Transtasman on Cunliffe’s deputy choice

Transtasman notes:

Labour provided a continuation of a bizarre election year this week, while National made itself as small a target as possible. Former leader David Cunliffe went on Campbell Live and told its genial host he thought having the Wellington Central MP and leadership aspirant Grant Robertson as his deputy was kind of a neat idea

He might want to check with David Shearer about just how good a deputy Robertson can be. But of course it would not be just Robertson as deputy: an hour after telling John Campbell’s adoring viewers of this, Cunliffe told Native Affairs’ Mihirangi Forbeshe also kind of liked the idea of having a Maori deputy leader. If the Cunliffe Family visits Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World this weekend, don’t rule out an announcement next week Cunliffe’s running mates are a brace of stingray and a handful of krill.

Heh, very good.
