Just too embarrassing for words.<BR/><BR/>Apparently Nicky Hagar's new book has more to say about that. A short term obstacle with Don's injunction, but hopefully we will see it on the Newstands for our Xmas Shopping.<BR/><BR/>According to Radio NZ news at noon - it may contain evidence of much stronger links between National Party hierarchy and Exclusive Brethren. I can't figure out in that case why they have let Don Brash hang out to dry on this one - unless they know his days are numbered anyway.<BR/><BR/>I can't think of the relevance of your reference to N Korea. Extremes of the far left and far right (i.e. dictatorships) are of no interest to me. Interesting (but unsurprising) to see that one of the two is attractive to you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1164054799924204592006-11-21T09:33:00.000+13:002006-11-21T09:33:00.000+13:00Anonymous,If you actually bothered reading anythin...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>If you actually bothered reading anything I write, you would observe that I too am well to the right of most people in the National Party.<BR/><BR/>Go take your socialist bile somewhere else, shit-head.

Any news that Ross Wilson has been helping Helen Clark would be totally unremarkable.<BR/><BR/>The ACT Party and discredited Business Round Table are some distance to the right of National Party. [Romps around Parliament Buildings with Roger K anyone?] Roger + Diane = some frivolity it would seem! NZ's answer to UK upper class and royalty perhaps? <BR/><BR/>If that were not the case, why would you need an ACT Party at all?<BR/><BR/>Unless of course you argue that the entire National Party has moved to the far right with Diane Forman and Don Brash. That will be the day.<BR/><BR/>At the last election National's policies were further to the right that in previous years - with the Tax Cuts being the only one that Don Brash either talked about or could remember! [Of course now we learn from Don that the cuts would not have been sustainable .. too bad!]<BR/><BR/>But this would certainly not be the pragmatic National Party that has always been in the past. Maybe that is what Winston Peters means when he talks about their internal divisions!<BR/><BR/>You may have noticed that only the Maori Party has looked close to National in recent parliamentary times - and didn't they lead them up the garden path with 3-month trial employment! Hide/ACT bitterly disappointed with Don's news on Tax Cuts we might have got for 12 months of course!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1163989038205072352006-11-20T15:17:00.000+13:002006-11-20T15:17:00.000+13:00Anonymous:You are now tarnished by an allegation t...Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>You are now tarnished by an allegation that you have an inverted penis, which you are yet to deny.<BR/><BR/>In other news, Helen Clark is tarnished by allegations that she is a socialist, and has received help from the CTU's Ross Wilson, also of socialist background, to retain her leadership of the Labour Party.Insolent Prickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438163323894858558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1163985987416110902006-11-20T14:26:00.000+13:002006-11-20T14:26:00.000+13:00Don Brash now tarnished by undenied allegation of ...Don Brash now tarnished by undenied allegation of affair with Diane Forman - of Business Roundtable / ACT background. <BR/><BR/>A further allegation is that she assisted Don to take over from Bill - if the email on TV was in fact genuine. <BR/><BR/>Why are we waiting everybody?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1163971674463314832006-11-20T10:27:00.000+13:002006-11-20T10:27:00.000+13:00You must be living in cuckoo land.where are your b...You must be living in cuckoo land.<BR/>where are your brains.<BR/>Kiwis are stupid they vote for an ideal not on issues or results.<BR/>why do you think Labour have lasted for 3 shafting terms.<BR/>because the kiwi doesn't think nor do they have asense of right or wrong.<BR/>they are an apathetic bunch.<BR/>oops I'm one too.<BR/>silly billy.<BR/>MikeNZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1162115990587850602006-10-29T22:59:00.000+13:002006-10-29T22:59:00.000+13:00Yes the hard decision on strategy is still come......Yes the hard decision on strategy is still come...<BR/><BR/>Whether or not to go all out for >>>50% of the vote (needed to form a government under MMP due to Maori seats, NZ First, United Future, etc) by going all soft and gooey and making all sorts of promises (a la Jim Bolger in 1990 promising to get rid of the super surtax) which can't be kept.<BR/><BR/>I would still say with MMP and coalitions, that it is still 50:50 as to whether the Nats will get up or whether we see another Labour-led government (blerk).<BR/><BR/>AAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1161127426786250132006-10-18T12:23:00.000+13:002006-10-18T12:23:00.000+13:00sean:Those are fair points.

I really don't want to start a squabble between different elements of the centre-right, but what we are beginning to see is the right making inroads into core centre-left support. As for coalition partners--frankly, I don't see Winston being there beyond the next election; If Dunne is around--and that's less of a certainty--he will go with whichever party has the largest number of seats.<BR/><BR/>As for Rodney, I think he has a useful contribution to make in a National-led government. I think he could make a bold contribution as Minister of Revenue. As for what needs to be done to keep him on board--I think giving him an easy run in Epsom would be as good a move as any. Putting Richard Worth up as the candidate again would probably achieve that outcome.<BR/><BR/>The major risk is the Maori Party and the likely overhang if it cleans up all Maori seats. National does have to be prepared to make concessions to the Maori Party; at least get a commitment from them to agree to negotiate with the largest political party first.Insolent Prickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438163323894858558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1161024353091382722006-10-17T07:45:00.000+13:002006-10-17T07:45:00.000+13:00Good blog but there's something this young Nat is ...Good blog but there's something this young Nat is missing. An "independant and respected High Court judge". What the hell is that? They refuse to look at constitutional issues at all. We'd do better getting a Liberterian to do it - at least these crooks would have to start looking over their shoulders. National may be the lesser of two evils but its not much of a choice really. Communist weirdos or randy bankers? Surely there has to be something better? Whether we deserve better is another issue though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1160883026445626422006-10-15T16:30:00.000+13:002006-10-15T16:30:00.000+13:00What a great post.

I would agree with all you have written except for one fact.<BR/>This is NZ.<BR/>The voters have shown that all will be forgiven and forgotten if there is enough loot in it for them.<BR/>Nobody wants this shower of shit put out more than me, but i cannot see how it will happen. working for families has made benficiaries out of a huge number of voters, and I can see mallard/ cullen and co screaming about nationals secret plans to remove it if elected. Who cares if it is the truth or not. They will scream and shout, get more than their share of media while saying it and nobody in the MSM will question it.<BR/>As for their urgent need for cash they should visit Bob Jones. A less kind person than me might suggest he has the most to gain with the continuation of a socialist govt.

It is indeed time for Don to start acting like the PM in waiting and making statements as to his first activities as PM. This issue has galvanised National, and allowed them to start showing themselves as worthy of the treasury benches. Even Brownlee who I have never personally liked is stepping up to the plate with succesful attacks, and thereby gaining kudos.<BR/>I see that Farrar is now campaigning for a new fund to advertise those party's who have refused to repay their misappropriation of taxpayer funds. How do you see this panning out, as it might lead to a few problems with coalition partners, should National fail to get to 50%? I suppose they only need to get to 48% and the treasury benches are theirsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14039752.post-1160697905793087472006-10-13T13:05:00.000+13:002006-10-13T13:05:00.000+13:00This Labour-led debacle, will be seen by all the n...This Labour-led debacle, will be seen by all the new crop of National back benchers' as a great and long to be remembered, lesson on what is "correct behaviour".<BR/>And I haven't even mentioned "Tiler Field".. well, until this very last moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
