Pigs Flew

Written by  The Hound
Pigs Flew

OPINION: On the same day that pigs were reportedly seen airborne over the capital, a political journalist gave the PSA union a chip for being biased towards Labour – not the revelation of the year if you ask the Canine Crusader, but very rare to hear coming from a member of the press gallery.

Herald reporter Audrey Young noted that the PSA’s response to Nicola Willis calling for $2.4b in cuts to public service spending was a tad negative:

“This is an act of wilful destruction of the public service!” said the PSA. Yet when in August 2023 Labour similarly called for $4b in savings, the PSA said, “Public service workers must help identify savings in government cost cutting drive!”

The erstwhile Herald hack concluded her observation by saying that perhaps the PSA should just drop the pretence and affiliate to the Labour Party!
