    Norm Kirk died far too soon. He was pretty much the last proper Labour Prime Minister we ever had. At least the last one to have ever held a "real" job. If he had lasted long enough to put his stamp on the Labour Party it probably wouldn't be in the shitty position it is today.

    Then the left happened. Relentless negativity to destroy whatever we had and create a new dawn (Recalling Aotearoa).

    And today he'd be excommunicated from not just Labour, but the entire Left.
