Shearer as a fellow with international savvy has probably got his cheap housing ideas from Hong Kong.

Even Mainzeal could afford to build these hutches.

I would have thought the left connection was tenuous at best. Yeah, its nice watching the left eat themselves, but I would have thought there was as much chance of this being from the right as from the way left.

If Labour was honest about affordable homes they would have started in the Clark years when the economy was far more healthier than under the Key terms

Quite. Do many people care that some troll has created a facebook page?

The implicit contradictions in the video are:
(i) “Labour values are my values.” vs. “Beneficiaries painting their rooves isn’t bloody fair.”
(ii) “We need to value teachers.” vs. “Put bad schools and teachers on notice.”
(iii) “Affordable homes for everyone at $300,000 each.” vs. “Actually… they will cost $450,000 in Auckland.”
This tells us that:
Vote:(i) Labour values include sickness benefits for the able-bodied.
(ii) Valuing teachers should include valuing bad teachers.
(iii) Yeah, Labour don’t understand numbers.

In my wildest dreams / nightmares I just cannot see this turkey in a face to face with John Key.
The result would be gut wrenching to Labour who as a party will crash & burn. It is obvious from the comments coming from the left that they have real concerns about Shearer.

Key will wipe the floor with Shearer in the face to face debates, even more so that his knockout “show me the money” blow on Goff. Unless the TV Producers relent and allow Shearer an autocue.

I’m not a David Shearer fan, but this is pretty below the belt stuff.
Your blog of course DPF, but this is the type of rubbish that belongs on Whaleoil.

Maybe Shearer can “show us the money”

Maybe Key should “show us the jobs” instead?

Whosoever ‘A Bit Shit’ is, someone has under that pseudonym appeared on at least 2 occasions now on The Standard, but it is highly dubious, who may actually be behind all this.

In any case, the Facebook page does not seem to generate a wave of enthusiastic sympathisers and supporters, the attempted “wit” in the videos and comments is rather amateurish, and it appears it may be an average guy or girl, a fair bit disillusioned with Labour and their leader.
Given past experiences with such sensation seeking persons, it is quite likely that some more light will be shed on that one eventually. I would not overrate this, but it just adds to other “issues” that David Shearer faces.
On TS hefty debate was recently about changing some rules and introduce more “courtesy”, after one or two MPs suddenly showed up there over the last couple of weeks. That did also not go down too well with those favouring the forum for the ability to let off steam and speak rather freely, although of course, some commenters here will claim to have gathered different experiences.
A space to watch in any case.

The above comment from BWAV (whom I suspect is actually our old pal Greenfly) shows why the left are losers.
It is not the job of the government to create jobs, that is the job of the business world, losers sit at home and moan about not being able to find work. Winners get off their backside and find work.

Youre an idiot bb. Plain and simple.
Key shouldn’t go around making promises he cant deliver on then…wheres the jobs he promised in the election campaign and how’s that return to surplus by 2014 coming along?
Forget the distraction that is Shearer. Key is the proven liar!

The idea is great. Make a better one and run them in the next election campaign. Do the same with some of the Greens, Mana, NZ First policies and then a mash up of them all so the public can see what a left coalition will look like.

Mike Readman, Peter McKeefry and David Peterson… Looks like Young Act are behind this.
