You are at it again, Rg!

Key's assurances that New Zealanders shouldn't worry their pretty selves over yellow cake, is worthy of comment, Fred. Mr Smile, Slash and Wave's pacifying words don't wash with me.

Ok - I'll bite. In what context, where, and to whom - please,Rg.

TV3 news tonight. Key was asked whether the fact that ships passing through our waters and potentially our ports carrying nuclear reactor-bound yellow-cake, was a concern. A shoulder-shrug and a garbled, 'nu zealners have nothing to be cerned about' and ol' smile, slash and wave bounced onto his next fluffy sound-bite.
TV3 though, thought it worthwhile finding out what the Harbourmaster thought, and he wasn't a ditzy cloud-hopper, and therefore had legitimate concerns about his port's lack of preparedness for such a spill. Made our PM look and sound like a show-pony with cotton-wool for brains.
How's that for unbiased reporting, Fred!

I cannot comment as I don't watch Tv3 - but your account sounds biased to this ol' farmer.

Get away with ya!

It's true fred and I didn't even see it :)

It's also clear to clear-eyed commentators such as Marty and I, that the many hundreds of bottles of Astrolabe wine packed into containers on the Rena, were bound for Key's Hawaiian mansion's cellar, hence his furrowed brow.

Ah! I get it now, A green perpetrated hoax that unwitting commenters fall for. Clever indeed.
Note to self: watch for subtle nuances in seemingly serious posts.

robertguyton said...

Nah, Fred.
Key said it.
He's so arrogant that he misses issues that people have real concern about.

It's okay fred, the thing is key's yellow cake, like his yellow snow should not be eaten.

- watch for serious nuances in seemingly subtle posts may be an even better note to yourself, that's the one I use, especially with Rob.
