Peter Dunne? Is he and his do-nothing waste of time party still around? Give dunne a pulse

[wairarapakid]

Do nothing? More than $3 billion over four years in business tax reform is doing nothing? Removing tax from charitable donations is doing nothing? Successfully extending the reach of daylight saving is doing nothing? You really should get out more and pick up on what's really happening in the world, sunshine.

Slams?? more like Yawns. The only thing Pete can slam is the car door and even that is a bit limp. Peter Dunne is the lame version of Winston Peters, the Jim Anderton of Boring Politics (and that's really saying something!!)

exactly right, there is little government can do to change the situation over education. The current education policies government implement still fail any significant progress. legislation will still be in the hands of european parliamentarians and lobby groups, and input from Maori will be minimal... a token gesture of good will and nothing else besides.

@wairarapakid All those things are not going to help raise children out of poverty or tackle the many social issues in this country that Dunne has said he will tackle-Dunne is a waste of space and he is Dunne-for at the next election!

Political debate in the house?

ive seen more school yard tactics than serious debate,

i mean that in the way mps never awnser questions directly, its like they need a teacher to tell them "no dont point at timmy im talking to you mr Dunn"

Hone is a straight talker and the spin doctors can have that.

Media are just crap, if they wer so good we wouldint be on youtube looking for the real story so your right bout that.

[TangataWhenuaDotCom]

I've seen debate up close n he does more point n counter point than debate - will probably try harder now that he is the lone ranger and a sell out by pd is still a cab

[TangataWhenuaDotCom]

whatever - dunne is done and is still a cabbage

[MrDialup]

You obviously don't know much about political debate in the house. Peter Dunne sledged Hariwira in a very cleaver way, such that he would not need to appologise for it. Sadly Hariwira tends to be slightly more blunt, and is often forced to withdraw and appologise as a result.

Perhaps more importantly, I remember Peter Dunne getting some media coverage over this, which is the real objective of any politician.
