As Darleen Tana continues her "woe is me, I have been wronged” roadshow, we might look to a bit of history for advice, or instruction. We have been here before. I believe it began with Alamein Kopu many years back, another woman with very similar grievances to Tana. For Alamein it wasn't fair, woe is me and I'm hard done by. She was part of the alliance in the early days of MMP when these new list members rolled into Parliament on nothing more than a party's whim and set about causing trouble.

The Governmental disappointment of the week for me was the announcement of a panel that will look into retail crime. It will take two years. It isn't necessary to gather people to take two years to come up with ideas on what to do with retail crime. Retail crime isn't cancer. It is a form of societal cancer, but it's not a complex issue the answer to which is only to be found in a lab requiring deep and detailed investigation. What this announcement is, dare I say it, is the Labour Government

He says neither does it address the big increases in demand and risk, and the complexity of the role. Cahill says other
