Paddy Gower reports on a difficult day for the Three Amigos, the candidates for the Labour Party leadership. The tweets should be read from bottom to top, for the correct chronological order:
So here's the basic chronology of events. Instead of being in Parliament this afternoon, the Three Amigos waived the chance to ask questions of Ministers, and decided (singularly or individually) to go to a union protest in Auckland; at the taxpayer's expense, of course.
However the EPMU thwarted that plan, and told the Three Amigos to go whistle. The Three Amigos became two, when Shane Jones broke ranks, and went to the union meeting anyway. Waitakere Man will be delighted with the defiance showed by Matua Shane.
In the meantime, David Cunliffe and Grant Robertson are left with egg on their respective faces. They have squandered a chance to score a hit on the PM, and they have been turned away by Labour's largest affiliated trade union.
Oh dear; how sad; never mind.
