An item that caught my eye.
While I await the outcome of coronial deliberations from the inquest into personal responsibility, I see that Whale's mate, Breasel is awaiting a slightly different outcome.
Mr Sheehan said the family would await the coroner's report before deciding if it wanted to take legal action on any other matters.
Yes, I smell money, although I did get the distinct impression from proceedings that the DHB seems has been lined up to take the fall.
This serious article has serious spelling mistakes, just like a Mr Wang made in Q7 here.
One of these days the writer might learn not to rely on computer spell checkers.
A block of cheese, that's all.
From what I can see the sod has spent all the kitty, just so any incoming government does not get a chance to spend a wad of my wedge.
Out and out election bribe, but not enough. A desperate, cynical move.
Companies continue to ditch staff like there's no tomorrow. I saw on TV One tonight some mussel shucker in Nelson has ditched 300 plus. That's over 1000 jobs in the past week jobs gone in unsustainable businesses under the current economic climate. Good timing on this one just after the nod for a new mussel farm came through.
I guess these 'rich prick' capitalists will have had the nod via the old boys club to clear the yards on Liarbour's watch, so maximum damage is done during the great Liarbour rout yet to come. The self-destruct internal war has just started as seen today with the veteran Filk Off having been caught inadvertently questioning her indoor's reign for life.
The new faces with the controls in the New Year can only look good as they take the tough decisions, gutting welfarism, reining in the rampant bureaucracy and bringing the economy back on an even keel.
Yes, then we could have a sustainable climate.
Update:
It is not often a cartoonist draws one on-topic for a post.
Although I do not hold any hope of a coroner issuing anything other than a diplomatically worded summary couched in legalese, this inquest starting today will hopefully define where personal responsibility lies.
At the time of the misadventure, very capable people stood by, some singing songs and watched the woman die after being disconnected for not paying their power bill. Then Whale's union mate, the 'family friend' stepped forth and proceeded to let fly, railing against the SOE power supplier, trying to garner political kudos. So much so, her indoors dropped everything, attending the funeral and was thus rightly accused of 'corpse chasing'.
Yes, it will be very enlightening to see the outcome. A healthy dose of personal responsibility is what more than a few could do with.
Kyoto will only cost you this much.

Michael's tax cuts this week are only this big.
As the true costs associated with the purchase of NZ Toy Trains Inc are uncovered to sunlight, the electors are screaming with one voice from the other side of the tracks. Immediate tax cuts, followed by double-taxation relief on fuels.
They're tired of the fact that they're so out of touch with issues that concern them in their daily life.
The yawning chasm is growing daily, which no amount of 'closing the gaps' election bribes this week will repair. If only voters could be so easily controlled by covering them over like cracks in St Heliers.
Yes, under 30% in the polls is definitely the wrong side of the tracks to be on when trying to control the populace who are definitely moving away on their own high speed track from the train wreck that is Helen and Michael.
So says the headline. That would be a big increase in the number of patients in corridors and broom cupboards as winter bites?
Tomorrow, digital red light cameras are to start officially extracting revenue from those so obviously colour blind that reside north of the Bombays.
Red-light cameras are ... not about collecting fines
Yeah Right. An earlier test over 20 days revealed 341,000 red light runners. That is 17,000 a day or 12 a minute. Numbers so scary, I had to re-read the article a few times. Someone tell me I have mis-interpreted this article.
Anyway, at a fine of $150 each, these same 341,000 would earn $51 million for the council in 20 days. Not bad, for $1.6M in, over a year that could be $900 million plus. Cost of accidents $12 million over previous 5 years. Good balance sheet.
Great little earner, try to tell anyone you are not in it for revenue. As for those of you in JafaLand, keep running red lights, I can see a future with no rates.
Trev Mallard MP has been again caught red-handed. This time for driving his red electoral advertising wheelbarrow breaching his own parties ill-conceived EFA legislation.
He has this to say on the matter.
the van was not bought for the purpose of electioneering and was not used for electioneering
A Tui is in order. When I see any MP's shopping cart emblazoned with the party logo, it is nothing but blatant electoral advertising. Hohepa Public, while he may think Helen is Queen of the Realm, does not emblazon his vehicle with logos for other than advertising purposes, although some may use various decals to cover re-entry burns.
There is a question which the EC might ask of the IRD to settle such claims for personal usage or electoral advertising.
'Does Mr Mallard claim any work-related expenses or depreciation in regards to this vehicle?'.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand will be visiting Dannevirke on the 29th of May. Helen Clarke has never been here as PM and in fact it has been many years since an acting Prime Minister has visited our town. Denise MacKenzie the Labour Candidate for Wairarapa thought it was extremely important that Mrs. Clarke came and talked to the residents of Dannevirke.
Yes, I am sure the acting PM will be positively champing at the bit to talk to the residents over a nice cuppa at Mrs. MacKenzie's small rooms on the High Street. Particularly all 466 of them wot were made unemployed today. So important that even the affairs of state could not her back.
Apart from the spelling and grammar mistakes, all the best in your new career Rebekah. Just for the future though, it is Miss Clark, she unfortunately is not acting, but the real PM for a few short months more.
I wonder will she keep to the date as promulgated or is it time for a Tui?
Unable to face any more adverse publicity, Trev 'Punchy' has decided no to calling in the application by government's energy generator to build a new hydro dam in the pristine wilderness.
Not good for votes more like it. Liarbour does not need more negative press sorting this crap out - the ratepayers can stand the EC bill.
Get stuffed Save Happy Valley kindergarten. Another Gordon River campaign in the making here.
The shine has been taken off a beautiful day here at 40S as the expected formal announcement has been made that Oringi will close.
Not bad PPCS - almost 500 Tararua workers out of work in a district that has under 19,000 residents total. That is even worse in Dannnevegas where it could be 15% to 20% of the workforce.
Still, the only industry in town that has recently undergone massive expansion will do very well thank you. Yes, WINZ is reported to be assisting potential clients.
And yet ratepayers will still afford expensive new paving imported from England and a large Viking statue.
All right lefties, settle down, stop choking on your coffee.
A headline I so wish for, but unfortunately not going to happen anytime soon here in Helengrad. The chinks in the armour are appearing in this Labour.
Whilst her indoors is backing off the emissions trading because it is political suicide at present, I note she was prepared to forgo a billion dollar industry and the 3,500 associated jobs.
What would Southland have then? Just Mayor Tim and his clapped out concrete mixer.
At least if the smelter did go, JafaLand might have a guaranteed power supply for a few more years.
But seriously, under the Law of Unintended Consequences, she is ready to allow probably the largest industrial employer in the country to head to closure over emissions. Shame the hot air and particulate emissions from her electorate are following the same principles by not being included in the carbon tax scheme.
As one of her own rightly notes about the introduction of this scheme
we're all stuffed.
