Red Alert

Best wishes to Tau Henare

Posted by Kelvin Davis on June 22nd, 2010

Just thought I’d post some best wishes to Tau Henare who is recuperating in hospital from a heart attack. He fessed up to reading Red Alert so I know he’ll see this.

The rumours that he really booked himself in for liposuction and stomach stapling because he was scared he’d lose the $20 Biggest Loser bet are untrue.

All the best for a speedy recovery Tau. With Hone now in charge of the Maori Affairs Select Committee anything could (and probably will) happen.

You know all those things you’ve told him he can’t do? Well he’s in charge now.

We’ll try not to leave too much of a mess for you to mop up when you come back.

    Are you trying to give him a second heart attack? :)

    We assume national will appoint some one to replace Tau that is NOT Hone

    Deputy Chair takes over, Nats put another member onto committee to rebalance numbers.

    But notwithstanding well publicised differences Tau is a likeable rogue and I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

    Drop some beef mate and we can be in the same weight group for our next round – on a bike.

    Yes. Can only sympathise with a bloke whose health is a problem. Hope that he is soon fit and well to fight another day.

    Offensive deleted warning Trevor

  6. Best of luck Tau, and to your whanau at a worrying time.

    Tau:

    More parties than a rock star…

    More lives than a cat..!

    Best of luck with your recovery… Quit the booze and cigs – you won’t regret it..!

    Hey Tau
    Have been out of action today, so just got to this. If you’re reading this get yourself better. Whatever it takes. Thoughts

    Well our Public Health System can’t be that bad after all if an MP goes into it for life threatening treatment. Maybe if Labour were still steering the ship it would have been better to be treated by the SPCA, not the funds plundered health system.
    Anyway best of luck Tau in a speedy recovery.

    Beepee go clean up that oil spill, and hurry up about it we don’t have months.

    Loota – side issue….have you seen the Trade Me ad for the “Patented Underwater Oil Vent Containment”…aka a plug!

    In terms of Mr Henare – scary times. All the best for a speedy recovery…

  12. Loota says:

    Rebecca – yeah Trademe, hilarious, I actually put a bid on it at something like $10 or $12 and someone insta-bidded me out. Bummed!

    Heart attacks are very unpleasant events, recovery to full strength takes a fair while too even all going well. Best wishes Mr Henare, make sure you take it easy now so you can go hard later.
