Did anyone watching yesterday's General Debate notice some interesting happenings?
After Phil Goff led off Labour's contribution to the debate, he left the House, followed by many of his caucus. A few remained, mainly those who were speaking in the debate. But Goff's seat did not remain vacant for long.
Yes indeed dear readers, Shane Jones delivered HIS speech in the General Debate (Labour's second speech) from the Leader of the Opposition's seat. And we have to say; he looked very pleased with himself. Mind you, Shane Jones does smug self-satisfaction better than most, except perhaps David Cunliffe. We wondered if Cunners himself would move into the hallowed seat, but no, he stayed in the #3 spot.
Was this a harbinger of things to come for Labour? Is Shane Jones the "annointed one"? Are the BBQ's sizzling, and are the knives being sharpened? And will Poor Phil get his choice of candidate for the Mt Albert by-election, or will Head Office, or - shock-horror - even the locals get their candidate of choice?
There have been lots of comings and goings in Labour since the election, and we reckon that the comings, and especially the goings haven't finished yet. But that's just our opinion, of course!

Practising or pretending?
I thought it might have actually been an audition.
During the Address-in-Reply debate, new Labour MP's all gave their Maiden Statements from seats that were not the ones allocated to them. They each spoke instead from a more prominent position in the House, with their adoring fellow Labour MPs clustered around in a show of solidarity. One can understand that Labour was smarting from their public rejection and humiliation at the polls, but their arrogance in defying the conventions of Parliament show that they have no regrets, underline no regrets, in the high-handed way they treat the office to which they have been elected. Their ignorance knows no bounds.
Ignorance indeed anon, accompanied by large doses of arrogance. Which may, of course, have contriobuted more than somewhat to their demise last year!
