Ahead of the long weekend let's give the Labour Party a report card for their policy week. It will be one of the few report cards this week because we actually turned up to work. So overall a 'C-' for presentation. They had two years to organise this, to make a splash, to grab the headlines and run with them. Policy one didn’t have any detail so it was just a thought bubble. Policy two was forgotten about, or sneakily given to a magazine ahead of time, or a combo of both. And policy three was fine

Ah the lament. Poor, old RNZ's obituary of the climate-related disclosures (CRD) makes you weep. "New Zealand guts climate policy it bragged about to the world". That's their headline. What's misleading about the headline is the Government who “gutted” it isn't the Government who bragged about it. As for the gutting and the world leading - "world leading" in what sense? We were simply the first to the line with a pointless idea. The first country, if you believe it, was the previous Government that
