Helen’s mini-me’s Urghh

Adam posted a few hours ago on a article by Dr Michael Bassett. In which Dr Bassett discussed NZ Labour’s Dirty Tricks.

Amongst other comments in that article was the following:-

New Zealand’s Labour dirty tricksters were all on the public payroll. They operated mostly from the Prime Minister’s Office where Helen Clark appeared to operate a kind of training school for younger versions of herself: people with degrees and absolutely no experience of life. Graduates of student politics, they regarded possession of the reins of power as some form of divine right. Mostly in their 20s, they were designated “advisers to the Prime Minister”. Since they had little general knowledge, and consequently nothing to advise with, they were paid good money, and put to work on dirty tricks. Several are now on Labour’s backbenches, where they are still being supported by the taxpayer.

Now who could he possibly be referring too.

Would my readers care to suggest names?

Who comes readily to mind?

Adam acknowledges that mawm, a regular commentator here, coined the phrase Helen’s mini-me’s .
