sorry..imho..this tacky little deal being stiched up by all the political parties to cover their over-spending.(of our money)…

does far more damage to all politicians and parliament…

it totally reeks of all the worst accusations made about politicians..

and could someone tell us why the greens decided to get down in the sewer with the others..?

I’m not sure why maintaining Parliament’s reputation is important in and of itself. Field remaining in Parliament is doing far more damage than any enquiry could.

Guys and Gals, I got to go with Phil U here. A censure just doesn’t cut the mustard. (And I believe he has voted Greens the last few elections too).

Don’t follow me? Well, why not suggest Jeanette put forward motions of censure for Labour failing to protect the environment, failing to instigate sustainable policies and failure to look after NZ’s less well off, and failure to sort out the Health crisis?

Yes indeed, why settle for one motion of censure when you can devastate Labour by forcing an apology for 5 key issues? On that basis, I’d have to say the Green Party’s job is over, and they can all retire.

Or the Greens could consider holding out for something a little more appropriate than a slap near the wrist with a wet bus ticket? Just saying is all…

Stuey, if you don’t like some-one’s opinion, say so. But to accuse the person of being an ACT voter who is deliberately lying on this blog, and then use that assumption to decide it’s OK to go and lie yourself is not, in my opinion, a good way to go.

At the very least, if we accept your thesis that fundude is a liar (and I have to say, I’m taking fundude at his word until I get better information), then why not a disgruntled National voter? Because he saw Richard Prebble on TV? Scary.

Let’s look at the clues. He referred to Rod’s death as “sad”. That indicates feeling. do you really think those evil ACT voters that you dream of each night would have inserted the word “sad”? If they were that cunning, do you really think they would have achieved only 1.8% of the vote?? Nope, I’m thinking Fundude might be telling the truth and you need a nice cup of tea and a lie down, before you charge off to the ACT blog and figuratively shoot some-one.

and what do you think the Greens should have done fundy? Allow a pointless select committee inquiry that would have acheived nothing but ongoing newspaper headlines that would have continued to damage the reputation of Parliament? Or support a motion of censure that would have indicated that there Parliament has ethics and principles which MPs should uphold?

Are you sure that your opinion of the Greens actions has not been formed more from the negative media coverage rather than the facts. Have you actually read frogs explanation or the Greens PRs on this issue? If you have and you still feel that this was so unethical that it is worthy of withdrawing support then I have to ask…

What proof do we have that you are truely a Green supporter and not an ACT staffer who is trying to introduce negative elements into our blog? I must remember to use that line next time I comment on ACT’s site, I have voted ACT at the last few elections but I will never do so again, blah blah blah.

I have voted Greens the last few elections and love what it stands for.
But the move to block the Field inquiry has cost all votes from this household. Goodness knows who we will vote for now but we have to protest. As Richard Prebble said on TVONE”s Agenda, this would never happened under Rod Donald and the party is drifting badly with bad decisions since his sad death.

Should make a plead for the real of crown of England to come back and declare martial law. These pricks just please themselves.

Yes I do Stuey, it is typical spin more than likely written with with the full approval of the Labour party.

One other thing Stuey, why do you people not allow free speech?
