I asked yesterday whether Chris Hipkins thought we were stupid. 

And as luck would have it, he answered our question – yes, he does. 

First you have the Future Fund, a cornerstone policy, revelation that they aren't telling us who's money goes in and what sort of job creation they are expecting because they got bogged down in the Treaty issues, so we will need to wait until after the election. 

That's a massive problem given they only have one policy and that policy looks to be a huge waste of our money. 

Policy number two is a secret. But according to Chris, who appears to literally be melting in front of our eyes as the election year blowtorch gets pointed his way, he says on our behalf we "don't really care about the detail". 

That’s what he said. Did he ask you? He didn’t ask me. But he seems confident to suggest we don't really care about the detail. 

The breathtaking thing about that is I think he actually believes it. 

I think he has shown a side of the limousine left. They genuinely think we are a bit thick, that they are intellectually superior, and the complicated stuff really should be left to those who know what they're doing or think they know what they're doing. 

Can you name me any other party that takes their cornerstone policy and tells you that you don’t need to know the detail? And further, to go on to suggest you're not really interested anyway. 

This would be bad enough if these guys hadn't been running the place for a while. But they ran the place three years ago and that very same "you're dumb, we know what we're doing" sunk them. 

Hipkins in Auckland last week says everyone is over lockdown except the Newstalk ZB audience. 

Hipkins this week says no one is interested in policy detail. 

So one policy on tax, one policy that’s secret, and two observations that show the guy is literally either having a breakdown, or he is setting out to destroy his party in real time. 

If you're remotely connected to Labour and want to help, get to him fast and hose him down. 

Because he is the Government's greatest gift.
