The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Taking DPF's advice, I aim to do this in under 30 minutes.

Tory hack writes:
The Sunday Star-Times best efforts to re-elect the Government continue. They try a double header today.


Socialist hack writes:
Tracey Watkins is said by some of her colleagues to be spending an ‘unseemly’ about of time hanging out in John Key’s office, she’s certainly spent enough time at National HQ recently to get similar with the wall hangings. So, it’s fairly safe to say we know where her loyalties lie, and it’s not with journalistic independence.


Baby hack hopes partisan communication specialists who engage in tit-for-tat games on the interwebs recognise irony.

The Whinebox Inquiry

It's finally happened - Tracy Watkins of the Dompo's reported that Winston's up before Parliament's privileges committee.

Admittedly it's only the ongoing Owen Glenn donation that wasn't but actually was, and not the latest debacle with Bob Jones' money (that's a doozey), but it isn't often that Winnie has to account for his dealings.

I love the direct/indirect quote from the Speaker Margaret Wilson:
She told Parliament Mr Peters had provided her with a "very full and compelling"explanation of his position, but she had referred to the privileges committee because of the "high public interest and the impolications for the reputation of members and the institution of Parliament".
Here's hoping for some compelling drama to come. Regardless, it'll be prime pickings for Dim.
