    Smarter than many. Yes. And an interesting proposition to form "coalition" of Maori perhaps across the House to form a stronger lobby group. Great.

    Interesting to hear on Morning Report this morning, the feature on Asian Expectations. There is a belief that National will keep the promises to clean up the streets of South Auckland so that dairy owners will feel safe. They expect that there will be quick action.
    What has been Helen's call? "Under promise. Over deliver."

    Actually I am not sure what you can easily identify from many MP's on a local plane. Our electorate MP National, is a very pleasant chap, the young Mr King. But I know of nothing specifically that he has done in the electorate, other than open things. (like doors and bottles.) He might have done important things but not in my ken.

    Craig: "quite happy to know people who actually think due process, the presumption of innocence,"
    Now that I totally believe in and so do you unless it is Clark, or Peters, or Veitch.

    Funny. There was a couple of clips tonight advertising the late news.
    2 seconds each.
    Goff & King striding purposefully and confidently towards the camera.
    Key and group milling loosely. Key's face looking uncertain.
    Funny how an image can stick after such a brief moment.

    Paul:"that they didn't says two things; firstly they can see beyond increasingly irrelevant social arrangements and secondly that Goff is the best person for the job."

    Thirdly that the Labour discipline practised now for years, still stands. Thanks Helen.

    My hindsight is totally unimportant except to the cat. John Key's hindsight suggests lack of foresight and that is from someone whose opinions do matter- a lot.

  • Hard News: Congratulations, Mr Key,

    Sofie: Reading between the lines you sound like a great survivor. Cheers.

    Craig:Do you think that Nats would rush forward and offer a helping hand if it was Labour who had to face the economic onslaught?
