They need more Paul Henry. I want to see Paul Henry on my TV while I eat breakfast, I want to hear him on my radio on the way to work and I want him on TV by 6pm when I turn on the news.

Its working for TVNZ!
Replace Paul Henry with Mike Hosking and we have a deal.



I want to see his smug face grinning down at me while I drink my morning coffee. I won't be happy until every person in the country has been surgically altered to look like Mike Hosking.

To deny him that as a paedophile would be denying our British cultural heritage.

When your statements are "here's exactly what I am going to do in power and why" then you don't loving do it you should be held accountable

No one gives a gently caress what you stand by because you're not the lying shitsack running this country.

"Does he stand by all his statements" is a standard primary question; if they're any more specific he's liable to transfer them to another Minister. The 7 years thing is new and I think valid if we're talking about broken election promises etc, but I'm guessing it's mostly designed to counter the "Labour did X", "Labour had 9 years to do X" excuses, which the Nats continue to use even in tyool 2015.

But the most interesting thing is that a) all questions are directed at Key and b) it shows opposition parties actually working together. It's also enough of a gimmick that it might actually make the 6:00 news :eyepop:

Basically if the primary question is about anything specific then he will fob it off on to the relevant minister. E.g if it is about a Kim Dotcom related this he will deflect it to Finlayson who will just shrug it off since he wasn't responsible for the GCSB at the time. By getting him to say he stands by his statements then on the supplementals they can try to nail him on a specific statement.

It gets really pathetic too:

quote:

Does she stand by the Prime Minister's statement that "I'd hate to see New Zealanders as tenants in their own country"; if so, how many applications by overseas investors to buy land were declined under the Overseas Investment Act 2005 between January 2012 and June 2015?

Did Gerry Brownlee really just say that Helen Clark answered questions from the opposition rather than shuffle them to the rest of her cabinet because she was more competent than her cabinet?

That's what I heard too. I first thought "incompetence". But "Head and shoulders in competence above anybody else."


edit: Jesus, Carter really gets me frustrated whenever I see almost anything from the House.
