Rock on Guy!

I decided such drivel was only worth a flippant reply. You also need to get better standards for comedians (I presume), I've never heard of those people...

The question - what would she ride?

Aren't these the same concerns that were shouted down last year, when a CGT was touted as the obvious and urgent solution to house prices?

Guy Williams being described as a "comedian" is an overstatement. He's about as funny as a baby being run over by a steamroller.

My point exactly :-)

This would have been a much better use of the RNZAF Boeing with all that budgeted fuel and crew rather than toting that big tooth bint to some pointless gathering on some coconut island.

Perhaps she should have been a little more truthful in her disclosure to her travel insurance company.

But hey, don't let me stand in the way of your irrational anti-Jacinda rant.

The poor lady was never stable enough to be moved apparently, so it’s a moot point.

Unless the RNZAF were going to fly some more doctors there.

Yup. A show of utter incompetence by Liarbour.
The guy was well fucked around by these idiots. I must add it to the list of screw-ups by them, adding of course tonight's admittance that they are going back on another pre-election promise to withdraw all troops from Afganistan. That isn't happening now (surprise, surprise).

I see that the media have cottoned on to their ploy of releasing bad news on Friday, hoping that it gets forgotten by the public over the weekend.
