Michael and the Bad News Bunny

Michael Laws, Mayor, Wanganui
Wanganui mayor Michael Laws rubbed his eyes and realised it was Easter. He leapt out of bed and raced out to the lounge to see what the Easter Bunny had brought him. Then he remembered he was supposed to have a broken toe so he stopped, hopped up and down and cursed a couple of times because his kids were threatening to dob him in with Women’s Daze.

But there it was! He could barely contain his excitement! A big Easter Egg in a special box with HIS name on it. Shoving the kids out of his way and shouting something about every parents’ right to smack, his trembling fingers grabbed the gift tag on his Egg. To Michael, from the Local Government Commission is what it said.

"Well, that’s about time," he thought to himself. "They’ve left it till the last minute and Bob’s getting all antsy. But here it is, time to really stick it to those anti-democracy whingers and nutters who reckon Wangas need all the non-Vision councillors it can get."

He ripped away the foil wrapping and bashed the giant egg on the hearth. It shattered into dozens of pieces and out fell the Local Government Commission Determination of representation arrangements for the election of the Wanganui Distsrict Council to be held on 13 October 2007.

His eyes darted through the 14 pages... 91 written submissions... 11 oral presentations... 37 appeals! "So what?!", he screamed. That meant nothing compared to HIS referendum and he'd done a fine job of abusing those malcontents who objected to him chopping the council down to size in the best interests of Michael Laws. Of course, the Local Government Commission would see it his way.

Tearing off page by page and flinging them round the room, he got to page 13. Commission’s Determination. He read on... No (2) was all that mattered.

(2) The Council shall comprise the mayor and 12 councillors, elected by the electors of the district as a whole.

He couldn’t believe his eyes! The fools! The bastards! How DARE they meddle in his town! How dare they listen to those malcontents! He stamped his foot a couple of times and then... It happened! All his fury became channelled into his foot. It lashed out and hit the hearth with the full force of a man thwarted.

"My God!" he screamed, "I've broken my toe!"

Watchers can find the full determination here at the Local Government Commission website. Pages 6 & 7 in particular show that the Commission took the submitters / appellants views on Mickey's referendum misinformation more seriously than it did his grandstanding and abuse. Some excerpts:

We understand that councillors do not have the ability to decline the salary determined by the Remuneration Authority. We agree with appellants / objectors who said that the alleged advantage of a reduced number of councillors was erroneous... Some appellants said that some councillors and the Mayor had not engaged in the representation review process in an open and transparent manner, instead deferring to the referendum results. We note that the High Court has ruled that the weight of numbers in favour of a particular position cannot be a mandatory consideration for it, and that a single submission may, in itself, provide sufficient material for the Commission to reach a decision...

We are satisfied that Referendum '06 ultimately formed a small part of the Council’s formal representation review process.
Happy Easter reading, Watchers!

Okay, we’ve had enough of anonymickey defending the floaters at Guyton St who have risen to the surface and bobbed about on Mickey’s sewage pond, or those like Warbuton et al who have been sucked into the diVision pipeline. Here’s Mickey sharing his programme for world domination with Jane Clifton in the Listener:

“….. Laws has some pretty macho ideas about other aspects of local authority governance … he believes in not only going in mob-handed politically, but in purging the bureaucracy of everyone but those who support the ruling ticket.
“I am such a fan of the American system where, when the government goes out, so do all the heads of departments, and only people who actively support the new government get those jobs in the bureaucracy.”

From what i've read Laws got half his way - he now has abolished the rural ward and there are 'at large' elections.

The whole 10 v 12 debate was silly because it could not lessen or enhance a bloc like Vision. They win 6 or 7 seats and still command the majority.

So let's put two and two together...Mickey was trying to do a bit of money laundering.

The problem with my comment is, it's a matter of: "We know everything, but, we can prove nothing."

Which gets little Mickey and many corrupt politicians that "coat of "Teflon"" to any accusations. But, in time they screw up and get caught.

In the case of the LGC report. The LGC applied the mechanism that are in place to keep corrupt politicians like Mickey in check.

