Ririnui endorses Jones for Leader
September 22nd, 2011 at 2:00 pm by David FarrarThe Herald reports:
Outgoing Labour MP Mita Ririnui is backing Shane Jones as the party’s next leader should it lose November’s election.
While Mr Ririnui did not offer names about who needed to go, he was prepared to offer opinion as to who the next leader should be.
“There has been a lot of coverage around three particular people: David Cunliffe, David Parker, Shane Jones, and to be honest Shane Jones is my preference.”
Having incumbent MPs openly tell the media who they back for the next leader is just another sign of the real lack of discipline within Labour. It’s good for Shane Jones though.

And in the meantime, Mr Ririnui will enjoy more golf in his retirement, using the clubs he bought in Perth and paid for on his ministerial credit card…

Labour maybe be on-handed, but Shane Jones knows full well how to use both hands.
Vote:He has ample experience gained watching blue movies at taxpayer’s expense (he’s ambidextrous by training).

That’ll definitely stroke Shane’s ego.

If he gets the leadership it will be a negative for the party. The man after all has sticky stuff on his hands, That can leave a foul taste in the mouth so I am told.
So all good Shane to lead Labour

Sounds like Liarbore should do what the good Republic of Whangamomona did a few years and elect a goat as leader, they could do no worst and would probably attract the retards back that have defected to the Melons . Sadly the goat was murdered in what was described as a political assassination.

Poor old double/tripple dipper Shane.
It’s not so much that he had a few off the wrist,
it’s that he charged it to us.
If he wasn’t such a fukin, leaching miser he might have had a future.
He only needs to read this thread to know his political career
Vote:has as much future as Onans sperm.

Sorry, that was meant to read,
Vote:‘fukin, friggin miser.’

At least we can be sure a Labour government under Shame Jones wouldn’t copy Australia with its draconian Internet filtering restrictions.

Ringing endorsement. Certainly not something Shane will keep hidden in a brown paper bag…..

No – somebody called Shearer will get the job with Jacinta Pony as deputy. New Brooms or something.
But will piss off the left wing feminists, but they may have no option.
