Minister right to give public all the facts
GAH!
You know, I think our side is probably in the minority on this issue. Which makes me sad. And kinda stabby.

Geez, what was remotely nasty about that?
Sacha, you should know the drill by now - when your side looks dodgy, distract with a shiny thing. In this case it's the old standby: 'both leftwing and rightwing commentariat are equally horrid in a crisis'.
Except they're not, and you weren't, and c'mon, Craig, surely you agree deep down that Bennett's actions were really bad.

BUT thinking we know everything and the rest of the world is inferior or owes us a living and not being curious about other cultures is really boring and bigoted, imho.
So do we have an inferiority complex or a superiority complex? (It's not that I disagree with your main point, but you can be happy living in NZ without thinking those things or acting that way. Also: having lived in the USA, I find it hard to rustle up indignation about NZ's insularity, because... yeah. We don't even know what insularity is in comparison.)

Truthiness...
She is our very own Sarah Palin.
OMG. I just said this in the other thread. I wasn't ripping you off, I swear!

It's our very own Sarah Palin! (I hasten to add that the comparison is not based on gender, but rather the insistence on down-home folksiness, particularly to disguise ethics and power abuse problems.)

I think Bennett's actions have the potential to do to Key what David Benson-Pope did to Clark.
On the other hand, Your Views is filled with drooling idiots braying 'good on her!' Beneficiaries? Fair game, apparently.

I was rather touched to hear about how people from Southland towns like Lumsden might be helped by the route from Queenstown to Invercargill. My grandfather grew up in Dipton, but since the removal of the railway it's like a little ghost town. We only ever stopped there to take photos of his childhood house, but perhaps a wee cafe might give it... something. I dunno.

One knife between his teeth. Aaarrh!
Silly me! Of course.
