I get down when people keep saying my government has no plan for the future. They’re wrong. There is a plan, and it is to say and do anything necessary to get re-elected in 2011. LOL! I suppose that will sound cynical. Shouldn’t we be doing what’s right for the country, rather than just clinging…

Well that was a pretty good conference. While I don’t want to take all the credit for our success, it was nice to stand there basking in my own glory. The people love me. I hope Bill was watching. To think that only a couple of years ago he reckoned he was just as capable…

Let me tell you about the last week: Expenses scandal: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Chris Carter: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Shane Jones: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Foreshore and Seabed: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!…

Sometimes no matter what you tell people they still don’t get it. I said we would never sell Kiwibank, ever. Then I said we would not sell Kiwibank unless we asked the voters first. Then I said we would not sell Kiwibank at all. Then I said we would not sell Kiwibank in this term.…

The last week or so has been an ordeal. And I don’t just mean having to listen to Gerry’s latest plans to surgically mine precious minerals. Apparently up to 4% of the human body is made up of minerals. So Gerry reckons he’s now found a way for people on welfare to contribute to society.…

Here I am again. Easter was nice, but now people are asking about our shop opening hours. Well I’m a relaxed guy, and that’s why I’d like to see Easter trading laws relaxed. But I’m relaxed about when that might happen. I’ve said we might take a look at these rules, but once we realise…

Not a bad few days. We just got rid of a whole lot more civil servants. Isn’t my plan to get Kiwis working looking great? It all comes back to my cycleway – that’s 1500 more people on their bikes! Now the lousy Opposition are saying we agreed to cap public service staff levels, not…

Another busy week of talk talk talk. The press have been all over me because they said I claimed in January to have a secret plan to eradicate whaling, when in actual fact we are about to support Japan’s efforts to hunt the little buggers down. I was misreported, of course.  What I said was…

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. I should have written sooner, but being ambitious for New Zealand and relaxed at the same time makes it hard to get anything done. Last week was pretty awful. Phil’s resignation caught me by complete surprise. I don’t understand why he resigned over a few bottles of wine. We…

It’s been a tough week. Had my big speech in Parliament on Tuesday. Managed to say not much, and didn’t commit to doing anything, which left me very pleased. Sat down after the speech feeling pretty good about myself, only for the other lot to start tearing strips off me. Who do they think they…
