It certainly is a great day for David Cunliffe, the Labour Party and the NZ working class...

A GREAT DAY for David Cunliffe, the Labour Party and the New Zealand working-class.

Whoso beset him round

With dismal stories,

Do but themselves confound;

His strength the more is.

No lion can him affright,

He'll with a giant fight,

But he will have the right

To be a pilgrim.

John Bunyan 1684

Now, let's get rid of this National-led Government!

Change of heart by Maori Party over the RMA could prove beneficial to them...

Mana leader Hone Harawira is welcoming a change of heart by the Maori Party to changes to the Resource Management Act.

The Maori Party says it can’t support Environment Minister Amy Adams’ amendments because they replace the principle of environmental sustainability with a drive for economic development.

United Future MP Peter Dunne has also gone cold on the changes, meaning the Government will have to either court New Zealand First or rewrite the bill to get it passed.

Mr Harawira is calling on his former colleagues to hold the line.

"I would sincerely hope that they stand by that decision and not allow themselves to be bought off over the next few weeks because you can absolutely guarantee Nationals going to come back at them with some lolly", he says.
