	ACT New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her presence is seen by many as a move by the ACT Party's Rodney Hide to broker a coalition of opposition parties to contest the 2008 election against the Labour minority Government.
		Even if Rodney Hide does retain the seat for ACT, there is still the matter of the party list vote, Rodney Hide would become a centre-right equivalent to Jim Anderton's current status on the other side of the house, as sole remnant of a former plausible coalition partner for a major political party.
		If Hide is able to only retain his seat, there will be a further reduction in parliamentary services funding for ACT, as there was after the debacle of the New Zealand general election 2005.

	Rodney Hide - Uncyclopedia
		Rodney Hide AKA Big Rod (born 16 December 1956) is a New Zealand politician, leader of the political party ACT New Zealand and Member of Parliament for Epsom.
		Hide first entered a Parliament in 1996 a month after the rest of the new politicians as the door wasn't wide enough for "Big Rod" and had to be rebuilt.
		Hide once said about this incident "A doors gotta be wide to fit Mr Hide." Rodney also has a special seat in parliment built just for him because his bottom is just to gosh darn big for a normal seat.

	Rodney Hide for Epsom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rodney Hide will admit now that he wants to change the world but he insists that initially he only ever wanted to be on the sidelines of politics.
		Rodney Hide decided to stand against National's Richard Worth, a patrician lawyer who was being touted by his party as a high-flyer.
		Hide enjoyed the street corner campaigning and the low-tax/high personal responsibility ACT message went across particularly well in the affluent leafy suburbs, so much so that he trimmed the National majority from 19,000 to 1,900.

	Public Address \| Hard News \| At last, it gets interesting
		That's because Hide has shown himself to be a strong campaigner - not least through his weblog, where Hide has clearly got the hang of things.
		Franks' urgent appeal was presumably partially prompted by a Herald story yesterday headed Hide hits the front in race for Act's top job, which said that Hide was "way ahead of his fellow MPs in the increasingly divisive contest for the Act leadership, according to a poll asking who would make the best leader".
		There was more statistical abuse in the Herald this week in the form of a stern editorial on the importance of discipline in schools, which quotes "a Maxim Institute study that found three-quarters of parents rated lack of discipline their biggest concern about schools".

		Rodneys job (except for being the member for Remuera) is to increase ACTS support back to the level it was before Don became leader of the National Party.
		Fact: Rodney Hide saw a need to put the acid on National to deal to the issue and halt the damaging fallout thats occuring re Nationals image beacause it weakens the Centre Rights position as "government in waiting".
		Hide knows he needs the media to keep his profile up, because he has a 2 MP party, and a weak No 2.

	Trirds Triumphant? - The Free Radical Online
		ACT's Rodney Hide has been incessant in pushing the IRD and revealing the rot inside.
		They had put in a big effort, not to hear my story, understand my allegations or even hear my substantial and voluminous evidence, but rather to discredit a vociferous IRD opponent and, by implication, discredit one of their members, Rodney Hide, who of course has championed my case.
		Rodney's problem is that he has been too effective.

		So might the acknowledgement that some of the laws and policies passed by the Labour led government in the last 5 years have had both intended and unintended consequences that have adversely affected the environment in which employment disputes are discussed.
		Rodney's blog is extremely male, I think Act itself has known that it appeals to young white men more than any other demographic, and at times they have seemed to be almost trumpeting that fact.
		If you have ever had any involvement in a small business you would understand how realistic the situation on Rodney Hides blog is. If they did tell the kid to stop insulting customers and get his arse in gear you would no doubt flail them for causing him stress.

	Scoop: Flashback: When Perk Buster Rodney Hide Was Busted
		Rodney Hide the onetime super perk buster — but now rather more subdued Leader of the Act Party - has once again been in attack mode this week regarding a number of allegations swirling around Labour Cabinet Minister John Tamihere.
		All of us Kiwis knew Rodney Hide to be an MP and knew that he had a name as a 'scam buster' and as a straight shooter and straight talker.
		Meanwhile in Mr Hide's case when busted in a clearly compromising position in relation to his trip to Fiji by Mr Tamihere and Mr Cosgrove, rather than apologising for his apparent error in judgement it appears Mr Hide chose to attack one of the victims.

