Hmm. So how does the next list MP if Garrett resigns get on with her?

I predict some aftershocks from that one..

I see Graeme has just said on the Dim-Post that it's not covered by qualified privilege
Danyl's satirical response cracks me up:
I’m making a bold moral stand. Also, I hear voices and can’t control myself and it’s a binary image, not a publication.

the politicians learned nothing from our "miracle".
Let's not forget these are a lot of the same tired fuckwits who brought you leaky buildings last time they sought to make life easier for the private sector (rather than insist they stand on their own feet without a helping hand from daddy). Ambishus?

Lucy, I got the impression it was sewerage issues and not structural ones that were the issue - and that the state of emergency does override Tenancy Act protections. The new powers granted to Brownlee and chums may allow them to decree the same for the next 18 months.

Crikey - I assumed Danyl was only satirising.
From Garrett's statement to Parliament - and interesting in light of yesterday's legal judgement about suppression:
I was also granted permanent name suppression. My reluctance to answer media questions was due to my uncertainty regarding the extent of coverage of the suppression order. My preliminary legal advice is that for this reason neither I nor anyone else may comment further on this matter outside of the house at this time. I am now seeking advice on whether the name suppression order can be varied or waived so that I may take media questions.

And the Greens managed to get the OIA applied to the new Commission - but the threat to the equivalent LGOIMA stands. Easy enough to shuffle contentious decisions to a less transparent part of the system - just as the new Auckland arrangements create some discrepancies in official information obligations. None of this is accidental.

I do feel sorry for his own children (can't quite muster a belief that they've chosen him as a parent).
-
His demonization of those on ACC, whilst he complains about his insurance company withholding his benefits, says as much about his double standards
I believe the argument from him and others hinged on one being a private arrangement while the other was public funding.

Beyond this issue, I know nothing and care to know nothing
Then perhaps you might stop lecturing those of us who have bothered to take a longer term and broader interest.
