He's coming out of the Red corner, swinging, that Phil Goff!
First, he upper-cuts the employers with a promise to raise the minimum wage, causing them to fume and pontificate about youth unemployment, seemingly their greatest concern, then it's the farmers turn, with the spectre of having to pay their share for the emissions that result from their industry giving them conniptions!
The Labour Party have stirred, it seems, from their torpor, and are landing punches Left, Right and Centre!

I liked the Southland times editorial about the minister for children!!
And Phil is swinging, but is he really landing any?
You need spelling lessons.
Goff Jabs and Faints
Thanks Adolf (though I saw it coming:-)
As to landing them Shunda, I think the fact that he's in the ring and showing plenty of machismo is a great step forward and a winning move from Goff.
Farmers pay for their pollution? I thought Labour were suggesting farmers pay 10% of the cost and the taxpayers give them a 90% subsidy.
The Greens carbon tax would be the fair way AC, but Labour's plan is a smidgeon better than National's free pass.
Cheers for the invite Lloyd.
Love it. More of the same from all parties, only outdone by MORE of the same! If a minimum wage or a tax is as good a thing as the people believe, then the best party is the one with the biggest numbers!
Or the lowest numbers. I'm not sure.
Anyway, it's much fairer, and more equal. Must be.
Somebody has to pay for the coal in the nations train, everybody must do their bit. It's only right. It's only fair. And if you don't, we will show you just how benevolent we really are. You've been given permission to work the train, and the tracks are being laid down. No man lives or can live for himself. We have a stake in you and you in us. It's all for the greater good, you know.
Where do the tracks lead? Why a train? No, we do not want a skyscraper. How quaint. Anyway. We are all equal, and you've been given permission.
You're so very good at keeping the passenger car clean. So very good.
No, Galt's Gulch is not on the list of destinations. Never heard of it.
Robert, what is that is attracting fundamentalist Christians to you blog?
Surely not your comments on the Frogblog rapture post.
Shane - I hate it when you talk sense, but oh, how easy it is to mock!
Lay out your plan so we can weigh it up.
Toad - you may be right about that! I certainly sensed jessed-doves circling and Shunda can smell them from 500km away.
On a darker note, I had to fish in my spam file to get your comment out and while I was there, found one by Gareth Hughes as well. I wonder what the two of you have attached to your comments that cause them to be parked?
Odd.
Possibly too many hyperlinks? Never used blogger, so not sure if that is a setting that can be adjusted, or do you have to wait for the spam filter to learn from what you've cleared.
Must be the hyperlinks - there were others in there with the same. Sorry you didn't make it up there Toad (ascending and all that rupture).
Liberty provides a solution and moral standpoint for living and for the role of government.
Regretfully, it is a macro view, beyond the myopia of vested interests.
Can't be enacted then in the current environment?
That's a great shame, perhaps.
The myopia of vested interests has a lot to answer for (though by its nature, it won't.)
