Unsurprisingly, Steve Braunias has picked Hekia Parata as his "victim" for his Secret Diary column this week, and it's a cracker; here's how the week ends for the embattled Education Minister:
THURSDAY7am. There is not a chance in hell that I will back down on the Government's resolve to build a brighter tomorrow by returning to the past when caretakers took care of things.8am. John calls from London. It sounds as though he's at a concert. "Oh, wow!", he shouts. "Paul McCartney's come on to the stage! I've always been a fan of Wings. OK. Let me make this quick."2pm. Call a press conference. Ow. Ow. Ow.FRIDAYSummoned the staff to get the egg off my face."Where is everybody?" I screamed at the one person who showed up."They muttered something about hating you, so now they've got new jobs," he said.And then he reached into the pocket of his overalls, pulled out a lump of putty, and said, "So where's the window that needs fixing?"
This is a most amusing piece by Steve Braunias. To appreciate just how the week ends, go and read the whole piece at the link above.
And credit to Braunias for something else. He tweeted the link to the Secret Diary of Hekia Parata, and in the tweet he said "Disclosure: I hate everything about her". At least he's being up-front about his dislike of Hekia Parata; perhaps some of his media colleagues might like to do likewise, instead of trying to pass themselves off as neutrals when their political preference is there for everyone to see.

Then they'd all have to admit that they had mad crushes on John Key and McCully was blackmailing them. You wouldn't like that.
When you say "At least he's being up-front about his dislike of Hekia Parata; perhaps some of his media colleagues might like to do likewise, instead of trying to pass themselves off as neutrals when their political preference is there for everyone to see." please can you give evidence of 'trying to pass themselves off as neutrals', and also examples of where 'their political preference is there for everyone to see', particularly over the past 7 years, so we can see them under different governments.
Just for true sake of facts and transparency...Thanks!
Don't be ridiculous anon. This is the internets, where evidence and truth take second place to truthiness, and thought is done, not with the mind, but with the guts.
What is your up-front assessment of John Key, PM, Inventory2?
Be up front, like Braunais, and tell us once and for all.
