Heatley’s probably been given the tip it’s time to go — it’s not good to have ex-ministers on the backbenches looking for trouble. Wilkinson’s more problematic, because depending on boundary shifts will she be needed/wanted to run against Cosgrove?

Will a circle of ravens fly above the grave? Is this why Brownlee has suspended democracy in Canterbury?

Whangarei’s a safe seat for National. I wonder if they’ll try to select Heatley out, or keep him on another term as a backbencher.

“I am writing this post in December, but have timed it to come up today as our political class is back to work, and the political year is starting with the first sitting of Parliament tomorrow.”
