    It has got to caucus level because it's politically a very very bad look for the party - and that reflects badly on the whole party .. it only got to that level because of the party stuff ups ... and the complainants making it public ..

    Now, I agree, the party has stuffed up - and heads needed to roll ... within the party structure. If the party had handled it properly - as they should have - this would never have reached the caucus ..
    Yes I know the difference and you have totally made my point. It is another example of mismanagement that has landed them in this unnecessary mess.

    A little while back someone asked if you would let this lot run your business. Hell no!!!!!

    Your responses suggest you don't ..
    Who was it that asked for and accepted Nigel's resignation?

    The unions own both.

    OK - Yes, I see your point ..

    Would I let this lot run my business ??? No - I would not let any of the party hierarchy run my business - they are a useless bunch of wannabes and do-gooders .. who's major recreation is being involved in the Labour party - they need to get a life ...

    Would I let the Caucus run my business? That depends on which ones .. Claire Curran? Not at all - she's using up oxygen for no good purpose .. Others? Possibly ..

    It's easy to make the argument that Nigel's actions have damaged the party - and for the good of the party he needs to resign. Nigel at least had the grace to accept he stuffed up and resigned ..

    That is not the same thing as asking for his resignation ..

    If Nigel had refused, she could not dump him - that would have to go to the party for a vote of 'No Confidence' ... i.e. only the party can roll him .. which is highly likely, almost certain, to go against him - especially if the motion was proposed by the PM ..

    Nigel seems to have accepted the reality of his position .. .

    Well it's a fucking sight easier than trying to argue that the parliamentary wing and the party aren't the same organisation.

    Yes - obviously ..

    The distinction between the party and the caucus is a nuanced one - that seems to be beyond many people here (excluding you, of course .. who does get it)

    So if I'm not blowing Labours cock I'm a redneck? Interesting take on it.
    I suggested that perhaps a Kiwi living abroad had every reason to take an interest in NZ politics, if that's redneck crap then your credibility just took a hit.

    She steadfastly refuses to take an interest in New Zealand's problems (this current scandal, Ihumatao, housing, homeless, child poverty, etc) and conveniently disappears out of the country to avoid the issues. Trying to get positive air-time for the job at the UN, obviously.

    .
    How would this be proven, you are talking a lot of if's
    Would for instance 450 texts between them and a secret payout directly out of the PM's leaders fund ie tax payer money be enough to prove they were aware of the allegations?
    Or could they say they were was not a party to the dispute, and they did not know what the dispute was or how it was settled, Despite the 450 texts directly between the PM and the alleged victim?
