Double praise for Goff

I was pleased to see Phil Goff decline to comment on any issues around National Party President, Peter Goodfellow, with the end of his marriage. Well done on resisting the temptation.

Also pleased to see in the Herald:

Labour leader Phil Goff supports the proposed Anzac rapid-response force, with the only caveat that New Zealand must retain deployment control. …

“Having a joint taskforce for the Pacific would have some sense and is worth investigating.”

And again good not to see opposition just for the sake of opposition. Would have been nice to have on Afghanistan also, but nevertheless good to see.