I commend the LGC in being honest enough to enforce that mechanism.

Now, about Vision still having the of members....

That problem, precipitated from the majority of individuals that elected to put those Vision personnel in Council seats.

So you might want to have a "witch hunt" and draw and quarter those people and not --totally-- blame those Vision councillors for their lack of competence and/or lack of intestinal fortitude (guts) to standup against the Mad Mayor Michael Laws (Mickey) of Wanganui.

In answer to anon 9:18 pm April 06.

No, Mickey should resign because he's been caught out in a public lie. Your comment changes the subject then hurls abuse, which means you concede the point, and is remarkably similar to the way your worthless mayor behaves.

If you agree with Mickey, he and Uwe Kroll should resign. Personally I think Kroll should stay where he is: who cares what Michael Laws thinks?

For Laws, OTOH, the lie is a tactic, a typical populist deceit. Those who support him do so not because of his much flaunted "integrity", which is non-existent, but because of his guile.

Yes, that's right folks. Michael Brian Laws, mayor of Wanganui, is rotten to the core. And his breath smells like shit.

Anonymous said...

Lawswatch, your job is too damn easy. You do a story predicting Mickey will resort to abusing the LGC and … he does, at 9.18pm (and then tries to cover his ass and change the subject at 9.19 and 10.13).

It’s hardly rocket science predicting how a psychopath will react when he’s caught out but why oh why does Mickey play right into LW’s hands like this? It’s like shooting a puffer fish in a barrel! But well done anyway on a good story.

Anonymous said...

Yes, this is not the 'victory' that is portrayed.

The mayor got his way which was at large elections and he successfully misdirected the attention by raising the councilor reduction debate. It was classic illusionist politics and we fell for it.

Having two more or two less councilors would not enhance or lessen a bloc's voting power. On an analysis of the last election it makes it easier for Vision to get their candidates elected in 2007, because they need less votes.

I wonder if we will still feel pleased when Vision get the council majority when they get elected the 11th and 12th ranking candidates?

Anonymous said...

LW, in relation to this morning's Chronicle article, can you please send an email to John Campbell from TV3 asking him to run an addendum item that points out Mickey's lies regarding the 300+ gang related incidents in the CBD. It turns out the number of 'concern' is only 7, over three years.

Thanks.

In response to 10:13pm, how are Vision going to win 6 or 7 seats with Sue Pepperell gone and Dot and Nicki hinting strongly about jumping ship. I wonder if Vision's ad attracted any suckers. That seemed like a pretty desperate move to me. I'm thinking his ugliness is going to have to run for council to keep the numbers up. Wouldn't it be a buzz to have a chance to discard him from the town well and truly by rejecting him for both council and the health board.

Anonymous said...

In light of the two articles published in the Wanganui Chronicle:

"Crime stats show gangs a serious problem here, says Laws

04.04.2007 "


AND

"Retailers say: What gang problem?

07.04.2007
By MERANIA KARAURIA


THERE were only seven reported gang incidents involving the police in the Wanganui central business district between 2004 and 2006, and business owners are worried about the damage being done to the city’s reputation by erroneous reporting."

Based on these conflicting articles, especially the statement by Rob Vinsen in the 07.04.2007 article;

"Mr Vinsen was concerned Mayor Michael Laws and Whanganui MP Chester Borrows had both perpetuated the myth that entering Wanganui’s central city was a dangerous activity."

PLUS

“On Campbell Live Mr Laws quoted the misleading police report that listed the 334 gang incidents."

___________________________________

OK...Let's have some fun.

Let's keep the word "misleading" in mind.

Misleading being defined as:

transitive verb : to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit.

And, let's use the word, "Coerce"

Coerce being defined as:

2 : to compel to an act or choice (was coerced into agreeing)


Now that the statge is set. Let's get into the "meat" of the Code of Conduct.

__________________________________

"This Code of Conduct provides guidance on the standard of behavior expected of the Chairman and members of the Wanganui Rual Community Board. The Code applies to members in the dealings with:

* the general public

We will use in this matter.


Continuing on......

