OPINION: Your old mate has been informed that comments made last issue, about Minister for State-Owned Enterprises David Clark's recent visit to Molesworth Station, may have got some people barking up the wrong tree and getting the wrong end of the stick.

The Hound's editor - and chief dog tucker provider - has insisted that this old mutt clarify that his comments "useless and ineffective" were aimed directly at the infamous bicycled bespeckled minister and other officials.

They were in no way a crack at the good and hard-working staff of Molesworth Station who - by all accounts - are doing stellar work and doing a "bloody good job" in running and managing one of the country's biggest and most difficult farms.

Hopefully, this clarifies any wrong impression given, and the flow of dog biscuits to yours truly may start again soon!
