Let's move on.
Bill English agrees. From that Herald story Russell linked to:
Mr English showed signs of frustration yesterday.
"After four days of discussing this issue there are bigger things going on in the country like a recession, like thousands of people joining the dole and I think it is time that ministers like myself were focused on those issues."
Nothing to see here.

Stunning. It even has the requisite tinned pineapple.

Grigg esquire, punk detective.

No free passes here. Rorting is wrong, no matter who is doing it. Some senior Nats have short memories on that score, but no doubt the behaviour has also applied in varying degrees to others when in power.
Perhaps it was even inspired by the creative way the Greens coordinated accommodation entitlements some years back as a revenue generator for their cash-strapped party? You can just imagine other pollies thinking they could try something similar.
However we are all aware of a certain colleague of Collins in the news recently, wilfully breaching privacy for political purposes - and it wasn't Goff now, was it.

So versatile.

The "it's ok we're doing bad stuff because they did it too" talking point is getting a right workout over the last few weeks, innit.

Can't imagine it on TV1's news, that's fer sure.

And quite a brave choice in a 6 o'clock news show given our local lack of legal protection for those taking the piss. I guess they're pretty confident in their story.

English hoped he'd earn our sympathy as a caring father, that's transparently clear.
Talking point? Housing Minister Phil Heatley has his own prairie moment on tv3 news:
"It's important for me to keep my little family together with me in Wellington"
Them family values fair overfloweth.
Judith Collins is another who we are paying to rent her Welli apartment to a fellow National MP - whose name she refuses to reveal. And why is that?
"I'm not going to breach other people's privacy"
Seriously. Said with a straight face - see the accompanying clip.

Would you like a cup of chino with that, sir?
