And how quickly things can change... Two months after this coverage National had lost 20 percent, Bridges was gone, and Labour were knocking at 60!
Six years down the line both the majors are now fighting to stay out of the 20s
It’s crazy that the last time Labour and National both polled in the 40s we hadn’t had a single case of Covid in New Zealand yet. Six years later and there’s just no sign that era is coming back

You’re reminder the Hipkins is attempting to rewrite history as the first:
-Male Labour leader to retake govt in 42 years
-PM to get a second bite at the office in 62 years
-Labour leader from the Wellington region to contest and win an election in 69 years
A herculean task..
Don’t mind if National try drag John out again for this campaign. Cause sure, Helen can be bit annoying, but you can’t argue not she’s giving informed critique. But John hasn’t read a newspaper since 2016 and you can’t tell because he sounds like a dumbass these days
Honestly not even really that opposed to the defence force plane and chopper flights for the PM. We live in a sparse country and schedules can be packed but man, National PMs LOVE to use them for just the dumbest shit
Hearing refusal to speak Bill will land you a three year prison sentence where they force you to take daily classes on why National had the “moral authority” to form government after the 2017 general election
Sir Geoffrey’s decision to whip support within Labour for the frigates and actually making call to buy them as PM was actually a great call. Read the hansard. He correctly identified you cannot hope to have independent foreign policy without independent capability
I can’t believe Steve Nash, legendary NBA point guard, two time NBA MVP and Basketball Hall of Famer would say those things about backbench National MP Katie Nimon
