. . . let's hope that Key chap has the cojones to stick to the promises that sucked the gullible Kiwis in and keep Douglas away from any influence.
Speaking of which, has Douglas bet his left testicle yet that he'll be given a bauble befitting his sense of self-importance? The resemblance to a rather grumpier version of Bob the Builder is spooky.

Joe - agreed!
And can someone please explain to me why Rodney Hide is orange??? It's deeply disturbing and puts me off my dinner.

An excellent question. I also find myself quite hypnotized by Rodney's new complexion.
My personal theory is that he's trying to cash in on the 'Obama effect' as identified by Silvio Berlusconi: "... young, handsome and even tanned..."
Obviously the tan is the most easily-achievable Obama ingredient as far as Rodney is concerned.

You had to stab me right in the kidneys, didn't you?

See Having your kiwi and eating it too, a 2004 speech by then ACT MP Gerry Eckhoff:
mmmm kiwi burgers,
so tender. -
LOL.

He went swimming across the Harbour on Sunday and knew of the photo op . I am still laughing out loud David, you often help my day along :)))

Also laughing. Thanks, David. I'm sure you're right. That's definitely it. I particularly like the orange glow when he's wearing the mustard jacket. I can read a book in the resulting light thrown out from the TV. It's positively radioactive.

Classic mate. Wasn't something like this the plot of "Fierce Creatures", the sequel to "A Fish Called Wanda"? The billionaire buying the zoos was even a NZer! Although I'm sure they were actually piss-taking Rupert Murdoch or Kerry Packer. Perhaps any animals that have to actually be shot could be dispatched by the Minister himself as a photo-op warning for the other Ministries?
Zoos and Corrections could easily be merged, since both require caging dangerous animals. It would also allow people to easily come and poke fun at prisoners, to read about their crimes on a little plaque, and to watch them at feeding time quarreling with one another. Easy money!
