Yesterdaze: The Neglect Experiment in Leadership
comment
Spiteful, grumpy, communication problems – our politicians have had all sorts of subpar results this week. James Elliott analyzes it.
It’s been another week where the weather cycle dominates the news cycle, and it could be next week as well.
Observance of Waitangi Day was undermined by both drizzle and dribbling, especially from Blue Chris, who described the treaty as “a bit of an experiment”. and “WTAF?” I read these comments over breakfast the next day. I’m trying something new with flaxseed oil in my granola and yogurt. This is a bit of an experiment. Also, the breakfast food combination carries the right level of importance and importance to use descriptions like “a little experiment”.
RedChris has no interest in agreeing with BlueChris’ description of “a little experiment”. He probably decided it wasn’t prime minister-like to be seen kicking a man with one foot firmly in his mouth. did not agree. “What I have said very clearly is that it was a brave experiment,” he said. And I think this he can agree that the two words are polar apart. Not many people wanted to go to the movies to see Mel Gibson in “Little Hearts.”

Another feature of Waitangi news coverage was the return of Winston Peters and Shane Jones. Hungry and grumpy, taking a swing at every other politician. If not, they’re a couple of Muppets. And Statler and Waldorf are the elderly, mean-spirited hecklers who appear on a TV show hosted by Kermit the Frog.
“I think we can all agree that ‘Little’ and ‘Brave’ are two different things. Not many people wanted to go to the movies to see Mel Gibson in ‘Little Heart.’
As for mean things, Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has had a good week, but it doesn’t say much. it was done. This video was clearly directed by someone with extensive experience in making hostage videos.
Mayor Brown did not announce or discuss an apology in front of the media, but at least a precedent was set. I hope you see another nasty video apology on a Facebook feed near you about about. We have made good use of the mechanism and provided critical assistance to 163,000 Aucklanders in need of help accessing their rights. Thousands more Aucklanders affected by the floods may need help from the CAB and its volunteers to navigate the bureaucracy and access their rights in the coming months. Is it reasonable to assume that? Yes. Very reasonable. Probably, maybe. So here are some free citizen advice for mayors. Leave the Citizens Advice Bureau alone. Some questioned whether your comments on the Oakland floods resonated with you. Stopping funding the Citizens Advice Bureau would give a pretty clear answer to that question, especially at this difficult time for so many Aucklanders.

It’s been an eventful week for RedChris as well. First, I rushed to Canberra to meet the current Australian Prime Minister. [checks notes] Anthony Albanese. These encounters and greetings follow a pattern that includes the exchange of gifts. This resulted in the first apparent failure by RedChris as PM. Neesy (or Neeso, Alby, or Albo) gifted her RedChris with Australian music in the form of vinyl LPs. This provided a perfect opportunity for Chippies (or Chippo or Hippies, and maybe not Hippos) to return the gift of vinyl with a completely passive aggressive gift of denim. This was a clear opportunity loss.
Perhaps Red Chris had other things in mind, like the “policy purge” carried out under the banner of focusing on the bread and butter issue, but the policy reset was the bread and butter Topping the list of discards was the demise of the TVNZ/RNZ merger, which led to one of the highlights of the week. In his Corin Dann interview with RNZ, Finance Minister Grant Robertson was criticized for wasting money on TVNZ and he on RNZ. I think kids call it very meta.
Have a calm and hopefully rain-free weekend.
