally) for.
Now they are the government they are back to being against it.

Come on Trev… play the ball not the man. You don’t want to stoop to WhaleOil’s level, and this comes close.

I’m not entering into moderating debates Sean. We might have a bit of a review over the next recess and invite comments then. Trevor
