Looking down at you from my ivory tower. I was once a political hack, but I'm normal now.

If this happened under Labour, ACT and NZ First will already have their talking points from the Royal Commission drafted.

Thanks to this incident, I dont currently have a road worthy car. Although I will point out that said car does have a tank full of petrol.

Ex Chatham Islands Council chief executive Paul Eagle apologises as audit exposes 'excessive' spending The former Chatham council CEO edited quotes and contracts in a $250,000 project to upgrade his own accommodation, in what an inquiry says was "exceptionally poor judgement".

You'd have to ask questions about why he was hired to a role he was wholly unqualified for.

You get an Audi on your fourth marriage.

Because you're clearly an arsehole.

Also because of the four rings.

In this time of crisis, decisive leadership is writing a letter.

NZ First calls for Covid-19 inquiry focused on vaccine injuries That comes after the second phase of the Royal Commission of Inquiry released its findings on Tuesday.

Of course they are.

No wonder Mike Lee backed Kerrin Leoni for Mayor - Wayne Brown is having none of his bullshit.

Another Auckland Council meeting, another long, loud howl over housing in Parnell After the marathon meeting finally ended, the mayor accused one councillor of using it as 'one long filibuster to keep poor people out of her area'.

"Waitematā’s Mike Lee voted against the motion, but later clarified he was for it."

Lee is clearly not up to the job, he should have retired several terms ago.

Key spoke with Luxon over weekend amid leadership speculation The former Prime Minister has previously said he largely listens during their calls.

When Sir John is involved its always a good sign of solid leadership.

In fact, in the unlikely event that National has an overhang (they get more electorate seats than they're entitled to under MMP) then it would be tactically better for the right for Epsom to not vote for Seymour, and back Goldsmith instead.

The cruel irony of Epsom - for years, National voters have stepped into line and voted for the ACT candidate to keep them in Parliament.

ACT is now polling well above the 5% mark, so doesn't need the seat.

OTOH National might not get enough list spots for Paul Goldsmith to return this year.

You're in a marginal seat, and you're out doorknocking in the one part of your electorate that is moving into another electorate.

I reckon he found out afterwards that he was outside the new boundaries.