	Hide accused over election spending \| ELECTION 2005 \| ONE NEWS \| tvnz.co.nz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Act leader Rodney Hide's electorate seat could be in jeopardy if claims of overspending turn out to be true.
		"The people of Epsom voted Rodney Hide as their member of parliament and they voted for me because I was out knocking on doors, I was walking in the streets, I was talking to voters," says Hide.
		What makes the situation even more strange is that if Rodney Hide was to go, the other Act MP Heather Roy would stay in parliament despite her only being there because Rodney Hide won his seat as Act didn't reach the crucial 5% threshold.

		Rodney Hide holds all the cards, they can't take his leadership away because he now is the ACT Party, with a very weak no 2 Mrs Roy, a list MP.
		Rodney is fine with policy, it's just that the media doesn't care about his policy statements.
		If Rodney really did have some ideas about policy that were worth reporting, it would be reported (but the Nat's are not a heck of a lot better but at least they have relevance).

	ISIL New Zealand Conference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hide, and several other MPs in the NZ parliament have been described as a team of New Zealand "Ron Paul's" – bucking the system at every turn and advocating libertarian solutions.
		Hide, who was written up in the September 2004 issue of Liberty Magazine, was able to contribute a great deal to the event – including being able to provide informed input into the many discussions regarding loony Green politics.
		Hide has also earned the title as New Zealand's champion "perk-buster" and was recently immortalized in the New Zealand Oxford Dictionary where his term was recently incorporated.

	The Whig
		As I see it the only reason Rodney Hide is still in the competition is because literally dozens of ACT Party members have been orchestrated to spend hundreds of dollars each to phone again and again to vote for him each time he's danced.
		In fact if I was Rodney Hide right now I’d be looking for a way to publicly bow out gracefully from the competition and by doing so be remembered as the politician who had the courage to try dancing with the stars.
		For if Rodney Hide persists Dancing with the Stars he runs the real risk of doing what Bill English did to himself when he so foolishly participated in the “Fight for Life,” and got the crap beat out of him on nation wide TV.

		This month my completely unfair and irrelevent pick on Rodney post is inspired by the lovely spot the difference fatty pics of Rodney and some other porker posted over at About Town a few days ago.
		I like to think of Rodney as that viscious pitbull who tried to take a chunk out of my leg when I was 16.
		However I have also always been aware that their leader, and my personal political pet peeve, Rodney Hide, has a habit of using his conscience votes as I would have.

	[Roy Morgan Research] Roy Morgan Press Releases
		A special poll, conducted in the seat of Epsom by Roy Morgan Research on September 14, 2005 shows the majority of enrolled voters in Epsom (56%) think that it was inappropriate for Labour to encourage its supporters to vote for the National candidate.
		“If Mr Hide is to turn the electorate of Epsom in his favour, he needs to focus attention on the issue of Labour’s encouragement of its supporters to vote for National Party candidate Mr Worth.
		These are the findings from the special poll conducted by Roy Morgan Research on Voting Intention in Epsom, which was conducted last night, September 14, 2005, with a cross-section of 475 electors.

	Not PC: Wananga's failure shows voucher failure
		After all, the assets don't go away when bankruptcy is declared, and as it is now the government has just taken control of a private school, not something a libertarian should enjoy.
		This Government is spending roughly a billion dollars a year in tertiary education, mostly in what's known as 'low-level' courses such as the degrees in air-hosting and diplomas in dog-washing and the like that have been exposed in various news stories.
		Such a system is exactly what ACT party luminaries such as Rodney Hide, Ken Shirley and Deborah Coddington have been advocating for years, and what English's colleagues put in place at tertiary level.

		Green MP Keith Locke is doing his bit to keep Rodney Hide out of the Epsom seat - threatening to run naked down the streets of the electorate if Mr Hide wins.
		The promise to the 850 gathered at an Epsom political forum last night was just one more bizarre aspect in what must be the oddest electorate campaign this election, which has National spurning its natural ally and Labour floating the possibility of supporting its natural enemy.
		However, what Keith actually said was that he’s so confident Rodney won’t win Epsom that he’d run through the electorate’s streets naked if the Act Leader did the impossible.

		With such revelations it is becoming increasingly difficult to deny the peak oil hypothesis yet Rodney Hide continues to scoff in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
		Hide's fallacious (straw man) attempt to refute todays claims based on incorrect argument's made in the 1940's is laughable (at least to any first year philosophy or logic student) - I guess that's what we call politics.
		It is this data that requires refutation, it is this data that Hide needs to turn his attention to.
