I think Lusk, Slater and Co have already done enough damage to National.

I have read Lusk’s email conversations with Cameron Slater.

I therefore know well enough what he is.

“Lusk, Slater and Co have already done enough damage to Nationa”

The official line is that the public reaction to “Dirty Politics” will actually be beneficial to the Nats. Try and stick to the script.

Tom
Judging by the polls the public are well used to smear attacks by the left and their own peculiar brand of dirty politics. I would suggest that every National, Act or Conservative Billboard torn down or burnt, completely undermines what the puppet Hagar is trying to achieve. The Left really are inept.

Good old damage control goes on!

Just tell these Nat loser’s like Judith/Whale to shut their fucking traps and get out there and present a united front behind JK.

Anything else will be a Cunners/Norman/Hone/Laila/Dotcom/Winston fuckup.

God help us all if that happens.

Johnboy – either Key is complicit in all these dirty politics, or he simply can’t manage his office effectively. Either way, I think we need a change of government so we can stop this rot.

A change of government would do it do you think mjw?

Expand on your theory! 🙂

Colville – I agree. So if you want to change the government, then Party Vote Labour.

Johnboy – yep regular changes of government are what is required to preserve our freedom. I’m not suggesting a permanent change of government. But National needs a period of introspection and renewal. At the moment, they seem to believe in nothing except power at any cost. They need to go to the naughty chair and think about what they have done.

Continuation of a plan that works is what we really need in NZ mjw. Not a mob of whackjobs getting their hands on the control panel! 🙂

Robertson was on Q and A this morning and couldn’t sit straight when challenged on what the top tax rate will actually be

Labour knows they are fucked as even if they managed to get a left block majority they will only be signing off Green polices

Johnboy: You mean a plan that has resulted in massive wealth inequality and serious child poverty, despite borrowing $60 billion?

The alternative mjw was to shut down government expenditure and throw hundreds of thousands out of employment and their state house’s. Just like Greece, Italy, etc.

Bill’s done a fucking good job. Far better than that fairwind sailor Micky Cullen (much lauded by you lefties) could have done.

Be thankful and vote National back for another two terms so we can pay the debt back down then you sadarse lefties will have a purse to blow on free beer again! 🙂

I don’t think the vicious Hager smear has neccessarily been beneficial to National, but I don’t think it will lose them more than 1 or 2% of the vote.
The solid National voter is disgusted by Hagers tactics.
The swinging central voter either sees it for what it is – or a small percentage with Left-wing inclinations may swing towards Labour.
The bad news for Labour is that those that are most likely to be sucked in by it are left-wing anyway and due to Hagers historical allegiances will desert Labour for Greens or Dotcom.
Therefore it may bring about a shifting of deck chairs on the left, but not an exodus from right to the left.

Johnboy. Yes I agree Bill has done a pretty good job. But my personal review is that we need a bit more reform now. I like the Labour policies of social housing and the variable savings rate (both also implemented in Singapore), the Auckland rail loop, smaller class sizes, and doing something more for child poverty.

Back to the days when you knew the lady at the switchboard was listening in lol. At least with big brother you have an idea who they are, this way with hackers they are anonymous. Much scarier.

I hope that the GCSB (if it can’t already)can track the perpetrators of this outrage, especially as the time frame is quite prescribed.

In my opinion if there was ever a case for strengthening the powers of the GCSB, this is it. Thanks ‘hackers’ you have destroyed some of what I consider democracy and normally wanting less not more state interference and control..

If John Key does not hear any more about Lusk or Slater for the rest of the campaign he will be relieved.
