So Penny. You are going to ask people you despise to allow you to represent them and look after their interests in Parliament? Sounds perfectly natural to me. Or not. On second thoughts it sounds like a monumental ego trip and an insult to the electorate.

Penny is now the chief judge on who is a competent business operator.

We’ve seen your credentials, Penny -screaming as the cops chucked you into the paddy wagon 🙂

“For a ‘brighter’ (more transparent and less corrupt) future – vote Penny Bright for Helensville?”

More transparent? Last year I asked Penny NUMEROUS times one very simple question – namely, would SHE, Penny Bright, sign up to her OWN ‘Code of Conduct” that she proposes, and in particular point number 4:

4. Legislate for an enforceable ‘Code of Conduct’ for NZ Members of Parliament (who make the rules for everyone else).

Because I was (and still am) exceedingly interested to know what this ‘Code of Conduct’ would look like. (Might it mention behaving at all times with dignity and decorum, for example? Or possibly, talk about PAYING YOUR RATES?)

Penny Bright – she of the cry “transparency!” – has NEVER answered this one very simple question.

I don’t live in Helensville, but I do live relatively close (far closer than Penny does) and know people who live and work there. I think the kindest thing I can say, regarding her intentions to represent Helensville, is “you’re in cloud-cuckoo land and dreaming”.

(Meant – of course – in a CARING way …) 🙂
