Double dipton on public service ethics

Posted by on December 11th, 2009

Have been looking for a copy of the speech he gave.

Unusually not available on government website – wonder why.

Apparently didn’t mention housing rip off and was very unhappy when it was raised in the first question.

Link to the conference.

    I’m thinking he is exemplary and a paragon of what *not* to do when it comes to public service ethics.

    Everything is teaching us.

    Just so someone knows, for some reason the doomsday post above doesn’t open. Probably too evil for this blog. :-(

    Cheers Spud, fixed now.

    Spud – I read an article you might find interesting, from which I quote:

    “What is it about the emoticon that fills me with such loathing? Maybe it’s the wastefulness of the enterprise, the redundancy of it, the implied lack of confidence in the writer’s ability to communicate, or mine to comprehend.”

  6. Spud says:

    LOL :-D – Well people with that opinion are in the minority, which is why emoticons are available in emails etc. I can understand where they’re coming from, but I really wish you’d give them a chance, Banksie. I got really excited when Marayn Street used one this morning. :-)

    They aren’t redundant to us users, they enhance the text because it makes up for not being able to see the faces of the writer. I don’t doubt your or anyone else’s ability to comprehend.

    Seriously, give them a chance, they are a lot of fun. :-D

    Did I catch a glimpse of Double Dipton donating a few cans of creamed corn to the city mission on Breakfast TV this morning? He’s got balls, alright. Not sure about the brains, though.

    To be fair, those tins of food are more than he has done for most NZers – except himself, of course. Shame the people in in Dipton won’t get to enjoy the budget peach slices.

    @Jennifer – first cream the taxpayers, then donate a few cans of creamed corn (verify he paid for them or he was just handing them out?) ?
