Tory Destroyed
Wellington Mayor,Tory Whanau was hung out to dry by one of her favourite and most frequently visited Wellington restaurants just recently.
I cannot believe that a restaurant whose staff must know the Mayor from her frequency of visits and her profile would have treated her as a sacrificial meal and whose manager/owner was so willing to take the Mayor through the media wringer as he did.
Ok, so a bill was not paid by ANOTHER member of her twosome until the next day - on no prompting by the restaurant.
OK that the Mayor was tipsy/slightly drunk as the result of a kind of celebration of a successful major task for Wellington's benefit. Give her a lot of rope I would say and yes, just refrain from serving her and her friend any more alcohol but maybe offer to call her a cab.
It was shabby and un-neighbourly. Treating a young, hard working, vivacious woman the way this so called upmarket restaurant did.
Reminds me a little of the way another young woman of note was treated and who consequently suddenly resigned from NZ's top job. I hope Whanau stays the course not that I am a fan of some of the planks she stood for in her winning an election by a landside in trouncing dour, drab male opponents of little vision.

Biding Time - Time Out
It is so sad to see and hear an honest, solid achieving gentleman politician that is Joe Biden, the leader of the free world and the leader of the number one super power and economic giant nation, fail in mind and body so that he is no longer hanging on in facing the terror and threat of the appaulingTrump retaking the reigns of power.
Well before the presidents debate of a few days ago was it obvious Biden was not up to the mark anymore. The use of a telepronter made his recent State of the Union speech sound pitch perfect but his slip-up performances at the G7 meetings in Italy a few weeks ago was reported as pitiful
The sooner he calls it quits from contesting the Presidency and orchestrates the Vice President, Harris take over wiining the November elections for the Democrats, the better.
Make no mistake the writing is on the wall for Biden.
Whoever wins the USA presidency for the next 4 years from the start of 2025 - Harris or Trump - will affect NZ and Upper Hutt substantially.
Why are ghosts such bad liars?
