Rodney on Judith

The NZ Herald has an article on the scrapping of the Auckland Issues portfolio.  Had to laugh at Rodney’s statement:

Act leader and Epsom MP Rodney Hide said there were only two possible reasons for dumping the portfolio.

“Either Ms Tizard had solved all of Auckland’s problems or she never did anything in the first place and wasn’t needed.”

But the funniest line has to go to Helen Clark:

Asked if the decision was a reflection of Ms Tizard’s performance in the role – she has been the subject of ridicule at times from National – the Prime Minister said it was not, and described Ms Tizard as a “tireless minister”.

I never realised Helen had such a well developed sense of humour.
