HOLIDAY HOOHAA


We have been doing a bit of grumbling about the unfortunate state of affairs that means that we miss out on two holidays this year - Waitangi Day and Anzac Day.

Now as much as we like to go on holiday this is not something that can just be changed willy nilly.

We were going to proffer a whole set of arguments about why the status quo should remain.


Grant Robertson is one of the few Labour politicians we respect but this holiday thing smacks of political opportunism in Election year.. Grant is way better than that. He is capable of serious policy development of the sort that can change lives for the better. A private members bill will get Grant some headlines but the subject demeans him.
