    +1 on what nzlemming wrote but why need to work on his manner? He is what he is and truly capable of doing a good job. Nobody is perfect. Start working on changing, then where does he stop being himself ? He is what he is. Not perfect.

    Farrar’s fantasy

    But don't they work eh? I haven't seen proof of any gossip about the Labour Party. It's just gossip.

    Ok he's a dick too. The question Hone asked had a diabolical answer and Roy responded terribly.

    So did the acting Speaker today. What a woeful performance.

    Just watching it now, he is struggling a bit but,
    I like him. The guy never gets a chance in Smiths seat. He is getting on a bit…{ ;)
    He seems genuinely interested in being fair. It’s giving everyone a chance. I reckon.

    Cunliffe is so sharp in these speeches

    He is sharp in the House too. Very easy to listen to him rip strips off National.Although I missed question time, I think Shearer held his own on the Casino after question time. They are finding their boots as a new Party. The front bench is shaping up well.

    it’s not like Shearer has said his mind is made up on everything and there’s no room for any of his colleagues to have opinions.

    He actually says the opposite. He said his Party are plenty capable of expressing well their concerns and solutions and he didn’t mind where advice comes from plus as spokespeople in opposition, they have their parts to play.
    That is my sadness for Dalziel in that her responsibilities in the Party are vast for Christchurch alone, and it would be those that do make her look alone on any Chch issues in Parliament.

    There’s another, maybe even more charitable, but still plausible, reading of “share” in that sentence,

    I might be biased but I didn't read any negativity in his speech, his Herald article or his intro on the Labour blog. As he notes, he has been out and about and doing his job and has come back to address the issues that concern his position as spokesperson for Economic Development and Finance of which I think he is perfect for.

    Nice that we get to imagine more with your father in law's portrait. And that pretty bird can't be a magpie. It's too pretty and non threatening looking. { :)

    Fay is one member of a consortium of buyers which includes iwi, for twelve individual farms.

    Well yes he is but we still have the old memories of Fay and Richwaite taking the taxpayer for one hell of a ride and it's a bit glum that he is collecting real estate.His profile has probably helped in some ways but not in others.
