Where has the official Waitangi Day commemoration ever been held other that at Waitangi? Labour has kept this policy pretty quiet. Fancy Helen Clark slipping under the radar on something as newsworthy as this.<br /><br /><br /><i>"Once again, it seems the very best ACT can do is advocate for Labour party policies!"</i><br /><br />ACT is doing Labour a service if Labour cannot get recognition for their own policies.

The left talk of the signing of TPPA as being the end of debate. The reality is that the signing represented the point from which debate was able to begin. We are debatinig now aren't we? Well what is your problem Jacinda? Did you expect debate to take place before a moot existed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-85474359787364047322016-02-07T22:27:25.640+13:002016-02-07T22:27:25.640+13:00why not rotate the host iwi and location?

Once again, it seems the very best ACT can do is advocate for Labour party policies! <br /><br /><br /><i>I hand on heart believe in free trade, and so does my party. </i><br /><br />Well yeah, Helen Clark's Labour party did: they created both the China FTA and the TPPA. But the LIttle/Adern Labour party have <b>never</b> been about free trade, and made that very clear over the last week.

Her CV reads from school to University, then jobs with various Socialist organisations until being parachuted into a List Seat in Parliament for Labour. Her performance in Parliament is second rate and it is obvious that she doesn't really know what actually goes on in the real world. I for one will read David Seymour's comments with interest but will treat Adern's comments with the contempt that they deserve and disregard them.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335408073682334122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-55199915827702476132016-02-07T20:54:45.100+13:002016-02-07T20:54:45.100+13:00Ardern also said,last paragraph:
