A GREAT DAY

Barry Matthews head of Corrections is on his way out. Yay. Can we have some probes into some of the contract arrangements for building prisons as well please. Judith "Crusher" Collins is the star of the Cabinet so far.

And the bloody scary and onerous and fuckwitted EFA is all but gone. Well done John Boscowen and there also needs to be some plaudits for KiwiBlog and Whaleoil who never let up the pressure on this issue.

And Paula Bennett stomped all over the Ministry of Social Development by condemning a letter from a case manager to a beneficiary suggesting the person sell toys and phones to get some cash.

And the Sun is shining and we are scheduled to have lunch at the delightful Bella Italia on the Terrace.

And just to keep you thinking - who's office is known as the G Unit ?

A JOKE - WE WISH IT WAS

This is how stupid the electoral finance act is - Shane Jones in a throw away line on a radio interview says "vote labour" and "see you in November,"

but the statement wasnt authorised so he and NewstalkZB are in the shit -- they have been referred by the Electoral Commission - to the police..

The EFA is a serious crock of shit.
