 He said he stood aside because he, I quote, didn't trust the system to give a straight shooter a fair deal. It's dominated by self-serving unionists and a gaggle of gays. Will there be repercussions for Mr O'Connor over his statements? They're not exactly towing the party line. Well, that's Damien. Damien comes from the West Coast and the West Coast. I stand by what I said. This is not about Labour leadership. It's more about Labour want to be leadership. I thought his terminology was unfortunate and it was inaccurate. He, if he had something that he wanted to say, he's welcome to say that to his colleagues and to me. I've never tripped up. I've never stuffed up. I've done the job. What, if any, discussions did you have with Phil Goff about this matter of you returning? Phil said I was welcome back. I have to confess he sounded like he was chewing dead rats as he said it. Do you think Phil Goff is the right person to lead the Labour Party? I have always supported the leader of the Labour Party. I support him as long as he's leader, but I think he's got to ask himself and the caucus have got to ask him whether he can win the next election. I've never tripped up. I've never stuffed up. I've done the job. I've done the job.
