Time for Labour to get its house in order
The Labour Party has an opportunity to get its house in order and look forward to the election after a dismal couple of years. Laura Walters writes that might be a job best suited to a woman. The Labour Party will want to use the election of its new president to get its house in order and move on from almost two years of mismanaged sexual assault controversies. This weekend, the Labour Party will converge on Whanganui for its annual conference. The AGM will have all the usual components, including campaign workshops, a guest speaker, socialising opportunities, and speeches from top dogs Grant Robertson, Kelvin Davis and Jacinda Ardern. But Ardern’s brief opening address on the Friday evening is expected to include more than self-congratulations and an optimistic throw forward to next year’s election.
