	Rodney Hide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He won the party parliamentary leadership role in a closely-contested primary after the retirement of Richard Prebble in 2004.
		Prebble, however, appeared unenthusiastic about the prospect of Hide succeeding him, and in a speech praising each of the new leadership contenders, pointedly dwelled on the others.
		The succession method chosen by Prebble also appeared to disfavour Hide - rather than a simple caucus vote, which a conventional leadership challenge would have called, a four-way election involved all ACT party members (although the election remained only "indicative").

	Feature: Dogged by the past by Amanda Spratt \| New Zealand Listener
		Richard Prebble – ferocious politician, Labour bovver boy, the original Mad Dog – is openly weeping, and the interview is not even 10 minutes old.
		Prebble is close enough to touch, but as he sits wearing the Crash Fire Service jacket he was given by a department he so happily restructured two decades ago, crying in front of strangers, he seems alone.
		Prebble has also been in demand by the media as the go-to guy for comment on the recent mongrel antics in Parliament.

		Prebble was served papers on the front steps of Parliament, which seek to stop him revealing anything new about the business plan.
		Prebble has labelled the bank's seeking damages and costs as "financial intimidation" and says the case amounts to an attempt to stop an MP asking questions about whether the spending of $80 million on a bank is a wise use of taxpayers' money.
		Prebble says the restraining order is not just aimed at trying to keep him quiet, as it also asks him him to divulge who he has been talking to and who he has given information to, as well as seeking damages and costs.

		In his well-received speech, Prebble told delegates at the Christchurch conference that the rise of Don Brash represents the greatest threat to Act, as well as its greatest opportunity.
		Firstly, Prebble made a subtle reference to the fact Clark has no children, telling the conference that Act's female MPs are all mothers, a rarity in parliament.
		Prebble had raised eyebrows earlier this weekend by attending Korean Day celebrations in Auckland on the main day of the annual conference, at a crucial time for the party.

		Richard Prebble and Ken Shirley can claim to have been vindicated as many times as they like: the Act Party's little dodge with electoral offices was an abuse of taxpayers' trust.
		A group of party researchers and press secretaries were nominally based in a spare bedroom at a Wellington house owned by Prebble's family trust (which even collected rent) - allowing Act to claim for their salaries under funding provided for electorate offices.
		And Hard News veteran Adam Bogacki sent me a link to The 2003 Iraq War and Archaeology site, whose owner is compiling news stories on heritage losses, keeping a total of losses from the museum (his guess is 12,817 pieces missing and 24,896 damaged) and listing archaeological sites looted since the US victory: currently 20.

		Once the Speaker formally named Prebble, parliament was asked to vote on the issue, and Labour, the Alliance and the Greens agreed with the move.
		Prebble's suspension meant he could not enter the debating chamber, vote, serve on a committee or lodge questions for 24 hours.

		Thank you for the welcome you have given here today, to Richard Prebble, Trevor de Cleene, and to me. Thank you to the Backbone Club, for organising the occasion.
		Most of the spotlight has been focused on Richard and me. But to my mind, the man who showed the real courage through this whole situation was not Richard or me, it was Trevor de Cleene, who resigned both his portfolios, and all he said about it was: "I did it for me mate."
