| 682758 | 2008-06-26 23:24:00 | Nandor's farewell speech in parliament, imho, is superb. Generally I have not had a high regard for Nandor but what he says in his speech is from the heart and so true. Video here - well worth a watch: www.nzherald.co.nz For those on dial up, here are a few excerpts: "I came to Parliament thinking you're all a bunch of bastards," he told his colleagues. "And I was wrong. There are many good people here. The very notion that all politicians are dishonest is misconceived." "The danger is the system changes us as much as we change the system, if not more. And that's why I'm leaving. The problem isn't how many people enter this place with honest intentions, but how many leave with them intact." Mr Tanczos revealed he had avoided question time whenever he could. "It's a time when I'm most ashamed of being a member of Parliament," he said. "You all know what I'm talking about." That was a reference to the abusive shouting and bad behaviour that go on during question time. "We should grow up," he said. "This is our national legislature. We should treat it and the positions we hold with more respect." |

I didn't always agree with most of what he said, but I respect him for his pleasant manner when dealing with his detractors. He was also quite genuine in his beliefs on greenie matters. One of the characters of the place. First job Nandor, now that you have time - Get a No.1 haircut!! Ken :thanks |
