Leaking like a sieve - Labour MPs know their days in government are numbered. Time to befriend the media by leaking information to curry favour.

Minister and former party whip – the role tasked with keeping MPs in line – Kieran McAnulty was right to lament the gravity of this week’s leak, telling reporters in parliament on Wednesday, “I’m very surprised to hear that... It’s actually quite a serious thing and I’m disappointed to hear that it’s happened.”
Because leaking is a true hallmark of opposition and weakened leadership.
Dr Sharma spoke up about the shocking bullying occurring within Labours ranks, and instead of sympathy and support he was shunned and booted out. The alleged bully was made a whip.
Now another Labour MP - who wants to remain anonymous, presumably to avoid being shunned and booted out - says that the party has known about issues with Allan ‘for 2 years’ and that they have been “bullied and yelled at” by Allan.
The Labour camp has not been a happy one for a long time now. Bullying gets covered up, perpetrators get promoted, victims get the cold shoulder and are told to keep quiet. It’s a sick and deeply sad situation. Labour may believe they are morally superior people, when the facts are speaking loud and clear: they are not morally fit to govern us.

‘Just hours before former Justice Minister Kiri Allan quit politics for good, an emotional Labour MP spoke out about her conduct, chiding the party for turning a blind eye.
Subdued MPs gathered in Wellington on Tuesday for the first caucus meeting following Allan’s arrest, after a car crash on Sunday evening.
The Post understands there was a “frank discussion” about the events which lead to her downfall. Allan was struggling with her mental health after a relationship break-up.
But she had also faced allegations in recent weeks about her treatment of staff, which the former justice minister strongly denies.
During the meeting, a first-term MP was reportedly visibly emotional, telling colleagues: “We can't pretend that we haven't known about this for two years.”
The MP told the meeting they had been “bullied and yelled at” by Allan but thought it “was the price to pay to get decent policy through.” They did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday night.’
Labour covered it all up for two years, until we ultimately get to the sad events that occurred the other night in Wellington. Now it’s everyone else’s fault: the media, the opposition, on-line commentators - everyone is to blame except Labour, and Allan herself.
Apparently this incident occurred because of the way people treat ‘wahine maori’. We can see the way this ‘wahine maori’ was treated: she was made a cabinet minister with all the perks and power that that prestigious role entails.