"This Code of Conduct is based on the following principles of good governance:

* Honesty and integrity- members must show honesty and integrity at all times"

In this matter.

Analysis:

Mickey and Chester Burrows are both acting in concert in misleading the Wanganui citizens through fear, to coerce them to approve and support the Mayor to implementing, A bylaw banning gang insignia.

That's the same tactic that George W. Bush used to fool the American people to approve and support Bush in launching the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

The problem Mickey has is that the gang members are New Zealand citizens and are covered under the BoRA 1990. Providing they have not been caught committing any crimes.

Remember this Mickey? "Innocent until proven guilty"

NOT the other way around.

Futhermore Mickey, I haven't seen any articles in the Wanganui Chronicle that mentions you speaking to the gang leaders.

What's the matter Mickey, are you scared of the gangs? Some city leader you are.

Thanks ML for telling all of NZ that Wanganui is Gang City Central, and on national tv, now thats great advertising, waving papers hysterically in the air saying that there are some 300 odd police reports relating to gang activity, wow Wanganui is a really dangerous place. I thought he wanted people to visit here, why would they now. Thanks R Vinsen for really telling it like it is. For those who say 'at least hes putting Wanganui on the map', at what cost?

Well, I like to show Mickey he isn't as intelligent as he claims to be.

As a matter of fact, Mickey's intelligence is quite mediocre.

However, it's his egocentric attitude that surpasses everyone.

In addition, that Mickey is just another corrupt politician. The sooner a vast majority of the citizens realise this, the sooner it would be wise to keep Mickey Mouth out of the WDC and WDHB.

Should the ignorant majority elect Mickey as Mayor again, as a Wanganui Councillor, or staff member of the Wanganui DHB.

You can bet that Mickey Mouth will let the whole country know (on RadioLive) how screwed up Wanganui is.

If Mickey really doesn't stand for mayor (we'll believe it when we see after October Mickey); Do you really think Mickey could care less whether visitors come to Wanganui or not?

Remember folks, Mickey makes big money being a talkback host whether he's Wanganui's mayor or not. He's pretty well set for life financially while he is residing in Wanganui.

A majority of Wanganui citizens earn meager wages that are a fraction to what Mickey earns. And, still will be earning meager wages should Mickey not be mayor.

So, do you honestly believe that Mickey could give a care in the world about the rest of you folks?

C'mon, the answer to that is NO.

The New Zealand Government will continue to fleece more money from the people. Petrol prices will not return to $1.08/litre. If the ignorant majority of Wanganui citizens vote for anything other than the "status quo" on the Heart of Wanganui project (Wanganui will really be screwed financially).

Mickey will sit back in his nice home with his big money job as a talkshit host...I mean talkback host. sucking on a pina colada (should be, penis alotta) and wondering how the poor people are doing.

Still, she may be stooped but she still manages to make Mental Muzza look good when it comes to trying to earn brownie points by writing trashy letters for their boss. Does Pep’s move to H Bay rule her out for letter writing, Mickey? Of course, there’s always Stand-by-my-man Leo to call out of retirement.

Hell, you just described Mickey's Wanganui Mayoral Administration.

I have a little project for you should you decide on investing some money to make my point...totally up to you though.

Go to that bookstore on Ridgway Street. The nearest cross street is the Victoria Ave. roundabout. It is a bookstore/post shop that is near the MoreFM Wanganui radio station at 53 Ridgway St.

Purchase all five volumes of "Memories of Old Wanganui".

Review the pictures and captions in all the volumes. Have a realistic and logical think of what to observed and read. Then ask yourself (realistically): Can and will Wanganui actually be able to return back to the "luster" it was before, now, in the 21th century? In three years?

I don't know what your answer will be, but, my answer is NO.

And before you ask... Yes, I own all five volumes of "Memories of Old Wanganui"

Also, a "hot head" talkback host who is presently mayor of Wanganui is NOT going to restore Wanganui to a 21th Century equivalent of what Wanganui use to be, period.

I agree with you to a certain extent.

EXCEPT

There is, "people power" in October. And, with the recent LGC determination.

That idiot Mickey can be beaten and broken. He mostly does that to himself.

