The story that Phil told
June 11th, 2009 at 2:03 pm by David FarrarI,like many, fell for the story that Phil Goff told. I went on radio and said that Worth must go, on the basis of the earlier allegation on top of the later criminal complaint.
One interviewer asked me if I was saying that MPs can’t remain MPs or Ministers if they have an affair, and I was quick to say no that is not the case – a consensual affair is no disqualification for office. And neither is hitting on someone of the other sex (or same sex if that is your flavour). If that was the threshold then Parliament would be a far smaller place.
But the case that Phil Goff drew was of an unworldy timid woman who was so scared of Dr Worth that she did not know how to get him to stop, so finally in desperation went to Phil Goff, and Goff intervened to get him to stop. It was the harrassing predatory nature of the allegations that was damning. That does not excuse Dr Worth for any of his actions, but it does change very much the story that was being told.
The revelation that the woman was not just a party member or even a party activist, but tried to become a Labour MP in 2008 changes things dramatically. I know lots of parliamentary candidates for Labour and National. They are not unwordly shrinking violets who can’t handle themselves.
In fact the notion that an apsiring parliamentary candidate was so overwhelmed by the attention of an MP, she could not tell him to piss off, is ludicrous when you consider the role of an MP is to get up in Parliament and rip into the MPs and Ministers on the other side of the House.
This is not to say that Worth was not creepy towards her, and did not behave stupidly, inappropriately or even worse. He may well have – and is suffering the consequences.
But Phil Goff massively misrepresented the story in terms of how he portrayed this.
I am finding the story full of holes. She said she took the matter to Goff so the calls would stop, but it is now clear she went to Goff long before the calls became allegedly inappropriate.
She also said at another stage she went to Goff because Worth had offered her a job – but in today’s Herald we learn she contacted Goff before she had the coffee with Worth where he allegedly made the job offer.There are lots of things not adding up here.
I have had coffee with many Labour Party candidates. I trust they don’t all ring up Phil Goff for permission before they have a coffee with someone from another party.
I’m trying to put together a timeline of this whole thing, and will blog it when I have. The more you look the more you find things such as Barry Soper’s contention today that Phil Goff’s office were the ones who originally leaked the existence of the allegation to the media, so they would ask John Key if there had been any other complaints.

I’m presuming you’ve never been sexually harassed, DPF, and thus have no idea what it feels like to be put in that sort of position. You can’t even imagine the myriad of considerations that a harassed/assaulted woman has to consider – aside from the harassment/abuse itself, she has to consider embarassment to her self, her family, and the assailant, and the fact that she will likely be put on trial herself if she takes action. Which is exactly what you’re doing now.
It is not for you to decide whether one woman is better placed to deflect or manage sexual harassment than another. The reality is that no woman should be put in that position in the first place. Attack the attacker, DPF, not the victim.

Phil Goff is following a long tradition of Socialist leaders who have no ethics no morals and no principles. Why should we be surprised at his behaviour.

DPF
Good conspiracy, there is just one tiny problem.
Goff went to Key privately well before the matter was publicised by Key. If Goff wanted Worth fired he would have dropped it under privilege in Parliament. The fact that he treated it the way he did meant that he must have wanted it to remain private.
It seems to me the right wing have become obsessed about something that may have played a relatively minor part in Worth’s firing. It is obvious that the Korean’s woman’s complaint was the thing that tipped it for Key, not Goff’s private chat.
So how does this make you feel about Key. If your conspiracy theory is true Key has been played like a banjo by Goff. Perhaps Key really is not up to the job.

Actually I have been “sexually harrassed” but that is not the point. The fact is the story is developing big holes. The fact that she went to Goff before the first meeting and before any texts were inappropriate speaks volumes. We were told she went to Goff to get them to stop – yet this directly contradicts the timeline of when she first went to Goff.
I in no way excuse anything Worth may have done. But this is not like workplace sexual harrassment where you have to work with the person. This is a Labour Party aspiring candidate and a National Minister who do not need to have anything to do with each other.

