Most List MPs are scum, most List MPs hate being List MPs unless they specifically chose to be List MPs and some are scum and plonkers rolled into an all encompassing lothesome individual of no redeeming qualities. So what DO you call a List MP or any MP for that matter?

The name list also includes a Labour constituency MP, Christchurch Central MP Brendon Burns, who was once editor of the Marlborough Express.

He wants to be referred to as either “Christchurch Central Labour MP working in Marlborough” or “Labour MP working in Marlborough”

So, looks like M’Lord Burns’ attachment to the chateau has overridden his desire to represent Christchurch Central. Maybe, as I pointed out in a previous post, he is sick having to deal with the practicalities of the lumpen proletariat in the Socialist Republic of Christchurch?

Apparently the current Labour Party MP for Christchurch Central, noted chateaux owner, wine producer and confirmed chardonnay socialist, Lord Burns of Malborough is finding the going a bit tough. Lord Burns apparently is quite good on the theory of the common man, but a bit less competent at representing him as he is, well, common. Even in polite company. And the lumpenprolitariat seem completely disinterested m’Lord Burns, his pro tem leader and policy platform.

Lord Burns of Malborough may well be wishing he chose to remain at the chateaux in Malborough sipping chardonnay with Lady Philippa, who is finding the going rather tough away from the chateaux despite the parliamentary perks and an rather indulgent shopping budget.

Why doesn’t he just end the farce and ask Lockie to call him Lord Burns of Malborough?

Just about set to take off on the Targa, I’m going on the tour with my mate Paul and this is his Holden after it has had its modifications completed.

This car is the ultimate sleeper. It is blown, by Paul Manuel, has a switch to go from normal exhaust to dump pipes straight through and the noise of this roaring V8 is something to be believed. Racing brakes with custom cooling pipes from the front to the disks. The line lockers complete a simply magnificant fuel guzzling beast of a V8 machine.

Labour has been squealing for days now about ACT and Rodney Hide charging entry for fundraisers. Especially the paid lap-bloggers of The Standard who are seeing corruption all about them.

They of course wouldn’t think that it was corrupt for Helen Clark for speak at a fundraiser charging $25.00 per head would they?

No siree, that’s just fine with them, but if ACT or National do it then its corruption. They forget too the Chinese fundraisers where all the money “gets mixed up” in a bowl so no one knows who gave what.

Of course there was the Rotorua Chamber of Commerce fundraiser that Phil Goff was going to speak at but only 4 people bought tickets, Phil, Mr Chadwick and two staffers so it had to be cancelled.

Hon Rodney Hide: Could the Prime Minister confirm that when Ministers in this Government attend public meetings, they need to ensure that more than four people will turn up, so that they do not end up in the very embarrassing situation that Labour leader Phil Goff had in Rotorua when the local chamber of commerce could sell only four tickets, with one of those being sold to Steve Chadwick, and, not surprisingly, the event had to be cancelled?

Hon BILL ENGLISH: It is quite possible that Steve Chadwick bought all the tickets, because she takes her job as a whip seriously. But I can advise the member—

Labour are plainly jealous as they can’t get enough people to a fundraiser to fill a phone box. Cactus Kate meanwhile hands all the flunkies including Trevor “Putin” Mallard their collective asses on points of law.

Lest we also forget the one fundraiser that Helen Clark participated in that involved her committing a prima facie case of forgery then colluded to have the forgery bought by someone in her office and then destroyed by burning the evidence before the police got around to investigating.

Labour just can’t get to grips that the public are over them, over their antics and want to see some serious atonement for the nine years of economic destruction they wrought on the country that were mitigated only by the best economic conditions the country had enjoyed in more than 50 years.

Some interesting information has come to light in the Richard Worth affair.

At the time of the fiasco questions were raised by this blog of the relationship between Mr Goff and the shy, unassuming housewife who allegedly approached Mr Goff after she was supposedly propositioned by Dr Worth.

Mr Goff has never explained how he knew Neelam Choudary or even the ongoing relationship that he had with Ms Choudary. In fact he went very quiet when the growing evidence of his involvement of the stitch up of Dr Worth mounted. What became clear is that Mr Goff pimped out the “strikingly beautiful” Ms Choudary as a honey-trap in order to score cheap political points against Dr Worth and National.

Laziness is often the undoing of people as many a lawyer and tax accountant will explain and it is laziness and lack of attention to detail that may well be the undoing of Mr Goff.