Laws Watch is a "watchdog" entity to ensure Mickey goes down when he is wrong and taking advantage of his fellow New Zealanders.

Furthermore, running a city is like having a business, what you financially reduce or eliminate in one area, you have to increase in another area to balance the books.

Unless you've made a hugh profit and/or gained enough profit to expand your business

NOT... "cook the books".

So at what cost will it affect Wanganui ratepayers to have it's rates maintained to be reduced?

Especially when the Mad Mayor Mickey Mouth "sugar coats" the Heart of Wanganui project and displays "eye lollies" on the WDC website around to all trusting and unsuspecting citizens.


In mentioning that.....

Its about time that those that still cling to DiVision realised thats exactly what it represents is division- the reason being that ML isn't that bright and never reads the small print- rushes in without doing his homework and when it becomes clear that there is nothing in it for him promptly changes tact to whatever is the current flavour.

Except of course for the flatfooted pigeon-toed Wanganui Wanker with his gaping gob botoxed into the wide-mouthed leer of an oversexed smutty little schoolboy (to quote one learned judge). The fact that he was the biggest loser by a country mile was almost irrelevant.

What an embarrassment for the fair city of Wanganui. Mickey even managed to make Paul Holmes look good!!

Next time you’re getting your big toe checked, Mickey, how about getting them to wire up your jaw. The day you manage to keep it shut for more than 1m 30secs will be a great day, and not just for your dancing chances. Oh, and find yourself another makeup person, and see if you can get a refund on the facial botox experiment.

Anon at 10:47pm, the definition of boring is worrying about the exact number of PAs that have been reduced to tears by the Mayor's abuse and bullying. The point is that the Mayor is an abusive bully - let's worry about that! Not to mention the corruption, dishonesty and lack of integrity.

The truth is I could tell you about not one, not two, not three and so on, instances where the Mayor has visibly upset Council staff members. But that would reveal my identity and could cost me my job. Sad isn't it?

Perhaps the best take on it all comes from Mickey quoted in Womens Weekly quoted on Stuff:

The truth is that the mayor has only ever had one PA - Ngaire Ellwood - and the two of them get on like a house on fire.

Well said, the poster is either mickey/ngaire or only works mornings, wednesdays and the other times that ML is a no-show. As someone has rightly pointed out, the second poster did not say 3 "PAs". All the staff know what happened to Helen Lawrence and the 4 hour replacement. Other staff with no direct connection to the Mayoral office have also been abused and bullied into doing his dirty work and/or leaving.

If this person is, as they claim, a WDC employee then perhaps the recruitment processes need examining as they obviously have the awareness and peripheral vision of a carpet slipper.

Ngaire apparently leaving for legitimate reasons, nothing to do with ML.

Best Dancing With the Stars moment: Criticising Wanganui Mayor Michael Laws' gaping-mouthed debut, judge Alison Leonard likened his performance to that of a horny teenager. Laws suggested she had a dirty mind. "We should get on well then," she quipped back pointedly.

And from Granny Herald's entertainment section:

Laws may have gained sympathy from the other three judges, performing with two broken bones in his big right toe after an accident during practice, but the Australian-born Revel Horwood pulled no punches after Laws' opening routine.

"It was completely flat-footed all the way through, pigeon-toed in most places, you are raising your shoulders, your mouth was gaping open, catching blowflies. It was appalling."

Dumbo Dotty Defames Commissioners

Deputy Mayor Dot McKinnon today accused members of the Local Government Commission of bias in their deliberations on the makeup of WDC.

In her weekly column, known universally as "Dotty's Drivel" she claims that: "Having sat through the submissions and the comments and questions from the Commissioners, I could see that they had an agenda."

The Auditor General's office treats matters of conflict of interest seriously. They have this to say:

"To determine if bias exists, consider this question: Is there, to a reasonable, fair-minded and informed observer, a real danger of bias on the part of a member of the decision making body, in the sense that he or she might unfairly regard (with favour or disfavour) the case of a party to the issue under consideration?
The question is not limited to actual bias, but relates to the appearance or possibility of bias. This is in line with the principle that justice should not only be done, but should be seen to be done. Believing yourself to be not biased is irrelevant."

