Clare is likely still trying to figure out where the "delete" key is on her keyboard.
    No wonder - the truth comes out in the end. This process was all a bit "star wars" for poor old Clare. Shes obviously living in a galaxy so far far away from here and was totally clueless on what happens pon PLanet Earth.

    Edit - the less said about the PM's response in Parliament to questions the better - we don't want to spoil her image now massaged with photos a Darling Baby Neve. Patently obvious "the most open and transparent government" is hypocrisy at its best.

    That "image" will be overshadowed if and when the Dotard and Rocketman appear on the stage.

    Re Kiwibuild - anything that involves a lottery creates winners and losers and can't be taken seriously. It would be better to spend taxpayer money elsewhere.

    Re TWG. Too many conditions were put on it to placate vested interests so that some issues will only be tackled half-heartedly. Will half-hearted reforms end up making things worse?

    "Derek Handley might be a goose, but no one deserves to be treated the way he was. One thing is clear, he is not happy and decided to rain on Cindy’s parade. Instead of gushy news article,s she is now being hounded about her truthiness.

    But with all these emails and texts being dumped… we should now call Derek Handley “RawSnark”.

    The rough sequence of events looks something like this:

    Derek Handley tells his mate Jacinda Ardern he wants the position.
    Ardern sends Handley her private email address for further “private” discussion.
    Government cancels first recruitment round under direction of Ardern who has found the candidate she wants.
    Handley is given a clear and easy run for the job.
    Handley gets offered the job and accepts verbally.
    Curran busted by the MSM for her part in the process, including the secret meetings and communications.
    Ardern covers for Curran and goes soft on her, only partially sacking her. In return, Curran keeps Ardern’s part in the whole mess a secret.
    Curran eventually becomes the sacrificial lamb and resigns after she has little other option.
    Ardern lies in parliament about her dealings with Handley."

    More than other PMs we seem to be inundated with pictures of the PM's family - from the first hipster dude to the first baby. Mind you, Max Key rode the publicity wave too. Perhaps it's just the Americanisation of the PM role as the ageing Sovereign becomes a more remote feature in our constitution.

    Not a mate of his at all. Just good source of news and facts without left wing spin.

    Just look at the txt / email trail. The truth is revealed. She should be back in NZ in time to face more questions in the House. Unless her staff mangle her diary again.

    Seems like Cindy is the lowlife if the texts/email thread are to be believed JT.
