    Why do people dislike him so much?

    They left in his marriage split that got immediate disapproval because the ex wife wasn't included (from commenters here and elsewhere). Shit, marriages split up often. It was immediately assumed it was Shanes fault. We don't know but it was one wart for all to see.Also we need to see him now for the point of the piece. I don't think he was shown in a saintly manner, but I do think it showed he wasn't that polished. Yes, 3rd degree it wasn't. I just wish both Cunliffe and Robertson would have been proud to show their differences .
    Sacha, I think this is all good for our democracy, which has been trampled on lately by our current mob. Diversity in candidates and diversity in New Zealanders. I'm glad it's being discussed but I don't know of anyone who is perfect. Shane Jones certainly isn't in my book but I don't hate him.He is a person from Kaitaia no matter where he has ended up and from my experiences lately with people from Kaitaia, I am starting to understand his manners. People in isolated areas can be pretty conservative (say 1950's). Hopefully our interwebs can change all that. Hopefully Labour can help. The discussions all help.

    Don’t mean that it’s only personalities.But Jones is now more recognisable than Robertson because he chose to go on the telly, primetime, show his warts. I noticed too before that he showed up to a Union meeting and got to put his face out there. It then got primetime news coverage before any of them, and now ,look at the polls. Also the stronger influences amongst the Unions may be swaying others. Plus the Cunliffe camp enablers might need Robertson at the back because he could get through the race via 2nd preference. Less support now for Robertson can only help Cunliffe. I may be the only one but I think Tim Watkin at Pundit got it right when he said that primetime tv should have been good for all 3 candidates but only one accepted. That one personality now goes up in the polls.

    Or maybe I'm stupid and don't know what I'm talking about. :)

    One mans trash will always be somebody else's treasure. This is a competition to win. It's not at all costs but personalities will play their part and enablers/supporters will all have personalities too surely?

    So , our GCSB may not have had intent, but it would seem the Police have every intent of checking on Arthur Allan Thomas again.
