Hey Deb remember this horrible comment - "Homosexuals are intrinsically untrustworthy, as aside from anything else, they have their own brand of nepotism – and the general public tend to not like that." Probably didn't endear you to many people. Certainly ...
Sorry just saw this after I posted my comment below - yes that is what I was referring to! Extraordinary admission. Waiting for the MSM to pick up on it....
I don't normally sully myself by looking at the Blubbery Sea Creature's site but I had a look yesterday and saw a horrible post about Michelle Boag (much as I loathe the woman, it was pretty awful) in which the Blubbery Sea Creature appeared to admit that ...
I hope so. All we can do is take comfort from the fact that, even if the injunction is successful, this ain't going away any time soon.
Sorry, because I am doing this on my iPad, my comment is out of sync, but in reply to the query of his chances of obtaining the injunction - quite high unfortunately as he only has to show an arguable case. The stinger is usually the undertaking to meet ...
True, Tracey, but unlike Cheryl Gwyn, Judith Collins is not, and never was, held in very high regard by the legal profession!
You can all rest assured that Cheryl Gwyn is no 'hollow woman' and is definitely NOT aligned with the right. She is also widely regarded in the legal profession as someone incredibly talented and hardworking whose sense of independence and fairness has few...
I just googled 'Cameron slater mark hotchin' out of morbid interest. Back in 2011 when crown law/FMA froze hotchin's assets, whale oil ran a series of posts defending the guy... This is potentially huge.
When you read the email, it reads as if Cactus was a party to it. Eg 'Cathy can update separately....' There is a redacted name at the top. Put 2 and 2 together? Also, as Paddy Gower raised on the news tonight, who is the addressee 'mark?' Full inquiry ...

Philip, just wanted to say how much I love your contributions! They always make me smile into my morning coffee and are worth persevering through the "different" formatting! Cheers! [lprent: Since the amnesty, he has been a more circumspect about link-...
Yes as I've said, just my own experience and the experience of the dozens of others who have worked there. But I give up. You continue to be sucked in if you like. And those of us who have actually worked for her will continue to know the truth (and hope ...
How do you know I didn't? And, she didn't dismiss me. I walked. Like many many many others (do some research)
"and the judiciary circles" Wouldn't be so sure about that. Sorry. Not meaning to hijack the thread but you really need to talk to some people Clement. What you see on the TV is not always reality.
... hero-worshipping of her. [karol: Frida, see Lynn's decision above and...
What Jimbo said. Speaking from first hand experience.
You have GOT to be kidding me. You've clearly never worked for her.
Sorry, yep fair enough. I am interested in David's views on this and I see he has replied so thanks.
Thanks James, I'd like to hear this too. Has Labour actually come out to say they will repeal the travesty that is National Standards? For the sake of our kids, I hope so. [lprent: I'll let that through. But David Cunliffe's ideas are not Labour policy. ...
Thanks David, your message certainly resonates with me and I wish you all the best. I believe that you of the three are best equipped to take it to these clowns on the Treasury benches and I've already voted for you. Please please please, for the sake of ...
Hi all I was in Levin today. I'm a Cunliffe supporter from Raumati and I've voted for him already at the meeting. But I agree with TRP. He came third today. Hopefully he'll hit his straps over the next few days. Cheers
+1. Pretty tiresome, especially when it's the same old stuff every day and isn't even relevant to the post
What is happening in ChCh is New Orleans and disaster capitalism all over again. Parata is being played for a fool by her Friedman-loving fellow Nats and she has no clue. I said to myself at the time of the earthquakes Joyce, Key etc must be rubbing their ...
She's also well-known to be in the pocket of the Nats, has been appointed to roles left, right and centre since 2008. A good friend of Finlayson's and Power's apparently. I doubt there's much independence there.
Is there a link?
Exactly Felix. Labour will lose my vote, and that of many other women, if he pops up anywhere on the Labour list.
Agreed. No thanks.
A note to Insider who scoffed at my comment the other day that Key would have been briefed by GCSB under the 'no surprises' principle, well before he claims to have been briefed. A greater constitutional mind than either of us, my former boss and a former ...
Sounds like you have the poor understanding if you think 'no surprises' is fulfilled by a heads up from the SG the day before. I call b/s on that. And I perfectly understand separation of powers think you, probably in far more depth than you ever will. But...
Obviously never been a public servant eh Insider? You've never heard of 'no surprises' briefings? Hmmm, in my time as a Crown lawyer I recall both Key and Finalyson were obsessively hot on the principle. I refuse to believe it wouldn't have applied here.
