   the obvious answer is (a). considering that the next most important question must be; is your national party membership up to date? and if not, why not? you ain’t going to get a job as a political reporter on any newspaper, or television news program if you aren’t affiliated to the nats…
   how many senior political journalists are actively working for keys gang now? it must be a substantial majority. some of them would do well to remember that there are only so many spaces on the party lists for loyal media employees. they have to have people who actually do stuff that is relevant as well.

     they(media owners) would be the same people working for the owners of the national party..? you might be on to something there.

       I would have thought that the media owners were part owners of the National Party (Ltd).

   Fat privileged MaoriParty M.P and Disabilities Minister shucks gorged kilos by paying top dollar for private stomach stapling thereby leading her people by example, once again. Still gorging tho because her dream beau John ‘ooh, I’d fuck her Veitchy’ Key, the PrimeMinister of N.Z hasn’t called her Pixie recently.
   we live in a twilight zone

   Heh!!

   Must have updated the test. The last one I saw had the multi-choice options:

   A: School girls faint in presence of John Key

   B: John Key sings a Christmas carol

   or

   C: John Key offers Prince William marriage advice

   Speaking of which, there was a report somewhere that John Key *might* be invited to the wedding. No doubt Crosby/Textor have already told John to get on the phone. God, can you imagine it!

   ring, ring . . . ring, ring . . .

   Hello, this is William

   Hey, Billy-boy, s’mee Junkie

Not a good look. Plus, who knows what the physicul ev’dence might’ve shown about safety and stuff. This government is about gun forward. Spikking of which, thus been ‘lectshun year ‘n all, have you sent out the wedding invites yet?
