Hey Clint
If your Energy Spokesperson is asked if he is pleased about something, you’d think he’d be able to answer without having to check with his political advisor.
Twitter has a fairly amusing hash tag running on #heyclint.
There is nothing wrong with checking lines with your staff. But generally you are meant to do that before the interview – not halfway through it!
Labour’s Energy Spokesperson is not in their shadow cabinet, so presumably Gareth will be Minister of Energy in a Greens/Labour Government and in charge of nationalising a $6 billion a year industry. I guess Clint will be a busy man if he is!
