... cool, those asterisks worked this time! A few hundred old people with political affiliations watching my doco, and suddenly I'm essentially public enemy number 1 for the right wing.

My schedule is more or less the same as the MPs, except I work fewer hours, and my non-politics time is spent writing and composing rather than whatever they do.

Visiting the South Island is on the priority list.
