    Getting out before liarbour gets any more stupid. At least he openly despises the Lunatic Fringe party of retarded sandal-wearers, rather than the sycophantic approach of the other labourites,
    As a "retarded sandal wearer" I resemble that comment.

    the point is that without some realistic alternative, we get more of Key and his lumpy minions. Not saying Liarbour would be better (they weren't) but at least the trains ran on time.

    Blessed are the retarded sandal wearers.....

    Good to see he's got the job he really wanted, namely to continue helping his fishing mates rape the Pacific.

    Its a very good play politically. If you look at Liarbour the three contenders were Shano, Silent, and Grant Robertson. Shano has good pull with the natives, Silent - well who knows what he is about -, and Grant has the rainbow Liarbour and the unions. Liarbour's internal factions, which were clamped tighter than Helen Clarke's vajayjay during her tenure, are now fairly openly at war. Shano has been offered a carrot by Key's lumpy minions, which takes a lot of the credibility he might have had on native affairs, and business (plus the quickest wit in Parliament) and so those voters go "Meh may as well stick with Nazional". They were never going to go for the union or gay contingent.

    The only actual, credible opposition (which is fairly important in a Westminster parliament, IIRC) is the Greens, Mr Rusty and his lovely Maori wife, and my favourite pollie of all, Winston Peters.

    Election year much?

    Might'nt be much of an election at all at this rate......the natzis could have the majority required by themselves.

    the only hope on the left is if the left actually goes hard left & uses the National Socialist card....with Winnie.

    And he was being supprted by the Nats - that must say something about him..........

    Another angle to the Shane Jones resignation:
    Mr Jones said he would leave Parliament next month after he was shoulder tapped by Foreign Minister Murray McCully for a new role as a roving economic ambassador across the Pacific.
    This is of course a total violation of public service values, and an unlawful exercise of Ministerial power.

    For more than a hundred years, New Zealand has had a professional, politically neutral public service. In 1912 the Public Service Act removed Ministers from the appointment process, ending their ability to treat the public service as a means of rewarding their cronies. That ideal is given modern form in section 33 of the State Sector Act, which requires Chief Executives to act independently in employment matters, including appointments, promotions, demotions, transfers, disciplinary proceedings, or sackings. Chief Executives are explicitly not responsible to Ministers for these decisions. Ministers "shoulder tapping" preferred candidates for public service roles is precisely what the law is supposed to prevent. Instead, it looks like we're back to Seddon and his infamous "learn him".

    Just a few years ago, both a Minister and a Chief Executive were forced to resign over unlawful interference in employment matters (the former by demanding that someone be sacked, the latter for obeying, then bowing to the "suggestion" of the next Minister to employ a crony). That lesson appears not to have been learned. Clearly we need to put some more heads on spikes, until Ministers and Chief Executives start obeying the law.
