    I know nothing about Bowers but presume he's also mentally ill; if that's the case calling him monster should be reconsidered.

    I'm in full support of Mark Taslov's comments. The logical confusion of those who say we have promoted Brash by opposing him reminds me of the logic of those appeasing Hitler (yes I know, Godwin's Rule).

    I agree that Paddy Gower was discombobulated. This doesn't surprise me because he describes himself as an entertainer who doesn't have enough time to find the truth like a real journalist. http://pantograph-punch.com/asking-the-right-questions-patrick-gower/

    My experience of the tenancy tribunal was shocking. It was pro-landlord to a disgusting degree. They acknowledged an agent had lied and left me out of pocket, dismissed my case. When I appealed, guess who heard the appeal? The same guy who made the original decision. These people are a joke.

    Facebook, being what it is, I couldn't find your thread.

    And I found out this yesterday. Whois search of NZDSN finds the charity Spectrum Care (they run Homes of Choice). A quick glance at the compulsory Related Parties disclosures of Spectrum Care accounts on the Charities website shows their 7 General Mangers get paid an average of $165,525 per year. My guess is that the top bod would get more. Some Trustees also have cross memberships on different charities. I didn't find out their fees.

    Serious question, are they yet another bloated "philanthropy" organisation in the disability sector? Given what we've learned about Plunket in the last couple of days, this needs examining.

    You misunderstand MMP. Winston merely gets media attention and this silly line that he holds "balance of power" because he doesn't announce intentions until after everyone else. Greens also have "balance of power" if you want to run that line.
