I love how she describes herself as “ACTs National Security spokesman”, though I wonder if it’s taking not being PC a bit far?

Forgive me for not being up to date but…..Winston has a blog? Who is paying for it? Let me guess, me the taxpayer, or Owen Glenn, or a person or persons unknown?
Perhaps trigger the wonder racing horse?

Yeah, but she seems to be moderating every post! At least mine hasn’t appeared half an hour after I first registered and then posted on her blog, and I certainly didn’t say anything offensive (you know, not even any demerits here, although heaps of the punters try to provoke me into it).

If Heather really want so make it work, and I wish her well, because despite ACT’s low polling, they have largely been a party of principle (much of which I disagree with) following the departure of Prebble and Newman. But they are still more principled than any other Party than the Greens, so I will give them credit for that.

But Heather does need to address the OTT moderation on her blog, otherwise we won’t bother to go there.

So lighten up and relax Heather. I get some pretty awful stuff said about me on blogs, and I’m sure you will too. But become a blogger (or a politician for that matter) and that’s par for the course.

ACT’s National Security spokesman means she is responsible for the security of National. At least she hopes to be if ACT gets Epsom and more than 5% of the party vote…

PS Toad – I’m sure it’s not you…it’s probably those scum suckers from the Standard ruining it for everyone else by commenting in less than friendly terms…

Toad,

Maybe it happens to first time posters. I know the first time I posted on Kiwiblog it was moderated.

[DPF: Indeed first time posters are moderated. Also the Askimet spam program suspects you are spam sometimes if you have links in your comment. Either way you just wait until I notice you and release the comment]

Toad> But they are still more principled than any other Party than the Greens

I just about choked when I read that. You’re talking about the Greens who:

1. Supported the EFA.
2. Manipulated the party list system so that their leader’s election campaigning would be paid for by the taxpayer.
3. Was quite “supportive of the campaign to ban” water.
4. Fiddled their allowances so that electorate expenses would be paid in to their own superannuation schemes.
5. Supported the Labour/NZ First Government over the last three years while NZ increased its carbon emissions faster than the US or Australia.
6. Wants to ban GM food unless it can be proven to be absolutely safe, but wants to legalise pot even tho it is known to be harmful.

They’re bauble-seekers who’ll support any mad scheme.

More whisky of course, you’d know that if your ancestors were from further north than the coal country :o)
