Being Wrong

I was quite excited when the Maori party was formed - not in the sense that anything positive would result from it. But I thought any step away from Labour is a good thing right?

Not so much.

It takes quite a lot of effort to be worse than Labour - you have to try with both hands. But last night the Maori party voted to send Wayne Mapp's private members bill to the select committee. This bill would enable an employer to fire an employee for any reason they liked during the first 90 days of employment.

UPDATE: Three Maori party members voted for the bill, one voted against it. The one who voted against it was Hone Harawira.
