Whoops!

Demonstrating how slippery the moral high ground can be, the Domion Post has reported that Don Brash’s car also may have breached traffic regulations, taking him to the rugby match.

Just as the heat may come off Clark though, she puts her foot in it by suggesting she should have a private plane, stating “I shouldn’t be put in the position where people are complaining about the mode of transport”.

Also Clark appears to have stated she would rather be at home reading a book than attending the a rugby test, which does raise the question of why she attends? McCully has a view.

People may also be interested in the exact law covering this. Section 21(11) of the Traffic Regulations 1978 state:

“It shall be a defence to any person charged with an offence against this regulation if he proves that he was, at the time of the act in respect of which he is so charged, the driver of a motor vehicle

    Strangely enough I don’t think the idea of the Prime minister having a plane available is that stupid. We have a long narrow country that is a hassle to travel around.

    It doesn’t have to be a 737 or anything large. A small commuter twin engine turbo prop would do the job nicely. It should be reasonably cost effective

    I can hardly wait for the next McCully shock exclusive: Maybe “PM doesn’t enjoy pro wrestling much,” or perhaps, “Helen’s shock revelation: I prefer the ballet to lumberjack contests.”

    Please, all us right-wing bloggers should pay for Helen to have her own plane, as long as we retain naming and advertising rights. Broomstick One has a nice ring…