You see losing candidate in Botany electorate, still has his website up. Don’t worry about dropping now all you Labour flunkies who read this blog I have screen shots of every page.

On one of the pages are glowing references to Mr Goff and one Ms Neelam Choudary along with a number of photos. There are also other photos and posts which show that Neelam Choudary was an integral part of the campaign in Botany. Plus this one of Goff and Choudary together with Helen Clark.

Neelam Choudary has established an enormously strong network in the Indian community, and has consulted widely accross many of  India’s top business and political leaders.

Mr Goff’s timeline of events concerning the Labour sting operation on Dr Worth have never been adequately explained nor has his relationship to the “strikingly beautiful” Neelam Choudary. In fact Mr Goff several time changed his story and in light of this page left on the net by the lazy and the indlent in the wake of the destruction of the Labour party in 2008 it is rather embarrassing to say the least that the real relationship between Neelam Choudary and Mr Goff has now been revealed.

Perhaps Mt Goff might like to explain the circumstances of his “chance” meeting and subsequent advice to Ms Choudary in how to deal with Dr Worth in light of this new evidence? I’d certainly be interested to hear the real story of how the sting went down.

As usual, Brian Fallow hits the nail on the head in the Herald.  Just why is mad Nick Smith so obsessed with getting his lunatic ETS in place before the UN’s big talkfest in Copenhagen? 

As Fallow says:

No doubt it would be nice for New Zealand’s representatives at Copenhagen to be able to say: “Apart from the Europeans we are the only ones to have an emissions trading scheme on the statute books.”

In fact they could say that now.

But anyone at Copenhagen listening to that claim is likely either not to care, or to see through it.

Mad Nick is defying  the Prime Minister with his obsession.  Remember John Key said that New Zealand shouldn’t try to be a heroic leader on climate change anymore.  Seems no one told Nick.

Fallow also reveals Mad Nick’s scheme is designed to raise at least another $2 billion in taxes a year:

 By 2030 the government would have been making about $4 billion a year out of it (assuming, rather conservatively, a carbon price of $50 a tonne). Under the amended scheme it will be half that.

This is also a direct challenge to the Prime Minister who has promised that the revised ETS will be fiscally-neutral.  Nick – collecting $2 billion a year ain’t fiscally-neutral.  It’s called raising taxes and its what National Ministers are meant to be against. You’re in the wrong party. 

Mad Nick also told Parliament yesterday that “we are the first country in the world to include forestry in an emissions trading scheme” – again, that’s a direct challenge to the Prime Minister who has said we shouldn’t try to be the world’s leader.

He also said that in Australia, “there is a complete ban on any deforestation of pre-1990 forests”.  Turns out that’s not true.  Mad Nick must have just thought it would sound good when he said it in Parliament.  But that’s called misleading the House.  Maybe he forgot to take his pills. 

Mad Nick is making a fool of the Prime Minister.  Time for John Key to grow some balls and sack him.

Whale Oil Beef Hooked is proud to announce, a little earlier than usual, the award for politician of the year.

This years recipient goes to Tony Ryall for culling 500 money sucking bureaucrats in one go.

Five hundred “backroom” jobs in the health sector will go in a major shake-up announced by Health Minster Tony Ryall.

Mr Ryall said the plan would save an estimated $700m over five years by consolidating the administrative functions of 21 district health boards into one new body.

The National Health Board (NHB) will be set up to provide a better national focus on health spending.

Mr Ryall said the board would be a unit within the Health Ministry with a general manager and an advisory board whose chair would report directly to the minister.

Brilliant, now I must stress that this award could be gazzumped at any time with more ballsy behavior shown by politicians but it will take a lot to beat culling 500 pen-pushers. Perhaps Judith Collins could overtake him by getting car crushed live on TV under her new laws prior to Christmas or another Minister to get rid of a 1000 money sucking leeches from the civil service, or John key to sack Nick Smith and ditch the ETC, until then the one with the biggest balls so to speak is Tony Ryall and so he holds the award for now and a Whale Oil Beef Hooked T-short is on its way to you.

The Mad Mayor of North Shore, Andrew Williams, the Clown of Campbells Bay has proven yet again why Rodney Hide needs to seriously consider the adding the power of recall into the legislation for the new Auckland Super City.

It is idiots like Andrew Williams that do the reputation of good governance no service at all with their antics.

Glenfield Community Board member and former councillor David Thorton agrees and calls for the Power of Recall.

In a media release yesterday, “Hide’s fundraising rort the first of many”, North Shore Andrew Williams once again lodges into an ill-informed personal attack on a government minister.

