Dominion Post Political Quiz

 
I managed to get 10 out of 10 for this political quiz. 
 
For the previous political quiz I only achieved 6 out of 10.  David Farrar from Kiwiblog stated that regular readers should achieve at least 7.  So in the eyes of the King of NZ political blogs, I was below par.  Hopefully this weeks stellar result goes some way to redeeming myself.

Good Column on Aussie Politics

 
Former Opposition leader Brendon Nelson is retiring from Politics.  In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald Dr Nelson gave an honest and interesting assessment of the current Labour administration, his former boss John Howard, and current Liberal Leader Malcolm Turnbull.   
 
 
I'm not a Turnbull fan, but thought Nelson was a decent enough guy.  He kind of reminded me of Don Brash. Interestingly Nelson and Goff share a common interest - they both have a passion for motor cycles - go figure.

Key Quote from in the House


In response to a 'rambling' question from Phil Goff, John Key said:

"I think it's a bit like Afghanistan in the Labour Party caucus at the moment".

Very James Bond


Referring to the $US65 million jewellery robbery in London last month (the largest in British history):

A British newspaper reported last month that the men were wearing stick-on prosthetic faces made from liquid latex.

Police have refused to comment on the claim and declined to say whether any jewellery had been recovered.

Provocative WWF Poster

Apparently World Wildlife Fund is frantically distancing itself from the
project. According to the New York Daily News, it was all a 'terrible
mistake'.
But the irony is that by claiming it to be a mistake more publicity is
generated.