Perhaps the Watchers would like to make sure that the Auditor General and the Commissioners are made aware of Dotty's defamatory remarks. :)

Yep, putting Wanganui on the map and representing Wanganui as a retard.

Don't sweat the small stuff, Anon.

Just ring your vote for anyone other than Mickey, (Mickey will have an "uphill battle" trying to prove it otherwise), we all know he can't dance already. Mickey even said so.

The judges will do their job to eliminate him, soon or later, for any poor performance Mickey displays. It's as simple as that....

Until then we'll all have a good time watching Mickey continue on making an arse out of himself nationwide. And, the journalists can earn their keep writing about the clown of DWTS in their newspapers for us all to keep for prosperity. Those articles will be useful come October.

No one is "playing into Mickey's hands".

Mickey would be better off dropping out to better his chances, on staying on DWTS. Rather than proving time and time again, not only to Wanganui, but to the whole nation of New Zealand, that Mickey is certainly NOT mayor material, let alone "dancing" material.

I mean let's face it. Would you elect a clumsey fool that breaks his toe in two places, at dance rehearsals of all places, NOT in any body contact sport whatsoever, but trying to dance. And, let's add corrupt politician with his mistress, Antoinette Beck, caught "red handed" with his hands in the bikkie jar. Plus, Mickey ended getting his hands slapped and forced to resign for his little stunt. Just to add a few to his list of accolades. Oh, we can't forget to add Mickey having BAD BREATH too.

Mickey would fit in seamlessly with the George W. Bush Administration.

Hell, Mickey is even proving Tim Shadbolt right when Mickey tried to slam Tim.

An excerpt from the Wanganui Chronicle:

___________________________________

"Dancing in Tim's shoes"

10.03.2007
By JOHN MASLIN

"....But he (Michael Laws) will not recant on his stinging criticism of Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt, the man who took ballroom dancing to interesting levels in the first Dancing with the Stars competition in 2005."

"“This wasn’t about dancing in Tim’s case. He had so engineered the vote that the dancing was irrelevant,” Mr Laws said."

"But Mr Shadbolt said Mayor Laws needs to go back to his calculator."

"“The whole of Southland only represents three percent of the New Zealand total so it would be very hard to influence an outcome where there’s a million people watching the show,” he said."


"And as a seasoned dance star Mayor Tim had some sage advice for Mayor Michael."

"“The dancing skills are half the battle, but marketing is the other half. He’ll have to swallow his pride and get out to schools and old folks’ homes and market himself. And it just wasn’t Southland. We were dancing all over the country.”"
________________________________

What's that that comes around and bites you in the ass, Mickey?

I like to say...."What comes around, goes around, and payback is a motherfu*ker."


It's a shame that we can't stop Mickey from contributing any further into the gene pool.

King of Tonga abuse, Hospital scaremongering, Mickey's Code of Conduct abuse, Gang scaremongering ... and now the biggest disaster of them all, the smutty little schoolboy's scary showing on Dancing with the Losers.

Here's Mickey and Mas last month:
But he will not recant on his stinging criticism of Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt, the man who took ballroom dancing to interesting levels in the first Dancing with the Stars competition in 2005.
“This wasn’t about dancing in Tim’s case. He had so engineered the vote that the dancing was irrelevant,” Mr Laws said.

*******

This dancing business is sure giving Mickey the hypocrite plenty of scope. Who remembers when he was putting the boot into Tim Shadbolt because although he wasn't so hot on the dance floor, he stayed on because Invercargill and the South Island voted en masse.

Now here is, manipulating the media, the cancer society, Uncle Tom Cobley and all to help him circumvent the authoritative judges with votes from the gullible.

Bet Tim's laughing himself silly.

And exerpt from the Wanganui Chronicle, and, an idea.

"Dart players help mayor out of his jam"

14.04.2007
By IAIN HYNDMAN


"League president Laurie Jarman said the decision to auction the offending sighter board was in no way a reflection of Mr Laws’ debut performance, rather another way to help out the charity chosen by the dancing pair."


