    I see this on Labour's Facebook page

    Got something you'd like to ask new Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern?
    Well this evening (Aug 3) we're running our first live Facebook Q&A with Jacinda since she became Leader, and we'd love to have your questions! Just leave yours below and tune in at 6.30 pm tonight to hear Jacinda's answers...

    I do hope that David Parker is given his head in the new paradigm, and a chance to flex his nous and commitment.

    some kind of west Auckland ouroboros

    Ouroboros also known as the serpent Jörmungandr - is a major player in Ragnarok (the Norse myth rather than Taika's movie - though hopefully Jörmungandr and Thor have their big battle in the film)...

    Peter George is running the idea that it was all too smooth, and there was skulduggery in the background.

    Building on the foundations of Hosking's 'shenanigans' meme - I guess they can't divorce other people's actions from their own world view and processes.

    Steven Joyce sounded not so confident, and full of bluster, this morning on the radio.
    Not sure he has the chops to change on the fly... so he'll probably revert to attack dog mode.

    pragmatic democracy is where we are.

    Time to get what needs doing done.

    Just rip that National Band Aid of in one vote
    and let the sunlight stream in...
    The healing has begun!

    FFS, 7 Sharp last night was purely and simply a party political broadcast on behalf of the National Party.

    With a whiff of desperation on Hosking's part I thought (I too had the misfortune of catching parts of that jeremiad) - he's worried because he must know that his party is a flimsy tissue lacking substance and now it has an intergenerational fight on its hands.
    He even ended by promising "more on Labour's 'shenanigans' tomorrow"

    I wonder which meaning of shenanigans he cleaves to?
    'silly or high-spirited behaviour; mischief.'
    or
    'secret or dishonest activity or manoeuvering:'
    I know which one he has a propensity for.
    Odious oik!

    Hrrumph!

    search-friendly name

    I’ll have you know that was done with native wetware!
    (and a wet-wired ‘pattern recognition’ app that’s on all the time)
    :- )

    … English always has Shingle, and Leg Shin
    (General Leg Shin has a ring to it!)
    While Little has the ‘gaul’ to also show Le Tilt…
    politics is a bit like pinball!
    Bumpers, flippers and replays…

    I’ve also been wondering if NZ is ready for a Pun-Off
    http://www.punpunpun.com/

    maybe something Public Address could get behind?

    Nominative determinism?
    It must be noted that Ardern is an anagram of ran red!
