OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Damian Christie,
Speaks volumes.
We were up at Coopers Beach getting a warrant. The Mechanic issuing was complaining about " DPB bludgers across the road." The other half responded."Do you know if they have cars? he replied Yes. He then said, "Surely you'd be getting work off them then? He shut up after that.

OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Pete Sime,
Yep, smiley wave and a soundbite. If a response isn't immediate, the public don't hear it. I just often hear about "how hard it will be to go up against Key" Bah humbug, just do the homework and Key crumbles. Then you get on the 6 o'clock bulletin. Work the Media intelligently, they are not changing. Go around it.

Labour’s next leader will also be competing for attention against Winston and an invigorated Greens.
It doesn't have to be against, it could be alongside with respecting differences. We are all in this together type thing.

I'd love to see much more community engagement. Taking it to the streets. Back to the basics. Lianne Dalziel proved this works.

They could always go for the co-leader approach. Politics needs less lamppost pissing in my opinion /likely to never happen/.
Nature of the game I guess. But yes Labour must unify and both seem a fantastic combination and together has to get everyone in caucus at 100%. should work.

Maybe so, but for many people forums or emails is all they get and it would be enough.
My observation through practice was they were the best at getting a response when I queried information as I said " whenever I had queries..." I like to try all the parties out ;) -
Key isn't great in the House, he is as good as George Bush ever was , I'll give him that.

OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus, in reply to Damian Christie,
First impressions matter in politics and Shearer has proved he is definitely fresh. Much weight is given to the bombastic style our political analysts like so much on the telly. Shearer may be an excellent negotiator but in a world of sound bites, that is not helpful. Cunliffe shows his ability there. We know he is good with Finance. I really like Shearer and admire his achievements because I have read some of them and he does impress, however just a small sample mentioned by the press is all most people know and he gets the prize for the cuddly story there. That’s why I want both but come what tomorrow it will be one and then he better get his dancing shoes on because he will need to get busy to unify the caucus.If either were against each other in an Election 3 weeks ago, who would have won?