Mayor Williams gets paid a sizeable salary by his ratepayers and should not be spending even more ratepayers’ money on making continued rude, personal and unnecessary media attacks on Local Government Minister Rodney Hide.

His latest outburst concerns an ACT Party fundraiser in Christchurch – and has no relevance at all to the ratepayers of North Shore City .

For many months Mayor Williams has achieved notoriety for his personal attacks on other mayors and government ministers – with absolutely nothing gained for the city he is meant to be serving.

If New Zealand had a system of ‘recall’ for elected members who failed their voters I believe Mayor Williams would have been long gone.

He has presided over a council which introduced the highest rates increases in the Auckland region and one of the highest in the country.

His council, in secret – without consultation, paid over $4 million for a beachfront house that was valued at just over $2 million.

In an ongoing battle, victims of a landslip have been trying to get a fair deal from Mayor William’s council – but have been refused information as all meetings on solutions to their problems are held in secret.

For a city the size of Auckland i believe that Minister Hide would do well to introduce recall provisions to the Supercity Bill so the public do not have to suffer the vagaries of meat-axes like Williams or fools like Hubbard.

The Labour Party snitch in Ministerial Services, Simon Pleasants, who is the prime suspect in feeding Pete Hodgson and Trevor Mallard details about Ministerial Housing details is also running communications courses.

That’s right the former Helen Clark staffer who seems to have conned MinServices into a prime job where he has access to all the alarm codes, security arrangements and housing detail of Ministers seems to be also running courses in how to get what you want with communications.

He recently sent out this email;

Do you want recipients of your emails to do stuff, think stuff, or know stuff?

If so, this quick-smart 1-hour session is for you. It will
·         cover the essentials of using email to persuade, influence, and inform.
·         offer solutions to some of the challenges you may be facing

Presenter: Simon Pleasants currently manages the Ministerial Property portfolio. He has a ten-year background in internal and external communications, specialising in online communications.

Venue: Level 18, Bowen House
Date: Friday 30 October 2009
Time: 10am

Hilarious, this from a guy who is highly suspected to be an author at he Standard, a snitch, friend and confidante of Pete Hodgson and Trevor Mallard and littered the web with all his incriminating tweets and facebook postings (he has deleted his profile on Grassroots Labour, guilty actions if you ask me), I’m astonished he has the gall to put himself forward to do a session for Parliamentary staff on “What happens after you hit send?”

Isn’t it interesting that the Bill English stuff all started coming to the fore after this tweet about a new job? For someone who professes to be an expert in social media he sure has locked down all his socmedia sites like Facebook, Labour Grassroots etc.

After years of failing to deal with the boy racer issue, aspiring Phil Goff replacement Clayton Cosgrove seems to be siding with boy racers against the rest of us that reckon he should be giving Crusher Collins a big round of applause for putting a few cars in the crusher, but needs to lift her game, do everyone a favour and accidentally forget to remove a few boy racers from their vehicles.

The sad part about all this is Plughead is allegedly from the right wing of the Labour party. Maybe hanging out with a bunch of liberal elite, teachers, pooftahs, lezzos, union reps and assorted rag tag pro politically correct scum has addled his brain.

Surely the right wing of the Labour party can see that boy racers are vermin that need to be exterminated, preferably with a fifty cal by members of licensed gun clubs, and this would be a vote winning proposition among the lumpen proletariat of the Socialist Republic of Christchurch?

Or has Aunty Helen’s evil influence permeated so far into the Labour party conscience that they fail to realise that a tough line on crime in general and boy racers in particular is a vote winning proposition. Winning votes is somewhat essential for aspiring Labour leaders. Maybe he hasn’t worked out how to fund an “entitlement” for a fifty cal for all those bludgers who cant afford one and doesn’t want to discriminate against them?

Crusher Collins meanwhile has exposed Clayton’s whining about toughness on crime as being as false as his punch and grow. Labour had nine years to do something and still they go soft on crims, assholes and general louts. I suppose given their parlous poll ratings it is to be expected that they need to appeal to the criminal class to really keep themselves about 10%.

With such namby-pamby suggestions Cosgrove is really counting himself out of the race for the new leader of the Labour party. perhaps his real rationale is to ditch the losing team and try to replace Lianne Dalziel as the preferred Labour candidate for mayor in the Socialist Republic of Christchurch. Ultimately both their candidacies are doomed through their own inaction on important and critical issues in Christchurch.
