  3. Writing speech for NZDF AGM tomorrow aft'noon in Wgtn - any particularly acute insights on how to politically shift the drug debate welcome!
  4. Can't believe how busy I am - there is so much to do out here in the real world after 10 years in the parliamentary pressure cooker
  5. Still fielding messages re my hacked a/c, with thx - seems it may be part of broader attack, sounds like a lot of us shld change passwds now
  6. Just had the pleasure of discovering my Twitter account has been hacked, with thx to those who let me know, & apols re spam that's gone out
  7. Have just come across 'InSuburbia: a migrant's guide to Auckland' - scarily incisive demographics, illuminating on some migrant priorities
  8. Can't believe ACC cuts are going to extend to chopping km allowance for home care workers for 1st 20 kms - talk about taking from the poor
  9. Re racing & pokies story today, not much comprehension in the media that it's the law that says racing's OK, even though it's not charitable

  14. @caffeine_addict Thx for reference to No Right Turn blog on politicians - I hadn't seen it - cheers, sue

  16. First tweet from the outside world - now no longer a Green MP, but heaps to do out here. Thx to all who sent support last week - appreciated
  17. Very strange last day in Wellington, finishing packing up of both flat and office after 10 years -and tomorrow I'll be a liberated ex - MP
  18. First interview at 6.30am, then on to TV3 after 7 - strange to be working so full on, when after tomorrow this piece of my life will be over
  19. Have just finished writing my valedictory speech to give at 5.40pm this afternoon - a bit close for comfort. See some of you there....
  20. Just made last speech in House apart from valedictory - on Govt's seriously retrograde ACC bill; sadly, Maori Party is still in support
