No, I didn't do that deliberately..

Admirably quick response, but you might want to do some proofreading, David, to maintian your usual standards.

If it is unpaid then only the rich can afford to do it. Is that really what we want?

Didn't it used to be a Deputy Principal's salary - back when that was a role held in unifoirmly high esteem?

In the same way that you might save someone a broken nose by kicking them in the nuts instead.
And a chortle all the way from page one.

Mikaere and his dad wrote me my whaikorero for this year's Foo Camp, and I loved speaking the greeting part.
Still sad I missed that part (despite my best Shapeshifter-inspired driving efforts).
However, I was thoroughly delighted last week when a colleague used the non-christian karakia raised here last year. Mentioned to a few folk around me which winds it referred to. Thought of Islander and all.

Good on Heather Roy, Chris Finlayson and Peter Dunne for not renting out their Wellington houses and getting the rest of us to shout them another one.
Not that I want either families being split up or all our representatives living in Welli and further isolating them from the rest of the whenua.

Has anyone suggested whanau?
Seems relevant. -
Oh look another thread about this hath sprung up while I were away.

Yes, the way Misa has included the Maori identity stuff seems debatable - hardly unusual for someone of Bennett's generation to only get into that later in life. I only included that sentence because it had her name in it.
Misa's broader point stands - that Bennett has traded on a carefully crafted story about being a battler from humble beginnings when that's simply not true. Much like John Key whose wider family had wealthy origins (and the associated social capital) before the well-publicised state house phase of his own life which I don't doubt was tough.
Those who have acclaimed Bennett for her courageous actions in publishing beneficiaries' incomes without consent to introduce "balance" into the debate about her cutting of the TIA can hardly complain when someone else does the same with public details about the Minister's life.
