The Labour Party caucus in Napier has been cancelled.
The retreat was due to start on Monday, but 10 MPs, including party leader David Shearer, were unable to leave Auckland because of airport fog.
Deputy Leader Grant Robertson, who is MP for Wellington Central, also indicated he wants to stay in the capital due to the earthquakes.
So we can't help but wonder; isn't it kind of appropriate that Labour's caucus meeting has had to be delayed because of fog? After all, Labour's policy vision is hardly clear at the moment, and if the polls are to be believed, few people can actually see what Labour stands for any more.
