Tracy Watkins gives her assessment of Hekia Parata, and it’s not pretty. Surely, John Key has to act to stem the bleeding in Education in the New Year…

Sad to see Armstrong in his dottage this morning in the Herald (desperate).
Sorry but I don’t think either Labour or Greenpeace NZ Branch will give him a high list seat.
He appeared in his article to be a sad old man – needs a very long holiday.
Used to think he had some common sense, but not recently – he has become immersed in his own little little fantasy world.

BUT

Roughan in the same paper has conceded that the media were taken to the cleaners on the ACC/Pullar saga.
The Privacy Commissioner’s report on page 99 (of 102 pages) concedes that any so called leak was a virtually non existant in realistic terms, and a copy of part of the spreadsheet contained in the report shows really nothing in terms of a breach of privacy.
Lady Cruella Boag and her mate rightly conned the media and ACC.

But of course other than looking at the PC’s report the media will chose to ignore the con – what them – never.
But there is always Armstrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A problem awaiting Wellington?

I sent yesterday’s report on the WCC’s new chief executive to a smart, ex Oxford Don and financial supporter, now Cornwall, UK, resident to ask ask his opinion on their latest export. His response:

” You might also be interested to know that The Daily Telegraph reported Cornwall County Council during this guy’s tenure as top of the list of councils racking up massive credit card expense claims by their apparatchiks, and that for a council, which is one of the poorer ones in England. It is also heavily into AGW and its [disastrous 🙂 ] spin-offs such as wind farms and solar panel arrays.

Hope Wellington’s experience proves to be more successful. …..” Gee, thanks Rupert! 🙂

There is a letter in today’s Dom/Post about Hekia Parata.
One of the points it argues is that List MPs shouldn’t be eligible for Cabinet roles. The writer of the letter, a Keith Williamson of Raumati Beach, says that not having won an electorate she has no mandate.
My first reaction was, of course, how stupid is that?
My second was to decide that it is a great idea, and that it should apply retrospectively. Look at the advantages. Michael Cullen would never have been Minister of Finance. Winston Peters would never have been Forign Minister. I insist that anything paid to Cullen and Peters for the ministerial roles be repaid immediately.
Even better, NONE of the Green MPs will ever be in Cabinet.
Giving up Joyce and Grosser would be a loss but the other effects would make it worth while.

Are we ever going to stop hearing CYF blathering on about “changing work practices” when another fuckup occurs? For fuckup read somebody murdered or maimed.

Has it occurred to CYF that pro-actively putting processes and systems in place is a better way of going about things than reactively snivelling about in the wake of complaints and bad publicity and trying patch things up when it’s all gone wrong? In fact, one has to wonder if all they do is snivel about. When it goes bad, the circumstances invariably suggest that there isn’t in fact any focus on or thought about what ought to take place when dealing with potential problem situations or indeed, even identifying potential problem situations. Where on earth do they find the people who are supposedly charged with getting things right?

Paula Bennett has had four years to sort this shit out and there is absolutely no sign that she has done anything more than her predecessors. Instead we hear the same weasel words from her that we hear from CYF itself.

Paula, there is more to your job than getting people off the bludge. Peoples lives are at stake. Get your fucking shit together and sort this out.

Apropos Parata, I received a thoughtful email from a friend, and National Party member, yesterday promoting a new bumper sticker for the holiday season:

“Collins for Education : The SSC for the knacker’s yard.”

Makes sense, don’t you think? 🙂

An experimental South Africa team romped to an eight-wicket win over New Zealand in their opening Twenty20 game on Friday after the Black Caps slumped to their third-lowest T20 score in a dismal start to their tour.
South Africa needed just 12.1 overs to reach 87-2 and overhaul New Zealand’s 86 all out.
Left badly exposed by the absence of experienced players themselves including former captain Ross Taylor New Zealand needed 23 from debutant Colin Munro to help it past its record low in 20-over games, 80 all out against Pakistan in 2010.

