Joshuatree. On reflection you may want to remove the first sentence from your post.
Please give it some thought.

Wouldn't a psychiatrist have a great time perusing these threads!

So why is he lying? Whats he up to that he cant be honest about. Take the squeeze throw in any way you want, seriously or not up to you.. You're fine about him constantly throwing dirt and insinuation around about the Govt though in a trumpian style, you know say it enough and it must be true. At this point in time when we can get out of this , early or fail.Divided doesnt support a quicker resolution to covid 19. If he waited until this crises was all but dealt to, but no ,he cant and his sniping away reveals all he cares about and its not NZ. But hey thats just politics ehh.
I think you need to widen your perspective just a tad there JT. Bridges is between a rock and a hard place here. He needs to scrutinise the government in his position of Committee Chair but also doesn't want to be seen to be undermining the government in a time of crisis. We saw this in his measured and restrained comments on David Clark, and even went as far as to acknowledge they didn't grill him when they had the opportunity. Bridges said he understood Ardern's reasoning for leaving Clark in place in the interim.
Your tawdry earlier comments don't reflect well on you. As to Bridges' internet connection...imagine the cockup of trying to chair the Committee hearings with a time lag or intermittent freezes. Much better to go to parliament where you would assume they have one of the best connections in the country.
I think the Cartoon in todays herald says it all
MP's testing the lockdown
Clark "Im an idiot I didnt stay in my bubble"
Bridges" Im an important idiot ive got two bubbles"
And he skirted the direct questions this morning about his internet connection, fibre btw, so lying is ok because he is an important person ehh.
But it became clear to me that its the press gallery based in Welly that is his main reason for driving 1,000km away from family reguarly, theres his squeeze.
Given the gravity of the situations and the supposedly vital positions that both Clark and Bridges are supposed to be fulfilling, I'm surprised that both don't base themselves full-time in Wellington, where the action is and where decisions are being taken, for the duration. I'm reckon that if it was for a junket somewhere there'd be no problem in taking leave of family and electorate for 4 weeks.
This letter to the NZ herald today says it all
Pressing business
On radio on Wed morning, Simon Bridge's answers to questions about the necessity and legality of his travel between Tauranga and Wellington revealed his innate insecurity and arrogance.
He excused his inability to work from home like the rest of the country on the inadequacy of his Tauranga internet connection and his need to be "at Parliament"-presumably to feel in charge.
His several references to the presence of the Press Gallery" may reflect his unacknowledged suspicion that his image is their creation, while his sweeping claim that there is "nothing in the Statute books" to say the Leader of the Opposition cannot travel, suggests that he feels this title gives him the freedom to do as he pleases.
