Shane Jones on Backbenches

Was a small crowd but a fun night at Back Benches last night. All the MPs were relaxed and did well, but I do have to say that Shane Jones was bloody funny.

You can view the episode here, but some classic lines from Shane were:

Been back down to the West Coast. You know its a bit problematic when every third person is reminding you “Hey Jonesy we didn’t like being called feral”.

Much better than denying she ever said it as Goff did.

Found a local pest in the form of Mr Auchinvole, so 1080 has been deployed.

Chris Auchinvole is the National MP.

send a search party to Boni Beach and bring them all home

Talking about missing fathers.

Finally we had this classic after a video clip of Phil Goff pouring a pint of beer with a huge (over half the glass) head on it:

The last boss we had, you didn’t joke about her head, or you lost your own.

That one brought the bar down.
