Interested to know how others feel about the PM's "arrogant prick" comment towards Seymour. To quote a fictional character: "You may think I believe it to be an absolutely true description - but I couldn't possibly comment" Well - she had the grace to apologise so I suppose did the right thing. But I tend to share that view of David Seymour, & he must be quite irritating to have to work with.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
I know she was mumbling under her breath but I think I would have expected better from a PM. But then again it is just a big kindergarten up there sometimes

It is not offensive if it is true, surely?

There’s virtually no punishment anymore in the so called Western Democracies for telling lies
In fact it gets you “ahead in life “ or even wins Elections You apologize when you speak the truth Strangetimes

David Seymour asked a fair question and the fairy princess couldn't answer it without a lot of gobbledygook, and she still didn't answer it and then had the cheek to call him that, pot calling kettle black if you ask me.

While David Seymour on the other hand is so very out of touch that he's said that, if ACT has any involvement in the next govt, he wants to 'trim benefits.'

just watched the questions, I think the PM handled herself fine, not sure what all the hoo-ha is about.
Seymour was certainly being an interesting person.

I asked my other half if he thought David Seymour was an arrogant prick. I was interested in his opinion, as he has worked with many, many poli's over the years. He is also certainly no fan of Act. His response when I asked him, was, " No, not at all. He is not a prick. He is actually quite self depreciating .
Interesting.

" self depreciating". Trying to work out what this means; my guess is "lowering one's own value". If this is what you mean then I agree.

Self deprecation can be an assumed habit, designed to do exactly the opposite.
I think Seymour is clever. Being a prick can be an aspect of cleverness, in man or woman. Or cat...

I havent been following the story much, what exactly did he ask her? Something he said must have rattled her. Either way, it looks like they have made amends, they have just listed a jointly signed transcript of the recording on trademe!

Thats the whole thing that was spoken but you may have to enlarge it to read.
