The Duplicitous Dealings Of Labour Continue
The article by Labour MP Tim Barnett in Norml News in which he suggests the Government has softened its approach to cannabis-related offences is a clear example of Labour’s duplicitous dealings with its coalition partners, says New Zealand First MP Craig McNair.
“Tim Barnett’s article implies that Labour’s agreement with United Future to stop cannabis legislation effectively means nothing and highlights what John Tamihere has said about Labour’s plotting and double-crossing of their coalition partners.
“This is a classic example of Labour talking out of one side, while pursuing their own agenda on the other side,” said Mr McNair.
