I won't be expecting my rego fees to decrease sadly.

Are you still paying rego?

About as much difference as going from Labour to National ... sweet fuck all!

Shoulda chucked him out of parliament altogether and cut off his supply of oxygen at the same time!

From the opening paragraph:

...so I turn to the numbers when there’s an argument raging and the different sides are all wound up.
If we want to have a healthy, constructive debate, we need to have our facts straight, otherwise it’s just a noisy
waste of everyone’s time...

All I really need to make my day will be to hear that he has developed rectal cancer.

P.S. Those spells really do work - who'd have thunk it?

There is more than one person behind the injustice corruption and lies that emanate from the beehive, however, Nick smith will always be the ugly face of anti-motorcycling policies for me.

He stood and looked us in the eyes and lied, he sold the nation and the media fabricated statistics and propaganda about us and now he has been caught using his powers as a government minister inappropriately.

He is an ugly corrupt mother fucking shirt lifting lying son of a bitch bastard and I have no sympathy for his predicament whatsoever.

I don't think we've seen the end of tricky Nicky though, He'll be back, bad pennies and bad news always come back.

he has only resigned his portfolios, until there is a bi-election and he is no longer an MP, he hasn't gone. Also he now wants to government spending on an inquiry into his bad judgement, talk about cutting government spending - not

Shamed former Cabinet minister Nick Smith is calling for an inquiry to clear his name after falling on his sword over letters he wrote as a minister to help a close friend.

Just a note,in case you haven't already got the point, next time a politician makes an election promise to cut government spending remember they mean cutting services to you the tax payer, not spending on themselves.
