Come what may do you really think that the National Party will want Payne after this, his latest, round of hysteronics?

… ask Michelle Bog if my allegation is true and if not tell her to sue me.

I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you contact Michelle Boag (she’s not Michelle Bog, just like your mate isn’t Roger Pain) – ask her to submit a comment here. Otherwise your position is, as DPF says, fourth-hand and unsubstantiated.

I guess Roger Payne feels a bit like Don Brash did. That is, sad because he has been rejected into the “out of sympathy” club.

Anyway now that Payne has had his fair hearing why don’t you tell POC and other readers why you retracted your comments in support of Payne and now appear to be back on his band wagon?

Oh and back up your comment that Michelle Boag invited Payne to rejoin National.

FYI David F, the former National Party President Michelle Boag asked Roger to rejoin the National Party after the concerns about Brain Connell were fobbed off. Before you cowards start, provable fact .

[DPF: You back up that assertion, which sounds fourth hand. I meanwhile can provide first hand testimony that when Payne tried to join the Wellington Central electorate, his application was declined. I was at the meeting which declined it]

I’m not the only one here inviting you to substantiate your comments. You have previously owned up to making a mistake and wanting to move on. And here we are – again – reading your suggestion that something is afoot. Either it is or it isn’t.

GPT1 for your sake, the National lawyers were instructed not to continue with Roger’s alleged bankruptcy proceedings as it was formally annulled and the judge asked that the media take that into consideration

That comment was addressed to GPT1, not me, but I’d like to know why National lawyers would “continue” with his alleged bankruptcy proceedings. I suspect it’s one of a number of issues that were raised in court.

GPT1 for your sake, the National lawyers were instructed not to continue with Roger’s alleged bankruptcy proceedings as it was formally annulled and the judge asked that the media take that into consideration.You should heed that advice as the matter is still subject to further investigation.

Anyone would think you know all cowardly creeps were at the hearing. What tossers. Full of crap.

If I hold my breath and drop dead at least my comments remain in blogosphere.

So true:

I retract everything I have ever said about the Roger Payne Case and I am extremely sorry for the unnecessary heartache and hurtful feelings I have caused to all the parties concerned.

My humblest apologies I did not intend on malice.

And also this:

I made a mistake and apologized . Ever made a mistake in your life POC. Don’t answer and keep on the topic and get off my tail !!

So I’m confused: are you now retracting your retraction? I’m expecting abuse from you, but it’d be nice if you could address the substance of my comment instead. Over to you, D4J.

As for your allegations of “struck from the records” that term is an Americanism and does not apply in NZ. My understanding is that the Judge was very specific about what he wanted to hear about – ie: the relationship between Electoral Act and the party rules and it was Payne who was unable to remain on topic meaning a large amount of the hearing was irrelevant.

Is this an example of Roger Payne’s extensive abilities in justice? http://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/about/supreme/PDF-05/SC82005PaynevPayne-18March2005.pdf

“Having now received and considered submissions from Mr Payne in support of his application, we are satisfied that it so plainly fails to met the statutory leave criteria that it can be dismissed without oral hearing…”

The lowest I’ve seen your drivel rated was -45.

James W -my friend has basic reading and writing skills unlike the semi -illiterate Chris Carter.

I am on the record as having been critical of the Board for not using it more often. They have a duty to protect the Party from obviously unsuitable candidates.

Someone who has previously signed a sworn statement that they will not stand against the National candidate, and then breaks their sworn written word, is exactly who should not get to go past go. In fact he should never have been allowed to rejoin the party.
