This article illustrates exactly why mainstream media is failing the country. Patsy, it seems, has an extraordinary grift, I mean gift, for reinventing her skills. This is the woman who's behind the Vision for Wellington team, who, along with Green Party donor James Cameron (the vegan from Hollywood is coming to save Wellington!) is going to resolve our city's problems. Excellent piece of research and writing, John.

So true, every word - but it put me off my breakfast. Perhaps Sean Plunkett can get Dame Patsy on The Platform to explain what she and all her underlings on the CC Commission actually do.

Brilliant. Reddy, Carr and their ilk achieve sweet fa so I’m constantly amazed that we keep putting them in such roles. Carr is a woke, useless academic who is simply not compatible with the real world. Maybe I’m just bitter cos he set up Wynyard Securities for failure after it was carved off from Jade. Or maybe he really is a supercilious, useless twat. Reddy is as effective as a handbrake in a canoe.

Keep up the great work.

ps Please stand for ACT in the next election. Parliament (& NZ) needs you!

pps I know, you’re likely too smart to do something that daft.

This needs to be published more widely but we know the general tax funded media won't do that.

God help us, It’s worse than I thought. I heard Rod Carr talking to Leighton Smith this week, as he desperately tried to talk up his last public role at the CCC before retirement. What a load of meaningless drivel, the CCC has effectively, and I mean effectively, achieved nothing. Not a bloody thing. What a colossal waste of hard earned tax millions. Some of these Public Ministries should be moved out of the Wellington Swamp and into the regions where the air is clearer and bullshit doesn’t stand. I can’t imagine that the CCC will change with Reddy at the helm, a continuing suck hole for taxpayer funding.

Very good article, so true! Very chilling though. Thank you for keeping it honest.

This is insane. She’s as big a traitor as Jacinda.
