Quote of the Day - 29 June 2013

Claire Trevett comments on the differences currently between National and Labour:


If polling tracks were Roads of National Significance, then National is in a people-mover on the Waikato Expressway, occasionally zooming up and down gentle inclines but confronting little that has yet forced it to alter its speed.
Labour, meanwhile, is clinging to a battered rickshaw rattling along pothole-ridden, precipitous back roads hoping like hell to hit a flat stretch. Alongside are the outriders of the Greens and NZ First, trying to pop the rickshaw's tyres so they can purloin its passengers for themselves.

We note that Ms Trevett's comments were penned before yesterday's Auckland announcements, before the people-mover morphed into a Lexus, speeding away leaving the "battered rickshaw" parked on the side of the road.

Oh dear; how sad; never mind...
