Setting up his own little PC melodramas with his trusty little flock of Skyryders (read devotees) playing their role to perfection.

Helen didn't invest our tax money in the ARTS for nothing, the actors are supporting mediocre Phil all the way!

The worst crime silly old Worth has committed is reacting to his heterosexual urges!

As a male, how dare he fancy the attentions of a female!

Key is looking better than I thought he would, I am warming to him as a leader on this so far!

Agreed. Key has acted very promptly to this matter - normally Worth would have been suspended, but nope - he's gone.

As for the other allegations regarding the texts, job offer etc, all very sleezy but no names, no affidavits, no evidence when it was first raised. It simply looked like a guy who had too much testosterone and thinks he's a ladies man.

No fool like an old fool.

As for Phil Goff, I've come to respect him over the years. However he's making more of this than is warranted, because he wants the publicity. Understandable but it seems a bit desperate.

She was instructing the driver to break the speed limit and what is totally reprehensible is she felt no moral obligation to carry the can for it. What a bitch.

you should extract your head from the cave or dark smelly place its in and read the book. tripe it aint.

Nah. This is a police investigation, nothing to do with his conduct as a minister - comment should be left until the outcome is known.

hilarious! if he'd been labour you'd have been at the front of the friggin bandwagon

har fukkin har, wodda joke

Well I am just quoting from National radio news... and the odd thing is that Liarbour party doesnt appear with the usual red line under it denoting a misspelt word, that could only mean one thing

My computer has turned, and is using the force for evil

Where is the evidence for the above. As I recall cabinet discussed havingt a whip round for those convicted.

As I a have already mentioned in other posts the drivers eventually got off.

Move on on this. I have.

Bottomline on Worth is that this is a Key and Nat's mess not Labour's or Goff's.

Any other interpretation............ I can only conclude is that you see no wrong in what Worth has done............acted in a manner unbecoming a Govt Minister.............as he did with his trip to India in which Key did not act when he should have. Key is undecisive under pressure and this is one of his weaknesses

Try not to nest your replies inside my quotes - it's a real fuckin pain. I'm not going to read Hagar's lefty crank spin, and I'm not going to read Wishart's righty crank spin. It's a waste of my time.

Damn right I'd have been at the front of the queue calling for a police investigation, but under the previous regime it was always an internal investigation with tight-as terms of reference timed to report versus a major news event in six months time...and if it did get as far as the police "a prima facie case, not in the public interest to pursue".

If you're looking for a joke, there it is.

Truism: If you want to know what the left are doing, look at what they're accusing their opponents of...

I don't see this as a major news worthy issue to be honest...takes 2 to tango

Yet if he was any more decisive he would be called dictatorial

Perhaps he was engaging in Autoerotica...

Yeah, and Goof's been sitting on this waiting for the right time to get some political mileage. JK's cauterised it nicely..."oh noes! He waited a week!" Goof's known about the allegations since before Christmas!

Random impertinent questions:
1) How did Worth get the phone number of the liarbour woman in the first place?
2) Why did she allow it to go on for so long, if not to build up a dossier to use against Worth at a later date?
3) What was her husband doing for three months?

How about a female perspective - Cactus Kate

I think you'll find JK sacked Worth, not for what he may or may not have done with/to either of these women, but because he lied or hid stuff from Key...I think he was probably on a final warning after the India trip stuff.

Q: How many Richard Worths does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None, Richard Worth only screws in ministerial limos...
