Phil Twyford is the only one really pushing on this and Labour has lost a huge opportunity by instead chasing every hint of a scandal with National Ministers and a whole heap of issues it is going to get caned for or people don't care about and then not pushing them hard enough... Quite poor really... Yip it should have been a political bonanza for Labour but it seems all the spin talent left with Helen Clark…

Read the Auckland Governance Report - as if firmly recommends CCO’s for more than what is being proposed Are the govt are damned if they do and damned if they don’t?

Are the govt are damned if they do and damned if they don’t?

The common trait with fascism and the comments is the fragility of democratic institutions when confronted by internal anti democratic force. Few fascists ever seized power, most were democratically elected then began to dismantle the state from within. Sound familiar? Another common trait was that the beneficiaries of the fascists were those who already had the money, Mussolini went through with privatisation of most major public concerns for their benefit. I dont accuse Hide of being a fascist who attempts to seize power, I see him more as a person who has no mandate and is abusing his role for the benefit of the few. You can dismissively say Sheesh, in case you are not aware history has a habit of repeating itself on those who dont learn from it. Get reading.
