Labour / NZ First Government

Umm I think wee Neve might be evidence of the relationship being consummated. No need to check the bedsheets as in the olden days.

Not sure about that. I think the marriage contract is sealed by 'the act' regardless of prior behaviour. But I'm not claiming expertise in the matter. Anyway, why spoil a potentially interesting TV program. They need the ratings.

Minister of Health doing a good job.

I'm not so sure. I think the new Dunedin hospital is highly likely to be the next Kiwibuild.
He certainly hasn't done himself any favours appointing another dead-loss ex Labour MP to chair the project.
There is massive potential for complete disaster in this one - starting with their chosen site.

..... speaking of names I can't recall is there anybody in New Zealand who knows the name of the deputy leader of New Zealand first?

I can understand the knowledge gap. Some might say the deputy leader is Fletcher Tabuteau but everyone really knows Mr Peters covers all roles in the party.

A lot may say Shane Jones as he is the one you see/hear all the time - apart from its leader

Paddy Power a bit mean with their 4/7 on Labour to win election.

But as they are pretty certain to win (as National will lose) suppose 4/7 not too bad.

Better than WINX.AU

Where’s best place to go to bet on these things

I certainly hope they get another term. Fantastic entertainment, particularly from Lee's Galloway, Twyford, and a few others whose names I can't recall. speaking of names I can't recall is there anybody in New Zealand who knows the name of the deputy leader of New Zealand first?

Correct. Thank-you for that. I am disappointed with myself. Also I missed a comma after 'speaking of names'. I should stick to my computer for these postings - large fingers and phones with small screens and tiny virtual keyboards are not a good combination. Incidentally, your last sentence, being a rhetorical question, should conclude with a question mark or exclamation mark. But then, who am I to comment!

No, grammar and punctuation don't matter these days?

"Let's eat, grandma." or is it "Let's eat grandma." ?

No need for capitals or punctuation and you can shorten words

‘lets ear gran’ is sufficient
