“But she is the leader of this government, and of a party that is vastly larger in both power and popularity. Her words set the standard of behaviour for ministers. She is, in this sense, the most powerful political pundit we have. It’s well past time she found that voice,” Cooke continued.of being “gutless”, displaying a “staggering” failure of leadership and having “all the backbone of a spineless jellyfish”.
She promised, for example, to build 100,000 new, affordable homes in a decade. After almost three years, only a few hundred have been built, and the ambitious target has been ditched. Garner accused the Prime Minister of avoiding “tough” domestic issues, Mr Peters’ conduct foremost among them. That isn’t a consensus view in Garner’s radio studio, let alone New Zealand as a whole. His comments sparked a disagreement between his co-hosts, broadcaster Amanda Gillies and“Empathy is only part of the job of running the country. On empathy, she passes with flying colours. On actually running the country, well, she fails miserably. And they don’t see that overseas,” said Richardson.
Each party needs to hit a minimum threshold of 5 per cent to get list members elected. In 2017, NZ First and the Greens both passed it easily, winning nine and eight seats respectively. But neither party won an electorate.
