Don\u2019t post. Don\u2019t do pub talk. And don\u2019t declare it the year of growth if Donald Trump is the president.<\/p>\n
Celebrations for a big and bodacious Oriini Kaipara byelection victory were shortlived for Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori thanks to T\u0101kuta Ferris\u2019s decision to double down on a social media post aghast at a multicultural group of Labour supporters for Peeni Henare on the campaign trail. That was compounded by party president John Tamihere entering the breach, and a mysterious reallocation of the role of party whip.<\/p>\n
In a new Gone By Lunchtime, Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire talk through the fallout and ask what it means for TPM and their relationship with Labour.<\/p>\n
Plus: a bigger-than-expected contraction in the economy has seen GDP shrink by 0.9%: is the government running out of time for the weather to change and was it a good idea to bet everything on growth with the jeopardy of a Trump White House was plain to see?<\/p>\n
In other defeat from the jaws of victory news, New Zealand First\u2019s new champion Stuart Nash enjoyed about 10 minutes of acclaim before putting his foot in it.<\/p>\n
And as Winston Peters gives David Seymour yet another dressing down, what explains the government\u2019s refusal to simply announce its position on a Palestinian state?<\/p>\n
(Oh, and we issue a formal apology for propagating disinformation in last week\u2019s audiocast.)<\/p>\n
