    An interesting letter. Good to see the Auditor General following up
    on issues such as this, and also making it public. I would imagine Sir
    Anand Satyanand was not impressed . . .

    It appears that Stephen 'pretty legal' Joyce helped the
    Vice-Chancellor, Neil Quigley, put together a political campaign to
    open up another medical school at Waikato University - timed nicely
    for the election . . . .

    "It appears" (lovely meaningless politcal phrase that) that Rich "I adore sarcasm" is desparate for something to criticise the government for.

    Can you rephrase that in non-passive-aggressive-ese?

    Of course I can, but choose not to.
    In addition to which I responded in kind, and perhaps if you tried just a tiny bit to be balanced, impartial and fair I might heed you but until then "whistling into the wind" comes to mind.
