I was walking past The Beehive last night at 9-ish. Normally even at that hour mid-week, most of the lights are on, but last night understandably perhaps it was quite dark. Except that is for the 9th floor - all the lights were on. It made me wonder what might be happening up there in this transitional week.

• John Key rolling around on the carpet giggling maniacally
• JK & Bronagh "christening" the place (can you imaging HC & PD doing that? I can't and don't want to)
• Helen Clark sitting at her desk, her fingers gripping the desk so hard that she leaves fingerprint impressions
• HC working as normal up to the last minute
• Phil Goff enjoying the moment and wondering what might have been - he may never officially have the job, but just for a week, it sort of notionally is his.
• Heather Simpson stuffing vast volumes through an industrial strength paper shredder.

What do you think is going on?

If you foreign types need context, feel free to ask in the comments...

That we know of.

Did you see the pictures on Prime news of all the wheelie bins of shredded material being removed from ministerial offices - it is happening. There is lots of internal process that never becomes "official" documentation.

As a general policy I don't watch the news (but do watch the weather - go figure), so "no" to your question.

Yes...drafts (ahem) of papers that are yet to be "official" policy are not covered by the OIA. And legal advice, which can cover a multitude of sins.
