Invercargill's National Party candidate toasted


Out-going MP for Invercargill, Eric Roy, drinks a toast to incoming National Party candidate Sarah Dowie, from her petite shoe!
Ms Dowie in turn, downs a hefty draft from Mr Roys size-15 boot, in the time-honoured National Party change-over tradition. She later commented that the toast had carried quite a sock! Mr Roy responded by saying that while Ms Dowie's shoe hadn't offered much by way of volume, it had plenty of soul.

Can't see a broken -down school teacher, greenie taking the electorate from a cutie like that but it is Invercargill so may the best girl win

@Ray, "Broken-down", I choose a different career path after 34 years in the classroom and you think I am a physical and emotional wreck? I am energized and determined and have a lot of support from the education sector! Perhaps you see Robert as a broken down teacher as well?

And your reference to Sarah as "a cutie" is quite condescending and sexist, but I guess some people place value on the strangest things when voting...

Aren't solicitors, Ray, like lawyers, commonly regarded as the most despised of people, (aside from politicians?)

Dave, chillax! You're a cutie too!

In any case, I'm definitely a broken-down school teacher. You have to get to that state before you really understand what education really means.

As a 5 ft 4, natural blonde, self employed professional, married woman with children and volunteer experience I’m expecting a call from Regional Chair Ele any day now. I tick SO many National party candidate selection boxes that I expect she’ll overlook my greenie red leanings and snap me up. In case Ele reads this, I also have experience in church readings, can bake awesome double choc chip muffins and sing in tune.

Clutha/Southland's up for grabs, Viv!
If it means my joining the local Nat branch in order to cast the vote that puts you in, I'll do it!
Let me know.

Good to see ACT policies coming out. Three strikes for burglary. Cant have people thinking they are Robin Hood and stealing off the rich. Gotta get the priorities right. Should just have a three word manifesto. ME ME ME.
Should be a good election if the Nats are putting their money on cuties but spose Key is a prima donna and thats worked to date

Matt McCarten, Philip - whadda ya reckon? He's slaying them already!

"Key promotes a man for his Cabinet who doubts Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, or another who thinks incest is just dandy. There’s a lurch alright, into nuttiness."

"Nuttiness". Gold nugget, right there.
