Looks likeable – well presented, but has yet to show that he has anything going on in his brain.
A good Maori MP then.

I worked with him a few years back – he may be quiet, but he is decent and intelligent.

“I’ve kind of liked… I’ve got a bit of respect for…” Not very committal is he?

He is a quiet guy – not showy in the slightest. But he is a really genuine guy with a lot of intelligence and depth of character. I just hope he gets a shot at the Maori party leadership.

Do you have a bill in the private members bill ballot? Yes. It would give iwi, hapu and whanau ~~a veto right for all permits approved under the Crown Minerals Act and establish a joint management committee with the applicants if they are successful in getting a permit~~further apartheid-based privileges.

He’s as quiet as a mouse, unless that’s only in Auckland? never hear so much as a peep from him in media or even at the water cooler with colleagues.

I’d give Flavell a 2/10 as a politician.

His private bill and his liking of Nick Smith disqualify this trougher on the spot!
