Dead Queen, MPs behaving badly

Something going on in Taupiri yesterday that has filled most of the paper today - won't go there except to say that the late Maori Queeen is the latest in a long line of people who have been more newsworthy dead than alive.

The main editorial today amplifies my observations on Mike Moore's comment piece yesterday. The Editor quite rightly points out that the parliamentarians over and above behaving badly are now lashing out at those who would have the temerity to criticise them. This includes members of the judiciary - remember how the two arms of governing a proper society are supposed to be totally separate. Peter Dunne gets the major tongue lashing for his wailing that the criticisms of election spending should come from a truthful report as opposed to a watered down parliamentary number. Pack of monkeys, the lot of them.
