David Bennett for Transport. Good God. I would have thought an Aucklander or a Wellingtonian should be a lock for something like that.

When your transport policy is moarr roads does it matter?

We got a vague commitment to a NEX-style busway in North West Auckland out of Chris Bishop at some point, which is all we're getting out of Labour.

I can see her issue here.

Not wanting to be accountable?

No.

The interview was a train wreck. Collins was inept.

There's a lot to be said about the media not asking hard questions over Labour's repeated policy failings. But that ain't it.

Yip. Shouting at the interviewer is usually a terrible way to get your message across.

She is the conductor of the party train wreck.

That was painful to watch. I would not go as far as trainwreck. Just painful.

Politicians have to expect this when they are low in the polls regardless of party. Peters gets a lot of this at times as have others at low points.

It's been so long since I watched broadcast news I did not recognise the interviewer. Good current affairs interview I thought. I'll tune in more often albeit on YouTube.

Now she's doubled down and accuse tvnz of bias.

It's easy to see why her polling is so bad. This is a question she knew she would have to answer so her answer was she hadn't had time to learn how to use Zoom?

This sort of thing will very justifiably get picked up by the media and now become a week long epic. It was totally predictable and avoidable by giving an answer that wasn't laughable.

@freitasm please moderate this if it is unacceptable.

@handle9 nothing to disagree there.

She lives in New Zealand and represents people who voted for her. She should lead by example.

Instead she blames everyone else for her failings.

"She said she had since received emails from people saying they would complain about the interview to TVNZ." - her friends don't count.
