the simple, beautiful and amazingly (99%) efficient bicycle,

Duncan Garner had no right to ask questions about internal politics when we had a foreign government representative at the press conference.
Bad form!
Been there done that ;-)
Garners behaviour at the press conference following Rices visit was, in my view, disgusting but considering that our "News" is merely a vehicle for advertising, did not surprise me at all.

Is there anyone on here who, in a strange and small way, will actually miss Winston once he’s gone in a few months time?
Well I would, he's like the "naughty" boy in class, disruptive but entertaining. Parliament would be far too boring without him and as such who would bother to watch them?

well below $2.3 mill.
Sorry, I must clarify that. It was 2.5 million shares at a current value of around $400.000. If the shares were worth more that the allowance as long as any taxes were paid it was legal, but slippery.

Unless you're proposing to change the rules on family trusts for everyone, it wasn't a story.
The rules are quite clear as to how much you can "Donate" to a family trust in one yearand it is well below $2.3 mill.

"us vs. Winston" slant in a lot of the comments coming from Espiners, Garners et al.
Garners behaviour at the press conference following Rices visit was, in my view, disgusting but considering that our "News" is merely a vehicle for advertising, did not surprise me at all.
If, God forbid, National achieves its goal of acquiring the treasury benches John Key may very well need that sex change to make himself attractive to Winston after using him as a pawn in his desperate attempt to look "better". -
the allegation he stood up and threw across the House at Craig Foss -- in effect, that he'd made a false declaration to the Register of Pecuniary Interests -- was bullshit.
That is debatable, the fact that he could hide the assets in his family trust and , therefore not declare them, is something that needs looking at and, in my opinion, Winnie was right in bringing it to the fore. The whole, who gave what to who and why etc. was the whole raisin de turd behind the whole thing.
There maybe many wholes in that argument. ;-) -
I had to check for myself on Google Maps
