    I'm patiently waiting for the press release that outlines all the things she achieved on the trip

Winston is the real head of this Government, just as he knew when he chose to go with inexperienced Labour.
    You make a good point mate.

    Someone in parliament called it as they saw it a while back and got themselves in trouble with the speaker.
    A silly little girl.

    Open Government...surely she's got to go ! Really they've never had a mandate to govern. I am hopeful one day someone will end this excruciating fiasco and call a snap election.

    Why would you get in trouble in parliament for stating a fact?

    I don't know. Maybe form another working group to look into it.

    Of course you wont. And telling the truth is the absolute simplest thing to do. It takes quite a clever person to remember the lies which eventually turn into a complicated web of mistruths. Curran did well having Mallard as speaker batting for her - he was showing his colours. But to be fair, I guess any decent person would have tried to do something with what was essentially a train wreck unraveling. Kudos to Melissa Lee who stayed calmly on point.

    I'm loath to go on record with this - but I too am somewhat glad Winston Peters is keeping this loony lot under some degree of control.

    Just as they didn't need to fund Si. to the tune of $114000 to go tripping around the country to shake the hand of his doubting supporters.
    The PM is doing her job. Si. is trying and failing to hang on to his.

    The marginal cost was used to justify Jacinda's trip which was not the case of Bridges tour.

    Can't watch Question time from where I am but the Hansard shows her answer to Melissa Lee's question was quite clear : "To the best of my recollection, um, ah, ah, I haven't, um, I haven't used my, um I've answered um OIA, ah, ah, OIA responses and personal, um and parliamentary questions correctly and to the best of my recollection, um, ah, you know, that, that has, that's what I've done."