Normal business has resumed for our cricket team. 🙁

Interesting that McCullum seemed unapologetic, essentially saying that they were intentionally aggressive but didn’t get a couple of things right, or words to that effect. His comment didn’t seem to indicate that there would be any change in attitude the next time around. Hesson wanted positive and it looks like he’s going to get it. I wonder how this will all work out. Two day test matches would leave plenty of time for some R&R at the beach.

Where a minister resigns, the honourable thing is to follow Lord Carrington’s example and leave the cabinet.
Simply relinquishing a portfolio but remaining a minister is hardly a resignation, more a job reassignment.

Then have a browse through this site:

In particular scroll down to “NZ JUDGES INCAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING BIAS” and for interest, read the sidebar article and this one “ONE MAN’S STRUGGLE AGAINST PRIVATE PROFITEERING OFF STATE OWNED ASSETS LEFT HIM FEELING SAFER LIVING OVERSEAS”

@thedavincimode: But McCullum is right. They need to get a couple of things right for the next game:

1. The batsmen have to score runs – around 180 in T20 will be competitive.
2. The bowlers have to take wickets – 10 will do.

There ya go Brendan – if you can sort just these ‘couple of things’ I’m sure the results will soon come….

Christmas presents that are unwanted?

Say what you like about the “zip it, sweetie” girl, Bennett runs a reasonably tidy ship in terms of payment dates that clash with public holidays. 🙂

All Nat Super and other payments due on Christmas Day have already been made. Those due on New Year’s Day will be made and available on Saturday next.

Parata and Education bureaucrats have Novapay as an unwanted Christmas present.

Now, it seems, Peter Dunne and the “new” IRD chief, have an unthinking IRD bureaucracy to thank for poisoning their Christmas stockings.

IRD collects child support payments from estranged parents and pays it to the other parent every month (they hold the money for at least a month, and pay it four weeks behind!).

Every week, IRD also makes WFF payments on a Monday. The money (let us disregard the morality of the WFF scheme ) represents a tax refund or transfer.

This year IRD has processed payments for WFF and Child Support due on Tuesday (Christmas Day) next week, but they have instructed Westpac that they are NOT to release transfer of the monies until Monday evening. This means that none of those minimise will be available for pre-Christmas Day shopping. Christmas Day is not an option since all shops are closed. And the same thing will occur the following week, but at least many shops will open on New Year’s Day.

Very smart, and caring folk those IRD bureaucrats. Their response thus far has been to tell at least one family that they should have budgeted better.

The issue has already been bumped (by two families that I know of) to Peter Dunne as the Minister in Charge of the IRD. There seems little prospect of the IRD’s instruction to Westpac being amended before Monday. But it does show that there is a need for a Government-wide protocol for such matters. There is also time for Dunne to tell IRD to change arrangements for the New Year payment day.

AND, there is a very strong case for the new IRD Commissioner to get his butt kicked!

Mike Hessan has a great record with Otago cricket ( they won a one day tournament once you know) and he played for Otago B, surely with credentials like that we will be strding across the cricketing world like a boss.

Sir Ian McKellen is a wonderful actor and a brilliant Gandalf. I took issue with him in September over ‘moral policing’ the use of the word “gay” and for slapping our prime minister over the wrist for his use of the word in rebounded common parlance (‘weird,’ ‘at variance’). The irony of its being appropriated and its meaning totally changed by the gay community over several recent decades seemed to be lost to his Wizardnes
– http://conzervative.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/taking-issue-with-gandalf-again/

I wonder what McKellen thinks of what his friends hope to do with the word ‘marriage’?

I don’t think that Parata should resign because ahe is a list MP. There are plenty of other reasons why she should resign:
– she has ZERO people skills
– she cannot work with others
– she refuses to listen to advice
– she has no understanding of her portfolio
– she has limited communications skills, repeats the same soundbites and politik-speak in the desperate hope trhat if she says the same thing enough times people will start to believe her

Audrey Young has a thoughtful piece in the Herald that provides quite a bit of insight
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10855626

The holiday period- Chrsitmas and New Year – the nadir time for New Zealand print media.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be treated to:

Numerous columns on hangover cures.
Numerous columns on how to get your job back after trying to shag the bosses wife at the Xmas piss up.
Numerous best of columns
Numerous of little Johnny and Suzie building sand castles at The Mount
Numerous D listers giving us their New Year resolutions
Numerous columns of predictions for the New Year from Bernard Hickey et al ( bernie , most of us know our arse from our elbow, you don’t)
Numerous stories of how harsh life is after some ” rat bag with a heart of gold” kills himself while pissed driving at 200 kmph and how it wasn’t really his fault it was the governments.

