Labour’s by-election candidate protests against her own Government!

Stuff reports:

Health Minister Andrew Little was ambushed by Tertiary Education Union (TEU) members, including his party’s own newly announced candidate for Hamilton West, at the University of Waikato on Wednesday morning.

Instead of an innocuous ministerial announcement lauding a spending package aimed at bettering students’ mental health, Minister Little was met with cries of: “We lament your 2%! 2% won’t pay the rent!”

Also in attendance was a member of the Labour Party’s own – Georgie Dansey.

The party’s candidate in the upcoming Hamilton West by-election, was seen alongside union members, sporting a TEU pin.

She left after being approached by Stuff.

Dansey was announced only the day before as the party’s candidate to take on expelled member Gaurav Sharma next month.

So let’s see if we have this right.

On Tuesday she was selected as the Labour Party candidate to go out there and sell what a great job Labour is doing.

And on Wednesday she takes part in a stealth protest ambush against one of her own Ministers.

When do we stop laughing? 🙂
