There can be no doubt that my absence from the blogosphere this week has left you feeling lost and bereft. And so it should be. My words of wisdom are the glue keeping your sad and fragile life together.

But right now I need to be focusing on my leadership challenge against Green Party co-leader Dr Russel Norman, and blogging is a distraction I don’t need.

I also have a lot of Breaking Bad episodes still to watch.

I should be back to normal blogging soon, once I’ve disposed of that Australian do-gooder.
