    Stuff’s stuffed (Ede) story

    Key said this morning he understood Ede had resigned, but that he had not suggested he Ede so.

    "[Ede] decided the time has come for him to leave," Key said on TV3's Firstline.
    ...
    "Jason Ede advised of his resignation, effective immediately, on Friday. Along with the Prime Minister and his office, we thank Jason for his 11 years of service to the National Party and wish him well for his future."
    The party would not be making any further comment.

    A modicum of personal collateral damage aside,

    Australians have been warned that their freedoms might have to be restricted for the sake of national security, as the government prepares to introduce counter-terrorism laws to crack down on Australians fighting for militant or terrorist groups.

    I wonder if a tress-passer
    could turn a datalock
    into a comb over?
