I have alluded to, but not written of, the National Party's "shadow Cabinet".
It has all of the usual culprits. Obviously Brash Donny is Numbero Uno, I think the fortunately invisible Bill (Catholic) English is in two and Jonkey is number three. Georgina Te Heu Heu is their Honarary Maori, or is it Honarary Pakeha?
Somewhere down toward the bottom is the name Wayne Mapp. Alongside is a new portfolio - "Spokesman for the removal of political correctness.
Keith Ng sets out his reasons for remaining vocally "liberal".
My mind goes back to Jon Gadsby, David McPhail, and "Jeez Wayne!".
MTC over the next three years...
Added later -
Kip in front of the box (A1 Racing on it couldn't keep me awake...) does wonders for the brain.
I am letting the usual culprits off just a bit too easy.
Jeez Wayne goes back to a speech during the election campaign. I have not heard nor seen more than third hand reports, but apparently he was trying to pull Brash Donnies 2005 Orewa speech back into the news.
As I understand it, he has defined (re-defined) Political Correctness, spoken strongly against it, and has his post of PC Eradicator as a result. It is that funny au!
His definition (I don't have the exact wording here) connected "mainstream NZ" to policies and government sponsorship of "minorities".
When Brash Donnie opened the NP campaign with the "mainstream NZ" tag, everyone began wondering just who he was meaning. Please leave suggestions in comments Not only that, everyone began fearing that they might falloutside of "mainstream NZ" for some reason, some "thing" that would make them in a minority that they did not know about.
So, to start -
What is MAINSTREAM?
