It may be fun to hear a Minister insulting Gerry Brownlee, patronising the Greens, or Winston Peters exercising his wit, but it certainly isn't informative. When the Government refuses to answer a question, it is an insult to the public they are accountable to. Frog – would you consider putting a copy up on WikiLeaks?

the wonderfully funny nick smithisms..

(this from yesterday..)

�..can the member..being so elicit..�.

the way tau henare has perfected/’named ‘the henare-lean’..

..whereby he goes into yogic contortions to get into someone/anyone elses camera-shot..

(that he sits in the back row shows the efforts he has made to earn this naming-honour..)

and then there are the zombie-impersonations of/by rodney hide..

(fascinating in a train-wreck sorta way..)

and the eye-clawing boredom induced by the mumblings of clayton cosgrove..

(as one of many..both smiths are good at this..)

the (startling) duck-calling booms of shane jones..?

i could go on and on..
