Third Time Lucky - Yet Another Positive

Hard to believe I was hearing the selfsame "(Sir Peter) Jackson-hater", C.T.U. President Helen Kelly, on Mary Wilson's National Radio Evening Edition this Monday the 1st of October, telling Mary that, yes, there was nothing wrong, indeed it was a good thing in fact that our P.M. was currently 'doing the rounds' in the corridors of Hollywood promoting the New Zealand Film Industry. Certainly in said interview Ms Kelly maintained her stance on what had gone down around the special deal made with Warner Brothers over the Hobbit films saga back in 2010, and naturally, and reasonably, echoed generally aired media concerns over John Key's doing so now against the obvious immediate backdrop of the Kim Dotcom fiasco and links to those selfsame Hollywood studios. And I certainly cannot fault Ms Kelly's citing the Government's 'picking winners' yet simultaneously leaving Kiwi Rail out to dry, though a departing worker in town I chatted to yesterday informed me that local Dunedin South M.P. Clare Curran - Yours Truly stood against as an independent (believe it or not) candidate in 2008 - had grossly inflated the number of layoffs from the two he maintained had occurred...(Still, my money's with Ms Curran on that one, but perhaps I misheard him.)
