The Huddle

I was on Larry Williams show The Huddle last night with Josie Pagani.

Our topics were:

Going to be another day of Gilmore bashing. It’s been quite carthartic. So he’s fighting back today with silly texts.  Read more »

I was on the Huddle last night with Larry Williams and Josie Pagani.

Our topics were as follows:

Aaron Gilmore – The Clown of Christchurch East.

Sensible Sentencing Trust’s new website - Judging the Judges. Sensible Sentencing have promised it’s not going to be a witch hunt and general slamming of judges, but a long hard look at their decisions and the circumstances under which they are made. I can’t see this being a bad thing.  Read more »

It’s Monday, time for the Huddle with Larry Williams and Josie Pagani.

I was on The Huddle with Larry Williams and Josie Pagani last night

Our topics were:

The death of Parekura Horomia.

The Auckland road charges and who and how they should be paid for. Obviously there’s been no decision yet, but certainly the roads need to be looked at rather than just Len’s train set which goes in a circle and doesn’t really serve the needs of greater Auckland. But it does put Len in a difficult situation as any charges put directly on to motorists are going to impact on his core voter base – those who’re on a lower wage. Then there is the issue of where is Len’s promised referendum on the issue?  Read more »

I was on the Huddle last night with Larry Williams and my usual counterpoint Josie Pagani.

Josie might have a bit of a reason to be happy with our topics, one of which is the latest polls.

Our topics were:

• First up the polls and the tie in to MRP shares…which there can’t be because the polling was done before the Greens/Labour announcement. So that’s going to be telling. But clearly it shows that even though David Shearer cops a lot of flak – the gap’s closing. Which is of course great for National.
• The ongoing economic vandalism by Labour and the Green Taliban  Read more »

I was on Larry Williams’ show The Huddle last night with my regular punching bag Josie Pagani.

Our topics were:

• Russel Norman – who’s gunning to be the next finance minister believes that he’s got the solution to Auckland’s grid lock traffic woes – build a ring of rail to go in a big circle within a very small area. That’ll benefit probably no one and not get one Auckland out of their car! But wait – there’s more – Russel says he’s going to scrap the transmission gully project to pay for Len’s train set…how to alienate two major areas of party support.
• There’s the Labour threat to try and put the kibosh on Mighty River Power share sales by saying they’re going to “change” the electricity industry if they come into power. But where is their policy, or is this just more mumbles and stumbles from Captain Mumbles.  Read more »

I am on Larry Williams’ show The Huddle tonight with my regular punching bag Josie Pagani.

Our topics so far are:

• Russel Norman – who’s gunning to be the next finance minister believes that he’s got the solution to Auckland’s grid lock traffic woes – build a ring of rail to go in a big circle within a very small area. That’ll benefit probably no one and not get one Auckland out of their car!

I was on The Huddle last night with Susan Wood and Josie Pagani.

Our topics were:

The biggy was the Tiwai story.

Then we’ve got the renaming, of the North and South islands.

And a funny from Palmy – how on earth are they going to enforce this?  Read more »

I was on Larry Williams’ show The Huddle with Josie Pagani last night.

Our topics were:

• The preventive detention numbers released  – which flies in the face of what people actually think it is, a mechanism to keep nasty and evil offenders locked up forever.
• Then we’ve got the changes to insurance policies coming through
• The fatty fares I blogged about yesterday.

Once again Larry Williams was entertaining Josie Pagani and me on his Huddle.

Our topics were:

The back down on the car parking tax

Then we’ve got the debate about whether or not farmers should get an allowance during climatic events, here’s the piece from Bruce Wills responding to the complaints.

And last but not least the Parata staff problems and the latest Novopay cock up: there’s more problems with Novopay – but there does come a point where that’s not really news. News would be that Novopay’s running smoothly!!

I managed to hijack the first segment to talk about David Shearer’s miraculous off shore bank account he forgot clean about….poor Josie never saw it coming.
