Is he really trying to rehabilitate the concept of dictatorship? That is quite priceless.

I really can't imagine who would want to do such a thing though...
We had a drongo of the party hierarchy here just two weeks ago finishing each comment with "Rodney Hide delendus est", so I presume that when you say that you can't imagine who would do such a thing it is because the potential backstabbers are so many that it's hard to choose, yeah?

That's an entirely reasonable point, Sacha.

Like all the best pieces of journalism, this one opens more question than it gives answers to.

The poor old Greens were in the same boat where if they did not vote for it, it would have been a bad look in Chch.
And yet somehow I'm not moved by their plight.

I can't look at that crazily constructed sentence without laughing. Tears of mirth are actually coursing down my cheeks.

I also like:
"Twenty-six years ago while living a very different life"
Could somebody please ask the honourable member if "living a different life" can be used to reset one's strikes clock?
And:
"The regret I feel at the hurt I unwittingly caused the family of the deceased child is something I carry with me today and will continue to carry for the rest of my life."
Unless he tripped or something, unwittingly doesn't mean what he thinks it means. I believe the correct word is "callously".

I know I'm late to the party, but the brawl in Tonga story contains one of the most awesome sentences in the history of print journalism and it would be a crime to let it go unnoticed:
"He was fined $10 for that incident, in which he had his jaw broken in two places after being hit from behind by a top psychiatrist."

(Google Danyl McLachlan, David Haywood and Graham Reid for excellent contemporary examples.)
I see what you did there: you wouldn't Google Lyndon Hood because you've bookmarked him long ago. Well played.

can I interest you in Christchurch's Desolation Roe ?
I heard that if you dig a tunnel from Desolation Roe to the other side of the earth you come out in Paris, right in the middle of Rue de Day.
