There is absolutely nothing to worry about if the Fast-track Approvals Bill gets passed into law and Shane Jones gets extraordinary powers to decide on consent applications which normally would be subject to enormous rigour and oversight.

I mean he would not be that brazen that he would make sure that one of NZ First’s major donors was sent an invitation to submit an application would he? It would be an especially bad look if he was related to this donor.

And he would not be so stupid as to discuss a prosecution of this very same donor with Waka Kotahi or try to put him on Waka Kotahi’s board.

And how does National feel about all of this? Surely Chris Bishop realises there is a problem? And why is he not insisting that Matua Shane is sacked as Minister?

After all surely Matua Shane is careful to make sure that everything that he says is correct?

Aotearoa New Zealand there is nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here. Just close your sleepy eyes and everything will be fine.

    The trucking company's operating methods, as described in the High Court in 2019, don't inspire confidence about safety for other road users: http://www.nzlii.org/cgi-bin/sinodisp/nz/cases/NZHC/2019/1133.html?query=semenoff

    People can be assessed sometimes by the company they keep…need I link to all of Semenoff’s various arrogant law ignoring behaviour?…housing Filipino workers in containers, illegal rubbish fires on commercial premises, actively avoiding transport safety regulations…

      " …. and at more than 70-years-old, at the end of a busy week, he was prone to saying things which he would later regret."

      So being elderly excuses everything, does it? Must remember to invoke that principle when the time comes.

    I used to hate doing Shakespeare at school, partly because I kept being given the girls parts but also I saw it as an irrelevance in an already complex world

    I'm sure I'll never get over being Portia et al, but it's becoming more normal, the more I learn of dirty politics…

    IAGO

    I'll send her to you presently;

    36. presently: right away.
    37 And I'll devise a mean to draw the Moor
    38 Out of the way, that your converse and business
    39 May be more free.

    CASSIO
    I humbly thank you for't.

    Exit [Iago].
