Quote of the article from Hipkins:

"We've had a series of governments now who have encouraged people to be aspirational for New Zealand and have promised things that have been completely unrealistic. I don't think we can afford to do that anymore. I think people will lose faith in a whole democratic system if we see politicians continuing to do that, I'm not going to fall into that trap."

Looks like he’s highly critical of Jacinda’s aspirational leadership and acknowledging it was hugely divisive, a complete failure and harmful to democracy.

Don't worry.... Labour, TPM and the Greens will soon tax away any aspirational thoughts anyone has.

He’s not reading the room well here. Didn’t gain any traction and won’t

Just paid 20 bucks to Opportunity Party so I guess officially align with them even though I've voted for them since 2020 (first time I've spent any money on political parties).

Hope the new leader does a good job continuing to get the stink of Gareth Morgan off the party all these years later, his anti-cat stance really screwed things over for them, I still have mates bringing that up when the topic of who I vote for comes up (a case of bad publicity not being good publicity ).
She seems like a good sort even though I missed out on the Welly open forum she had a week or two back.

Yay politics.

I agree with the thrust that we’re all equal and the local iwi can piss off with anything to do with how I deal with my shit, but I don’t agree with a direct divisive assault on the treaty as we saw this term

Do what Jacinda did. Make a plan behind the scenes and quietly make small non offensive incremental policy changes.

Wiz I have to say that I disagree with a lot of what you post but this one I 100% agree with - are you coming over to the "dark" side now??
