Bring it on!

For around the 10th time since Helen Clark declared “bring it on”in relation to a debate about the Treaty of Waitangi, she has declined to appear on the Holmes Show with Don Brash to debate the issue.

The Herald reports how the latest negotiations have fallen down, with Clark accusing TVNZ of conniving with National – a patently silly accusation (especially if one ever watches TVNZ News).

What was amusing was the five different excuses Labour came up with to explain why they could not make the debate. They ranged from they only found out about it on Friday (in fact were asked according to Bill Ralston 10 days earlier), to had a funeral that day, to they never debate except in election year.
