Quote of the Day - 27 April 2012


Cameron, a Wellington-based lawyer, had been the clear front runner for the Shearer job.
He is seen as having close links with Labour deputy leader Grant Robertson, sparking suggestions the appointment of Robertson loyalists in senior positions was leaving the deputy well-placed for a future tilt at the leadership.
When approached last week Mr Robertson rubbished the leadership speculation and said he had no interest in the job.
The appointments seen as "Robertson-friendly" include his former Wellington Central campaign manager Patrick Leyland, who accompanied Shearer to Nelson last week and filmed the Labour leader's second "vision" speech. There are also suggestions Jordan Carter is poised to replace Chris Flatt as party secretary. 

Where's Chris Trotter's "Waitakere Man" when Labour clearly needs him?
