Hard News: The Politics of Absence, in reply to Russell Brown,
2002 election was displaying impatience and even anger when things didn’t go her way. She tended to react poorly to being wrong and was prone to believing her own bullshit.
Nooo, she was perfect. ;)

His swipes at Chauvel and Labour in the House were rather feline like, which I think lets himself down. I thought he was better than that.Trouble is he has let that show a few times now.Guess he may have been working on his inner facial scar tissue. However as A G. He was dealing with all of our human rights/civil liberties and I for one would rather he not treat all of us so dismissively.

I hope Chris Finlayson’s bosses can refrain from throwing him any more hospital passes.
He certainly was the biatch of the week. "Geez girlfrien' sometimes you gotta swallow." I think he likes being on top., and I had such high hopes.
But hey, one thing Clark had in spades over any Nat, she had maturity. I saw her once say "haters" frustrated. That was it. Talk about cool calm and on top. :) -

Yes National, this vote doesn't have your name on it!
NEVER!
And McCully
And that bloody Speaker. Dictator Smith. Actually both Smiths can take a hike. Get some fresh air. Clean out those puny brains of theirs :) -

Perhaps, but while I like Simon a lot I don’t think his legacy as Justice Minister is that much to be proud of. The right to silence should never have been under threat. Ever.
Can’t all be perfect Craig ;)
I’ll give him his ability to actually use Select Committees for the purpose they were intended, and being respectful enough to listen and be swayed enough to change his view on the right to silence. If I had a choice, Simon would remain, Joyce would be gone. Oh, and Key and Bennett and …. and Anne Tolley, too cruel for skool!And Gerry Brownlee .
And Coleman.
And Collins (hells Kitchen)
And The nodding head behind Key
And the nodding head beside Key
And Henare can take a stroll too :) -

Simon Power's valedictory speech,
Paul, all 14 of them are up at Red Alert . If nothing else it shows who is leaving.

Hard News: The Politics of Absence, in reply to BenWilson,
I guess it just seems weird to me that never once in my life have I spoken to anyone who is poor, elderly or disabled who has actually got anything useful from approaching the local MP
I have and have mentioned it somewhere here before. Goff gave me personal legal advice saving this poor ailing woman lots of money. he educated me about our legal system and gave me differing scenarios if I took different stances with my court case. He will answer my emails if I have queries and include other (read inclusive Leader, not only person in Party Leader) spokespeople from Labour who can best help with any queries I have. An example of a forwarded email of mine has enabled me to be in communication via email with Charles Chauvel this last week because he has been up through the night trying to sort out the surveillance bullshit that National tried to roll out. And, that has led to people of intelligence (Professor Geddis is one) commenting on Red Alert and being listened to and whose knowledge has been considered as an important part of redrafting the horribilis bill in order for Labour to support any of it
.Well, there is a drop a suggestion box in the door of Jackie Blue's office (in Mt Roskill shops) of which I have never seen open since it was opened, when she was supposed to be in Onehunga sharing with Peseta Sam Whattsit. -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Bart Janssen,
It was a ghost I tell you. I never sent that post. I was out, away from laptop.
I see Breakfast Lunch and Dinner are still there. Safe for another day :) -
Ok, now I got carried away (wonder why ;) so a shot of the shower . I think my man is rather clever. A hot shower in the bush is a lovely experience.

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Lilith __,
Very classy whare iti, Sofie!
T’is . Excellent hot shower behind that wall of broms too. Open plan, looking out into the bush. It’s very cool.
Being a vegequarian, I thought this shot over the back fence up here was a stark reminder for meat lovers.:)
BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER
