Hard News: What Hekia Parata actually said, in reply to Tinakori,
We are indeed and the spoken word hardly ever emerges in well wrought sentences and paragraphs even when the interviewee is used to being interrogated by journalists. If they do, its usually because the text has been fixed up at a later date and agreed between interviewee and interviewer.
If Parata would like to make some kind of clear unambigious statement then she has the channels to do that. But whenever anyone asks anything, in the House or outside it, she hedges and fudges. It's hard not to see that as intentional.

I imagine most commenters would praise her frankness with an interviewer and willingness to actually answer questions
Eh? Are we discussing the same interview?
*although I note that she did actually front to be interviewed this time. Unlike with Novopay. -
Hard News: What Hekia Parata actually said, in reply to Tom Semmens,
one can’t help but get the impression that this minister is completely out of her depth
Or obfuscating. I think parents and teachers in Chch would agree with that. Parata acts ruthlessly while speaking vaguely.

Hard News: What Hekia Parata actually said, in reply to Euan Mason,
At face value, this looks like a massive shift of resources from poor areas to rich areas, and that would really suck.
Exactly. And unless Parata actually denies this is the case, I think we can assume it's policy.

I really don’t see how the Adams thing isn’t orders of magnitude more serious than Collins and Oravida
This. Has anyone in the MSM picked up the story?
