'NO NOTES' . . . Pleased to See ACT Leader David Seymour's Comms Team Read My Advice
Jordan Kelly • 1 February 2025

They Might Not Have Any Manners, But They Know Good Advice When They See It!

So someone in Seymour's office DOES read (and take) my media advice . . . and, in this particular instance, they wasted no time in doing so! They even thought it was sage enough guidance to get its essence right there in the headline on the ACT YouTube upload, two days later: (Look Mum) "NO NOTES!"


Awesome. Pleased to have been of service. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled and ears tuned to see if any of the other Parliamentarians' advisors do the same at any point.


Be nice if more of them had the manners to acknowledge the unpaid service I provide, though . . . as indeed a minority do . . . you know, the well-bred ones.


Manners in ministerial office staff will be the subject of one of my next observational pieces. I'll tell you who's got them, and who lacks them. And I'll provide a bonus commentary on those that are also effective, as well as just having manners.
