WOMAN OF MANY PARTS

We are sticking to our guns and not blogging on Ngai Tahu politics. However Gotcha has a very interesting post on a woman who seems to be doing everything for everyone.. We may follow up in due course but what Whale has uncovered will be of note to anyone with an interest in Maori and especially Ngai Tahu politics.

and for the record - Whales opinions are not ours.

Definitely a wahine toa to watch.

ACHTUNG BABY PINUS ACHTUNG

Well chop my tree down and call it firewood. Kiwiblog has a great post on the command and control of Forestry by MAF-

This is silly beyond silly. Its the work of short sighted imbeciles. Its time David Carter gave some direction to the forestry unit in MAF. It needs some serious pruning.

CLARK CALLS TIME ON WINSTON

Clark has finally conceded NZ First are in trouble. Now she wants their votes. How venal. Expect some dirt on Labour to filter out in the next few days as Winston gets his final revenge. Anderton, as well has hinted darkly about Winston and United Future blocking fisheries legislation after the Dominion revealed they both had received money from fishing magnate Philip Vela. Anderton should be very careful - we can hear whispers in the wind as it blows through the trees. We think that if NZ First voters have any sense and we think they do, they should vote for National.