Almost looking for to the bludgers and troughers getting back to their undergradurate behaviour in Wellington already

Yes it does while they carry the name New Zealand Mens Cricket team, I dislike 20/20 but if they must call it a rep side, I’d like them to put out the best team with a coach who has some idea other than naming his mates at captain. Been a bit surprised that Hessan hasn’t found a role for Stewie yet, but I suppose its early in the season

You misunderstood. I never suggested she resign from Parliament.
I am not sure about all oif the reasons you list, but I can say that I found her charming (when she wants something!), engaging whern appeas to listen, and plaiun dumb and forgetful when she got her warrants.. But above all, she was promoted far too soon.

Her husband (Sir Wira) probably drives a lot of her impetuosity, dating back to his Army command days.. But most of all, she has been driven by a Ministry that is out of touch. It is also interesting that when Clark did the big school closure round a few years ago, the NZEI/PPTA was notable for absence.
So, she haf a tough road to trudge. That is why I say we need Colliun in Education (full time!). 🙂

Actually, it does. It’s now in the history books that a team representing our country was humiliated by an RSA trial team. It’s a total embarrassment. And McCullum says there were a ‘couple of things’ that went wrong they need to work on….

I don’t have an urge to run off and slash my wrists every time they lose, but I want them to compete / put up a decent fight.

But I’ve had enough of the constant ineptitude that is on display with much to do with NZ Cricket – on and off the field. For me, the rot set in when John Wright pulled out citing his inability to function with John Buchanan. And we have lurched from crisis to crisis ever since… 🙁

Agrred davinic, almost choked on my breakfast when I read that. Unbelievable. How is an “aggressive mindset” going to help when it nets you 150 in a test innings, where valuing your wicket might net you 400? What a wanker. It really is a microcosm of McCullum’s personal game, where one innings may be so breathtaking it glosses over the next 25 failures.

“So New Zealand didn’t win the cricket then?”

How ironic though, the top scorer for both sides was South African. If I recall correctly, it was Pauleastbay who got all hot under the collar when someone referred to Bryce Courtenay as Australasia’s greatest author. Funny that. I reckon we need even more Saffers in the Backcaps. Carl Cachopa must be close to a call up.

Dean , whats your point?, he was not born an Australian, my wife was born an Australian, just because you live somewhere for a long time does not change your country of birth. You might have also noticed whenever the Aussies want to deport a Maori , he is always referred to as a New Zealander even though he might have lived in Australia for 50 years.

No inferiority complex here just the Aussies tend to cherry pick who they claim as their own, which may in fact be some type of complex , who knows?

or Clarrie Grimmet, claimed by the Aussies, as a matter of fact he’s from Dunedin and if he wasn’t dead Hessan would probably draft him into the New Zealand Squad immediately

don’t know about Tony Shaw, but we do ‘claim’ Clarrie Grimmet. I’ve seen him included in lists of top NZ wicket takers. But you need to calm down Pauleastbay, there’s no excuse for foul language. Phar Lap never raced in NZ. Not one single race. In a social history context, Phar Lap’s fame extends well beyond his mere success as a racehorse. It is also linked to the times in which he raced, the depression era, in Oz . No amount of statues built 75 years after the fact will change that. It’s your inferiority complex that makes you think that Oz cherry pick who they claim, and NZ, apparently does not. You have a typical distorted view of reality. Have Oz claimed Mahe Drysdale yet? I heard Irene van Dyke called the ‘greatest netballer NZ has produced’ (might have been the Deaker show on sky sport). Do you reckon South African’s should get hot under the collar over that?
