    Yep. Twyford. Minister of magic just waved his wand and bingo! Sorted.

    Bit worried about our new government - shouldn't they first solve one crisis before they create the next one?

    What are we doing if people recognize that Labour can't solve health either? Invite the Russians to invade?

    Its always best to have at least a couple of crisis on the go at once. That way you multi-choice when it comes to providing distractions from other issues. For example if you want to increase taxes create a crisis to fill the news media with a more compelling crisis (children, health, education, homelessness are the go-to crisis creation options)

    Cunning - you mean they just want to distract the voters from increasing the petrol and Road user taxes to give comrade Shane Jones more money to waste and more ammunition to bully companies and the opposition (though I think latter was not Shane but one of his NZF colleagues on behalf of him, wasn't it)?

    Maybe the source of all evil spin doctors is now working for Labour/NZF? Niccolo Machiavelli - or was this CT?

    Alternatively you could just leave Clare Curran with a spade and let her keep digging a deeper and deeper hole. What was she thinking telling Richard Griffin (Chair of RNZ) he could just write a letter to the Select Committee and no need for him to turn up and face questions. And thats beside justifying why the Minister of Broadcasting needs to be at the Commonwealth GAmes. Probably a trick left off war veteran Ron Mark - lob the grenade and run like hell out of there.


    I suspect Currans might be the first head to roll in this new government.

    And now time for a wee break and a chance to play a game as Jacinda Lurches from one drama to another.

    Its simple really - just put these photos in a timeline. One before the election, one today and one in three months time.

    That's mean - you think she will wear such a bourgeois bow tie?
