Point of Order: WHO SAID SHANE JONES WAS ALL WASHED-UP? THREE WATERS (AND CO-GOVERNANCE) HAVE FLUSHED HIM BACK INTO POLITICKING
Shane Jones — remember him?- — has re-emerged into public life and thrown a hand grenade at the Labour government on its Three Waters policy. He has done so in a think-piece for the op-ed page in the NZ Herald at a time when the Ardern government thought it had recaptured the high ground in the nation’s politics, with its measures to take the sting out of inflation.
But Jones’ intervention has widened the battleground.
The implications, separately, are interesting. Does it foreshadow Jones, a close ally of NZ First leader Winston Peters, stepping back into politics? Could it be that Jones senses that here is the issue that could revive NZ First from its moribund state?.......
