Blogs & Parliament

Last night, Jordan Carter and I were the invited speakers to a forum in Parliament organised by the New Zealand chapter of the Australasian Study of Parliament Group. The topic we had been asked to shgare our views on was Blogs and Parliament.

There was a good turnout, one of their larger recent ones, with around 40 people there, and a younger demographic than normal.

Rod Donald chaired the session and introduced us. Rod complained that everytime I say something nice about him on my blog, it causes him problems with his colleagues. So I just have to say he did a very good job as the chair 🙂

Jordan has blogged it from his view, and Keith Ng has suggested Jordan and I do joint gigs more often as we had very contrasting styles.

In case anyone is interested, a copy of the powerpoint I did is attached.
