Good old Hone Carter is now being held up as a model MP for his calling the contract being offered to the Chorus people a crock. I hope all National Ministers follow his lead. And for that matter the backbenchers too.
Thanks to the NDU for releasing the material to make it clear that Wayne Mapp acting for Wilkinson misled the House today.
So she’s chicken, he’s fibbing and only Hone looks good over there… again.
The NDU reports that Kate Wilkinson has pulled out of a meeting with them because the EPMU took industrial action on Monday. Weird.
She said “the risks were too great for her to come” and that she can’t meet with any union.
So – what is the story – she doesn’t know what day of the week it is or she can’t tell the difference between the NDU and the EPMU or she is just plain chicken.
Just waiting for Key to announce that the government is not meeting with any employers this week just to be even handed – but not holding my breath.
