    Well yes, Clare Curran looked and answered pretty sheepish, didn't she? On the other hand Melissa Lee was doing an outstanding job - if we stay with your analogy like a well trained farm dog. The speaker again appeared to be quite out of his league ... and shouldn't he be impartial? But hey - Labour, what more can you say.

    Haven't seen a pack, though - and come on, JT - nobody needs a pack of dogs to get this sheep down. The way she performed I would be concerned she falls over just moving from one paddock to the next : But maybe Labour sheep don't normally have to perform such difficult tasks. Maybe they are normally just standing at the trough and listening to farmer Winston and his wife Cindy?

    Keeping with the analogy she was drafted by a shepherd who failed School C into a yard that got missed a shearing time. So left to her own devices she ended up woooly headed, eventually falling cast in the middle of a paddock. With only a duck left protecting her

    In the interests of balance, National does have some problems though. With Clare Curran about to leave who do they drill down on next. Wally Haumaha with two complaints against him. Or is it Meka Whaitiri and her alleged bullying / Assault. Or is it the silence around their sex camp alcohol supplier or is is it the suggested appointment of Derek Handley. I don't know how you would choose. Thats without the gap in the police ministers dairy that we will find out about next week.

    Yes did look like a rottweiler attacking a spaniel.

    Is that the same as 'waka jumping'? Not sure they're allowed to do that any more.

    Now she is a back bencher having resigned her last remaining portfolios. Weak leadership form Jacinda!

    She certainly proved to be the perfect replacement for David Benson Pope.

    She was given a fair go , a few chances to get her greenhorn skills up to speed but obviously just isn't up to being a Minister. May be a very good policy person but def does not have the skillset to be front person.Fair enough.
