Tim Groser may not speak like the stable boys’ scrubber but I don;t think it was necessarily helpful for Sue Moroney to prove yet again that she is a nasty piece of work.
Tim Groser in his ridiculous “plum in mouth” voice just said “rinky dinky” and “turbo charged” in the same speech.#nzqt

Labour’s Associate Finance spokesman has declared war on the employers of New Zealand.
In what is a return to Labour’s nasty vindictive roots, Shane Jones says Labour will never have a constructive relationship with Business New Zealand, the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, or any of the other large employers calling on Labour to reverse their plans for economic sabotage masquerading as power policy.
Because they disagree with Labour – they’re now the enemy. Read more »
The Labour caucus went to ground yesterday over the Aaron Gilmore “Dickhead Debacle” having been hushed up by Robertson’s Press Team in the Labour Leader’s office.
Instead it was Young Labour members who went off message resorting to homophobic and racist slurs towards National List Candidate, Claudette Hauiti, on Twitter.
Via the Tipline:
Does Phil Twyford REALLY think that John Key is a thief? It’s a rather odd thing for a Labour MP to be accusing, don’t you think?
Carol Beaumont will return to Parliament after Charles Chauvel jacked in a life sucking on the public teat in New Zealand for a life sucking on the public teat at the UN. Carol is a key member of the Nasty Party faction in Labour, and like others in the faction known for her inability to win votes.
At the last election there were only three Labour List MPs who managed to increase their opponents margin, Carol Beaumont, Sue Moroney and Steve Chadwick. Read more »
My mate Brian Edwards reckons David Shearer is just reading the script others have written for him – badly.
He’s right.
The real David Shearer once promised New Zealanders that he wouldn’t be following Trevor’s script.
His journey towards the dark side is now complete. Read more »
Yesterday I blogged about Clare Curran’s nasty little trick regarding hampers for the redundant workers at Hillside.
She moaned about it on Twitter suggest it wasn’t as it seemed.
But a quote from Curran’s Facebook page leaves no doubt on who organised and presented the hampers.
“Today marks the end of 130 years Engineering at Hillside Workshops. I hope that the hamper I gave to each worker yesterday will do a little to brighten their Christmas at this tough and uncertain time. Please stop work today at 11am to mark the passing of 130 years Engineering at Hillside, even if you can’t make it down there.”
Each but one, the one worker made redundant who wasn’t part of the union and who is a National party member ..no, that one got nothing except abuse for being a “scabber”.
The Labour party really knows how to do nasty. Check out what Clare Curran and her union pals have been up to in Dunedin.
Labour continue to be the Nasty Party.
Trevor Mallard is at it again…now claiming he won when it was him who had to express regret for his ill advised comments.
Rob Hosking writes at NBR about Labour’s tendency to see conspiracy everywhere and victimise civil servants and governments who don’t present things their way. He summarises:
The problem of Labour habitually doing this sort of thing has a number of aspects.
One is, of course, the principled one that New Zealand does have, by and large, a reasonably neutral public service and tarnishing that is highly damaging to the body politic.
It is also very counter-productive for Labour. It sends several messages, none of them good ones.
One is it allows National and its sympathisers to reiterate the claim that “Labour is the Nasty Party”.
Second, it sends a the kind of message the US Republicans have been sending over recent years: that the party has retreated into its own world and that anything which happens which does not fit their own world view must be motivated by malign forces.
Strobing the message “we’re a bunch of embittered and angry losers” is not a great way to get people to vote for you.
Just ask the US Republican Party.
Readers of this blog already know that Labour is the Nasty party.
