Where's Rusty

Where's Rusty Kane? Not interested in environmental impacts Rusty, or have the organisers been selective?
What's the chances

That some of the candidates, although having nothing to say, will not be allowed to speak by the rabble that is likely to attend this sort of meeting? I'm talking about you, watermelons and separatists.
Well done Envirohub

I was there representing the ACT party too (though at one stage I wished I wasn't after a dismal faux pas). Not sure why Sunlive didn't have me on their list. Was an open minded and respectful audience actually, as they all have been in Tauranga. Rusty was there at the back, not sure why he was not on the panel with us. Isn't he a soil scientist who could have made a useful contribution?
