Mangrove Misses the Mark

Mangrove should really think about a career outside of parliament and Busted Blonde and Cactus Kate along with Madame Pammy have possibly found  a career he if no-one else in parliament is singularly qualified for.

Hysterical posturing by Judith Collins when she was in Opposition on the issue of child support has come back to haunt the National Government, says Labour Revenue spokesperson Stuart Nash.

Stuart Nash said the rate of child support debt was now increasing at double the rate it was under Labour.

“In 2005 Judith Collins attacked Labour, claiming that failure to pay child support was tantamount to ‘child neglect’, and demanding that people who owed money should not be able to travel overseas, but now the boot is on the other foot,” Stuart Nash said.

“Since National came to office, the level of debt has escalated at about $250 million a year, more than twice the rate under Labour.

“To be fair, the reality that most of the current debt of $1.8 billion is penalty debt reflects an exponential rate of increase, but Judith Collins exploited ‘child neglect’ for political motives, and now her government is presiding over a deteriorating situation.”

He may as well be a male prostitute, for a start he is well used to rooting and secondly he is so tits at being MP he will never get elected in Napier and the longer he spends having long dinners with Phil Goff the shorter his career prospects become. (Yes, mangrove, I know where you had dinner last night….were you being recruited as a new member of the Backbone Club?)

Now back to his poor performance as an MP. He has attacked Judith Collins for not delivering on something she said in 2005. It seems to have escaped the rooter that Judith Collins is no longer responsible for that portfolio, and the things she is responsible for she has and is delivering upon.

“It has no new plan or strategy. Labour is committed to developing a new scheme that protects children, that is fair to parents, and that is practical to implement.”

If he wants to hit up National Ministers who aren’t delivering on protecting children, then perhaps he should have a crack at “Pedobear” Power who refuses to entertain even thinking about a law to name and shame pedophiles. It is a travesty that National continues to entertain having a minister of justice who is pedo-friendly.
