Oh i’ve had that from very early on. Even in yesterdays articles summing up the state of negotiations there were things like he’d said in the morning that he was keeping the National Party Board and Caucus up to date on things.

Argh one of those. We’ve all worked with someone like that, how on earth did he get voted in? I guess not being Labour was enough.