The Wanganui Chronicle's storey says...My name is Mickey and I'm desperate, all over it.

That would be cool if anti-Laws personnel won the bid for the sighter board.

Took the item to a trophy shop to have a brass plate attached to it inscribed with the words "Clumsy Loser" on it.

Then present the "trophy" to Mickey after he got eliminated off the DWTS show.

However, before that would happen, I'd like to have irrefutable proof that, that IS the actual sighter board Mickey the Clown broke his toe on. Before I would bid on it.

Anyone who doesn't ask to have the proof, is a sucker.

Well...there you go.The Mayor's getting bashed with no abuse or comeback from Mickey. Other than Mickey Mouth bashing and abusing himself.

I don't recall identifying you, Anon, as being Mickey.

But since you're that species of loser Laws supporter that is all "talk" and no proof. How about entertaining us with some proof.

Please don't strain yourself though.

I'd like to know how Mickey "rolls right over" anyone.

As it stands now, Mickey's getting bashed nationwide.

It'll be cool to hear that loud slap of sustaind laughter when Mickey takes a dive on DWTS and gets eliminated.

Otherwise, like all loser Laws supporters like yourself, your comment obviously is and remains unfounded.

So without the proof..Your claims of calling people "you negative whiners and witches." is meaninglessand unfounded.

And, it proves that you have nothing to worry about if anyone held a gun to your head and threatened to blow your brains out, when it's clear that your brains are in your arse.

But, if you'd like, you can take your place along side of the DWTS sideshow freak Mickey Mouth.

The cover-up and bullshit continues. What sort of tantrum did Mad Mickey have to throw to persuade the Sunday Times NOT to run a photo of his famous leer, but instead to give him some sort of immunity from ridicule by running instead a photo of a more photogenic couple to accompany his recycled ‘mea culpa’ crap.

Come to think of it, what sort of tanty did he throw whenever his poor long-suffering partner told him he was NOT sex on a stick but just a scrawny and sad old has-been who looks like scarily like Hannibal Lecter when he turns on his hip-thrusting smutty schoolboy leer.

But truth will out and Mickey probably didn’t know that it would be outed on the same page as his ridiculous nonsense … Mary Jane O’Reilly tells it like it is:
“Michael Laws must have embarrassed the whole of Wanganui with his over the op attempt at sexiness in the cha cha.” Now isn’t that right on the money!

Hey Laws Watch....Glad you could honor us with your comment..And, I mean that with respect.

Unfortunately, I can't reduce the number of words regarding the "after effects" to happen to Wanganui should the proposed Bylaw become local law.

One has to go into great detail to get the point across to highly ignorant individuals like Mickey, the WDC, and loser Laws supporters. Especially, when it comes to things that are about to come.

However, should you find it necessary to "warn" the people of Wanganui of the "after affects", maybe you might want to endeavor to generate a post on the subject to inform Wanganui what Mickey is about to bestow onto the city.

Cheers! Laws Watch

Water softening is happening already, as Cr. McGregor has pointed out. Mickey wants to rush it and that's just going to cost more money. We should simply wait for more soft water bores to come onstream.

Gang Insignia won't get through parliament, nor should it. If it does, Vision fit the description of a gang with their lies and illegal intimidation of Wanganui residents.

Recycling's a no-brainer.

Aniversary. The one new thing Mickey could have actually acheived gets knocked back.

Sadly, we'll miss out on the fun because I doubt the rest of the National MPs will even let Chester proceed. They're too smart for him.

First off, the Maori Party is totally against it.

And, it appears that both National and Labour want to stay in the Maori Party's "good books".

However, if Mickey and the WDC should "pull off" getting the local ban approved, I wonder what Mickey will do in regards to the next level of gang colours. That next level being, gang colour attire. Just like the Crips and the Bloods wear in Los Angeles, U.S.A.

Will Mickey have Wanganui citizens wear city uniforms?

Nice to hear she has now sorted out her childcare problems and getting a new job in Wellington, maybe the Mayor is finally doing his share and thats why he was citing the difficulties of caring for small children as an excuse for his embarrassing showing on the dance floor in the Chronicle last week.

