I did ask yesterday whether Chris Hipkins thought we were stupid. And as luck would have it, the he answered the question. Yes, he does. So the future fund, this cornerstone policy of theirs, the revelation that they aren't telling us whose money goes there and what sort of job creation they're expecting because they got bogged down in the treaty issues. So we will need to wait until after the election. Massive problem, given they only have one policy, and that policy looks to be a huge waste of our money. Policy number two is now a secret. But according to Chris, who appears to literally be melting in front of our eyes as the election year blowtorch gets pointed his way, says, on our behalf, we don't really care about the detail. Excuse me, that's what he said. Did he ask you? Because he didn't ask me. But he seems confident to suggest we don't really care about the detail. Uh the breathtaking thing about that is I think he actually believes it. I think he's shown a side of the limousine left. They genuinely think we're a bit thick, that they're intellectually superior, and the complicated stuff should really be left to those who know what they're doing or think they know what they're doing. Can you name me any other party that takes their cornerstone policy and tells you you don't need to know the detail, and further to go on to suggest you're not really that interested anyway. This would be bad enough if these guys hadn't been running the place for a while, but they ran the place three years ago, and that very same you're dumb, we know what we're doing, that sunk them. Hipkins in Auckland last week. Everyone is over lockdown except the ZB audience. Hipkins this week. No one's interested in policy detail. So, one policy on tax, one policy that's secret, and two observations that show the guy is literally either having a breakdown or he's setting out to destroy his part in real time. Uh, if you are remotely connected to Labour and you want to help, get to him fast and hose him down because right now he is the government's greatest gift.
