Deal or no deal
This party ain't big enough for the one of us.
Andrew Jenner has “demanded’ a less restrictive new deal with the Rockliff government. He also says he’s backing Ferguson until the Public Accounts Committee reports on the TT-Line Spirits project.
Bold move — going for a better deal with less leverage. Not a standard negotiating strategy, for sure.
From The Mercury:
“I need the flexibility not to be restrained in any way in binding adjournments and obviously on the budget.
“So I’ll be looking to do the agreement that gives me that freedom.
“I’ll sign it as soon as they agree to my terms.”
Smacks of John Tucker, methinks.
Premier Rockliff doesn’t to have Andrew Jenner’s backing.
In fact, it would be best for Rockliff to cast him aside.
Any single politician that believes they hold the balance of power is dangerous.
