Oia School Request Overload

yeah I agree with you Andy thank you very much mate look after yourself that's Andy England who's the Darfield High School principal look I probably can't reveal too much because I don't think it's going to come to anything, but also, you know, I can't say very much, but have been sort of like half-heartedly doing a bit of digging and other people have been doing a bit of digging on a thing and there was an OIA that went out, Official Information Act request, and somebody called me today and said, I've got my response back. And yeah, nah, not going to get any information because apparently it's too far gone history and so they just can't be bothered finding it. It just, it never turns up anything of any value. Like the number of times it has, I think you could probably count on one hand as a practising journalist. Listen back to the National Party. Stuart Smith, who's the National Party whip, who was the one at the centre of the Thomas Coghlan story on Friday, you know, he who apparently had tried to get in touch with the Prime Minister and then hadn't been able to get in touch with the Prime Minister and then the whole thing blew up. Stuart Smith has finally turned up at Parliament and spoken to the media for the first time and he's denied it all over again, denied that he tried to alert the Prime Minister to waning caucus support. Probably, which is not really a surprise or even that interesting, but the most interesting thing is that he appeared to have been hiding from the media in Gerry Brownlee's office. And it may have been that some media were filming in places they shouldn't have been filming. Yeah, but Stuart, who has been hiding from the media since Friday, just took one last chance to hide from the media again in Jez's office, 16 past 4.
