When The Honourable David Carter took the speakers seat following one of the very best “Mr Speaker” ever in Lockwood Smith, the various masters of destruction sneered at Carter who had no University “colours” to wear and adopted a little feather shoulder adornment as an attempt to dress for the role.
I note the latest attempt to fill the office as Prime Minister when attending the Coronation wore something similar, almost to an untrained eye a replica in fact and suddenly the chook feathered adornment became “a cultural acknowledgement”.

No Minister 
Was he the same David Carter that the National elite blocked from joining the Auckland Branch?
The same man who would have bought years of Parliamentary experience to that branch and the Party
The same man, if not blocked by a nasty piece of back room knife sticking, may have helped bring sense to the party, better choice of candidates and a party philosophy more rooted in its traditions.
That man probably has more political sense in his little finger than Luxon, the parachutist, will ever acquire.