Well let's see...One of the attributes of virtue of being a good leader is diplomacy.

Which it is more than obvious you are seriously lacking.

These "gang members" are Wanganui citizens, like it or not. The mayor needs to exercise diplomacy with the gang leaders, prior to pushing his weight around against city citizens by telling them what they can and connot wear.

There is no documented proof (i.e. Wanganui Chronicle, Mayor's and WDC website) that displays any attempt by loser Laws to employ a diplomatic approach first.

In this matter...Two wrong don't make a right.

Oh yea, if the gangs do adopt to the gang colour attire. I'll be laughing when I read of some loser Laws supporter wearing a jersey that is a gang colour and get's their arse kicked due to mistaken identity of being a rival gang member. Who knows, maybe it'll be you.

Mayoress Leonie Brookhammer has been appointed chief executive of Natural Fertility NZ and her new position will commence at the end of May.
Mayor Michael Laws today said that it was a position with its head office based in Wellington but with extensive travel likely. It confirmed his intention not to seek the mayoralty again this year, given the additional domestic responsibilities.

"We will be maintaining two residences, one in Wellington and one in Wanganui. It's going to make the family dynamics fairly interesting but the nature of my media jobs allows a flexibility that I am very fortunate to have.

"I have not ruled out standing for the District Council or District Health Board positions in the October elections and the children's schooling will still be based in Wanganui. I am very proud of what Leo has achieved – she has supported me through thick and thin these past three years and now it is my turn to play 'Mr Mum' which is a position I am really going to enjoy."

Mr Laws said the Mayoress will not be seeking re-election to Horizons Regional Council and will be commuting every weekend back to their Wanganui family home.

Dancing Laws trades on his unlucky break
Fresh from national television embarrassment, Wanganui Mayor and Dancing with the Stars contestant Michael Laws is auctioning off the metal bar that broke his toe.

Now the cause of some of his troubles – a metal bar at the Wanganui Darts League hall – is being auctioned on Trade Me.
By yesterday afternoon, bidding had reached $400 and an additional promise had been made by the colourful vendor: "HIGHEST BIDDER WILL BE BESTOWED WITH HONORARY CITIZENSHIP OF WANGANUI."
HOWEVER, WITHOUT A SURGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT OR AN EXTRA FOOT, HE FACES AN UPHILL BATTLE TO REMAIN ON THE SHOW, WHICH SCREENS TONIGHT.

Well Stuff is onto it.

Hey Mickey....my greatgrandmother can fast step better than you, and, she's dead.

And as Lauren pointed out....The fast step is mostly done on the toes. So in essence, you did not perform the fast step proper, LOSER.

So let's see, Tim Shadbolt got a 25 on his second go round.

However, even though Ieremia and Csaba got voted off, and they danced way better than you, with or without a broken toe. There is no one left the next time. If ol' Paul Holmes can get his head out his arse the next episode....You're gone.

I always wondered what a stick-man looked like dancing...When I watched you Mickey, now I know.

I bet Lauren wishes she could have been a dancing partner with former All Black Frank Bunce, instead of having to "dance" (if that's what you want to call it) with a cripple like yourself Mickey.

I think Lauren and TVNZ should make you dance proper. You didn't have to compete. If TVNZ agreed that you were fit enough to "dance" on the show. It should be mandatory for your "dance" performance to be no less than anyone else.

Hell, Mickey I can dance better than you and I have 4 screws in my ankle and my ankle's range of motion is alot less. Plus, I'll be that way for life.

Today's NZ Herald on DWTS:

While many believed Laws' lack of rhythm and his stiffness would see him go, he pulled through to be given a second chance to wow audiences next week with his unique dancing style, which at times resembles a slightly deranged person hopping about."

Wrong ... he's way past SLIGHTLY deranged and he's doing exactly what he slammed Tim Shadbolt for doing last year ... beating up the public vote with stunts like the broken toe and Women's mag story to keep in in the running after more able (and less offensive dancers) go.
