Oh how embarrassing, never underestimate the little guy. After all where would FE be without you know who from the little country at the bottom of the world

Haha! This is great! We probably won't be shown this clip on our evening news here in the US. So I am so glad you shared it!

It is clear that President Obama is making a straight-faced joke .... I can see it in his face. And he is aware of the sentiments Aussies and Kiwis have for each other. Close, but not so close. I love it!

Here on FE, we are, indeed, forever grateful for the courageous voices from the bottom of the world!

We hear you! Loud and clear!

True friends and allies! And we don't even play golf together!

Oh look a picture of Prime Minister John Key on the golf course. Is that his new chauffer with him? The face looks familiar, probably a Canadian

Shall we meet in Hawaii for a game of golf, it's about halfway

Hawaii would be a good place for that "Repentance Retreat" that never happened! No Executive Board members invited, right?

I'm confused, why are we repenting? I think I'm missing something here.

I don't really have any desire to meet with the NTM leadership, it's really to late now for half hearted apologies and crocodile tears, far to late.

But a round of golf in Hawaii sounds good to me, if Raz eats rice for a week she can shout me a trip.

It's the leaders who have to repent!
But no one can make anyone else repent, so it's kind of worthless.
But Hawaii does sound nice!
And now I understand how the grammar must have come about
When someone says "Me and so and so did such and such."
They weren't allowed to say "I!"

But didn't I read that 100 leaders went to Bangkok for a big conference a while back? What was that all about and if they can find all that cash to go to one of the best places in the world for a Red Light district, why didn't they invest in a bit of repentance, which is what GRACE recommended and they paid GRACE to recommend to them.

This is just one big mess that gets worse and worse.

Yes, apparently there was a meeting in Thailand of a large number of NTM leaders (and leaders of groups who used to be NTM, are claiming they are not NTM but have their staff listed as NTM on their websites).
Given the advent of Skype and e-mail, it seemed a rather interesting major expense.

My gut says it is what we know as a "junket". Where politicians are rewarded for their loyalty with overseas trips to conferences and meetings that are of dubious value. I can't help get the impression that NTM is emptying it's coffers, so it can claim it has nothing to meet legal judgements that go against it.

Oh well, to fund that extravagance, Raz, Mr Raz and all the Razettes would be eating rice for 10 years .

Thank you for that explanation.

I am inclined to agree with those observations. Very poor stewardship.
