I was on Larry Williams show on NewstalkZB with Barry Soper.
First up, big crack down on the fishing industry and the use of foreign flagged fishing vessels.
Then we’ve got the Shane Jones issue of him not backing down from granting Bill Liu citizenship.
And finally Key tells councils to act like grown ups when discussing the sale of their assets.
Last year I went to Gibbs Farm. I posted on it at the time.
My Mum rang me after that and told me she was jealous as she had always wanted to go to see Gibbs Farm. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I figured she’d go eventually.
A couple of weeks back mum got some news that we were all hoping wouldn’t happen. She has been under going treatment for cancer for the past 6 months, and had completed her regime of chemo. There were many changes as some of the drugs didn’t agree with her.
Mum was told she had just weeks to live. One morning I was driving to the office and was a bit upset…I had been racking my brains wondering what could I do.
Then I remembered. She loved sculpture and had always wanted to see the Gibbs Farm. So…I made some calls. I was quickly put in touch with the manager and explained the situation. Yesterday was the day and I drove Mum and Dad out to Gibbs Farm.
This was my present to Mum. thank you to Andrew at The Farm and to those who helped make it happen.
I was on Larry Williams NewstalkZB show The Huddle at 1740 with the lovely Josie Pagani.
Our topics were:
First up Key not happy with the media.
The lawyer calling for the police officer to be named at the centre of a fatal shooting in the Hawkes Bay.
I’m on The Huddle on Larry Williams NewstalkZB show.
I imagine we will be talking about the government’s contraception plans.
You can listen online, or ont he wireless. I will post the audio as usual tomorrow morning.
Gus Gawn (is that really his name?) has written an article about me…apparently. He finishes the article with perhaps the best analysis ever written about why I blog.
The basic purpose of Cameron Slater aka Whale Oil is to be inflammatory and push his (usually National) agenda. While being almost universally loathed can be a tough way to live your life, the attention Slater gets from his own followers, the mainstream media and the politicians he takes pot-shots at is a fair indication he’s doing a pretty good job of … whatever it is he does.
Since he seems a big fan of Perez Hilton style images, here’s one I did for him….cocksmoker. Note to Gus…see how you put links in…it isn’t hard, give it a try.
Winston is a little pissy…the problem he has is that several of his loyal lieutenants are a bit worried about some things financial and are squawking:
“This is the kind of allegation that that lazy, idle, indolent commentator Whale Oil makes about a number of people including me and New Zealand First and it’s totally baseless.”
He says Whale Oil should be sued, but he can’t be bothered doing it.
At least I don’t wear a poorly thatched wig….and I don’t have a history of saying No when the facts are the opposite.
I’m was on Larry William’s Huddle at 1740 on NewstalkZB with the lovely Josie Pagani.
Our topic was:
Day 10, The Bresaola should be ready.
I took off the muslin and string, and this is the dry Bresaola.
And this is it sliced:
The taste?
Awesome…going to be hard to stop scoffing it.

I am definitely going to get into this curing thing…it is totally cool, having shot, gutted, skinned, butchered and cured the meat from hoof, to plate.
It looks Tracy Watkins is a bit miffed that people talked to me and not to her…
The latest leak, over outgoing chief of staff Stuart Nash’s abrupt departure from Wellington on Thursday, should be what causes Mr Shearer the most sleepless nights. It appeared on right-wing blog Whale Oil within hours of Mr Nash’s departure.
Fairfax had found out purely by chance only an hour or so earlier. The leak to Whale Oil was more deliberate, and according to people in the know, could only have come from either a very tight circle of senior staffers, or one or two very highly placed MPs.
The implications are all bad for Labour. Whale Oil’s Cameron Slater is almost single-mindedly bent on undermining and destabilising the left-wing of politics.
He regularly runs half-baked conspiracy theories and innuendo up the flagpole just to see if he can get the mainstream media running. Why anyone within Labour would give him credence is mystifying.
Interesting, so leaking to her (by mistake)… is better than leaking to me…deliberately?
It is true that I am single-mindedly bent on undermining and destabilizing the left-wing of politics. So Bloody What…at least I am honest about it, unlike the media fan-bois who pretend to be impartial but are far from it.
Those paragraphs just show the professional jealously that an Auckland based blogger, not inside the beltway or even the gallery can gazzump and ruin her story for the next day. Boo hoo, dry your eyes Tracy.
