That shows how radical, and dangerous the policy is and begs the question: with friends like these, who needs enemies?
That’s a question Labour will be asking about potential coalition partners as it ponders the need for the support of both the Green and Māori parties if it wants to form a government.
Both are radical, left wing, separatist parties which will be anathema to most, if not all, swing voters in the centre.
Labour’s only moderating influence would be New Zealand First, but the chances of Winston Peters and his party even contemplating supporting a government with the Green and Māori parties are too small to calculate.
Besides the NZ First leader has a very long memory and he hasn’t forgotten the damage done to his party, and the country, by Labour after 2017.
Add in Labour’s failure to show it has learned from the mistakes that resulted in its defeat last year and its prospects of governing again in two years are even more dismal.

The extinction rebels have been around for seventy odd years. We used to see these nut jobs carrying placards stating the “End of the World is Nigh” back in the fifties. What is the official measure of Nigh?
The Christians have been waiting for two thousand years.
And yet, and yet, some 40% of the electorate just love greenies, loonies, and tea party idiots.
