David Cunliffe, the Labour Party leader, warns his gunner to 'Keep the powder dry'. On 13 November 2013 Labour fired a warning shot at SkyCity, saying it would not honour compensation clauses in a deal that would see the casino operator build a $402 million international convention centre in Auckland in exchange for more gaming machines and an extension of its licences. The 35-year compensation clause was to allow SkyCity compensation if the Crown changed the concessions - a provision seen as targeting a possible Labour-Green government scrapping the deal.
