Obviously, Tories cannot abide poor folk and their elected representatives becoming ‘uppity’ and above their ‘station’ in life. This public excoriation of Ms Turei is the Tory way of telling some stroppy “n—-r” to get back in line.
All dressed up as “political argy-bargy”, to make it seem like Parliamentary business-as-usual.
The Tories won’t be happy until Turei (and poor folk) dress accordingly,

Yes, that’s one thing to be thankful for!
Nice to see your blog still contributing to the political dialogue Frank!
As for Collins – she is evil. She represents everything nasty, selfish, and closed-minded about the Tories. She is another Jenny Shipley , and god help us if voters are stupid enough to elect her.
Karma bit Collins on her ass well and truly.
Good riddance to rubbish.
