Great description and summary of the feeling in the air! Had my chuckle but also could taste the sour taste of the atmosphere in the dungeon that TVNZ had dug (fearing fallout?). I could only manage to watch about 20 minutes. I couldn't stand any more of Judith rolling her eyes and scoffing and being patronising. This is so not New Zealand anymore. This is Muldoon era behaviour. This is grumpy, pale, stale male behaviour. She will appeal to people with a massive chip on their shoulder, to conspiracy theorists, to people whose values have no resemblance to mine. She is simply awful.
Those camera angles were a shocker. Worked against the PM delivering effectively to engage a tv audience. Collins got the advantage from being able to look directly at camera, showing her newly botoxed self off nicely, leaving her eyebrows fixed in lie brow mode.
Thanks for the laughs, David. For the only time in recent years that I can remember I watched a live TV show too. Was certainly interesting seeing Judith’s facial expressions! Anyway, I’m most happy to be subscribing to your daily column + 1!
Thank you for the round up of the debate. I couldn't bring myself to watch Judith. I think Jacinda knew she just had to give her an opportunity to show her true colours and remain dignified. Looking forward to Monday. $7.99 for a month of your musings is the best money I've spent all year.
You didn't hear the Leader if the Opposition exclaim "f..k" then? I did, I replayed it a few times to make sure. So did a few other people in a FB group I might belong to...