Like virtually all novels the basic plot is about one person wanting something from another person. Both these women wanted something from Worth (there seems to be common agreement it wasn’t his body) and were prepared to give in exchange; friendship or more (one now says unwillingly). Perhaps neither got what they wanted and are now aggrieved. These are the games adults play; spare me the ‘harassment’ nonsense; both women had clear opportunities to withdraw from the game without consequences. Perhaps power or the perception of power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

It’s interesting to see how things have developed -and what an absolute charlie Mr Goff has made of himself.
Those with good memories may recall that I posted the following on 6 June, concerning the esteemed ‘Leader of the Opposition’s’ actions:
‘ . . Based purely on what has gone before, he [Phil Goff] will probably next release the lady’s first initial, then her second initial, then the second letter of her used-name and so on and so on . . (you know – the usual ‘guess who I am’ game).
No doubt he has convinced himself that he is sabotaging the dreaded Nats’, but what it is actually doing is making himself look extremely foolish – and a one-trick pony because after he’s done this what is left ? Not much I suspect.
Therefore, the request just has to be: ‘Come on Phil spill the beans, you’ve just about told us the ladies name, so ‘fess-up’
Any bets that he will? Or won’t?’
As will be seen, this is essentially what came to pass, with Phil releasing a little bit here. a little bit there – all very deliberate and no doubt convinceing himself he is being very, very clever.
The fact that at long last at least one member of the MSM have been brave-enough to actually do some investigating is also revealing, and dare we hope as a result, that they will actually now turn-on the (Dis)’Honourable’Phillip G and roast him (and ‘THE PARTY’)?
Or is that being just a little too optimistic?
Now if it was a NATIONAL Party leader who had done a ‘Goff’ and acted in such an appalling and manipulative manner . . .

Lets make a bid for the moral high ground and let these other distractions come from elsewhere. If the voters can see that we are doing our homework and making a valuable contribution we may get to hold the reigns of power again. etc…………..
To get out of this mess the Leader of the Opposition needs to show some leadership and show the voters that he and his party are capable of leading the country in a moral and responsible manner rather than dealing with these tawdry distractions that do no one any good, they are a complete waste of time and money.

This is all so irrelevant – remember that Goff is in the opposition – it doesn’t matter if he comes across as an idiot, becasue no-one cares – as long as his playing of the situation keeps the subject live (and as long as its live it is bad for National and particularly Key).
Whether it is shrewd (and particularly vile) politics on Goff’s part or not, the net effect is the same: People will forget Goff, but remember how Key’s honeymoon period collapsed…
Imo, it has been Key’s handling of the situation that has let Goff run amok with this ‘issue’. It would probably take a particularly bad turn of events – e.g. it coming out that Goff was complicit in a honey-trap maneuver – for this to turn out to be any thing other than a Labour victory.

Mickey, I used to think you had a reasonable mind but now I see it is clouded by your allegiance to the left in spite of the facts. You keep coming here (a clear sign that you are getting sick of the wankfest at the standard-standard) and making silly propositions that quickly get shot down in flames by the facts. You never respond to the rebuttals (no facts to back you up, just ideology that doesn’t bear scrutiny) and then you pop up on another thread posting another set of spurious propositions. Let’s look at these ones:
“Key has acknowledged receiving a letter from Neelam Choudary. He was quoted as saying that he has washed his hands of Richard Worth.”
- Excellent, about time Key distanced himself from this – he should have done so from the start and let his staff handle it
“Keep spinning this up guys. I suspect there is worse to come and when it does hit your attempts at constructing some sort of defence for Worth will look rather ridiculous.”
Vote:- The spin has all come from Goff and the Goofettes, trying to claim Choudary is an innocent victim (fail #1) and that Fail has done nothing wrong (phil #2)
- I suspect there is worse to come too, especially for Goff and Choudary. If only Goff had not been trying to get political gain out of this then possibly her identity might have remained private. Now the motivations are going to be scrutinised and I suspect it won’t be good for your team
- The vast majority of comments I have seen on this blog have already proclaimed Worth guilty of at least being inappropriate. Funnily enough as more facts have come to light it appears the facts are falling in Worth’s favour. Those that form a rush to judgement do so at a disadvantage to those that wait for the facts to be known.
June 11th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
RightNow
Happy to respond.
I think that the Choudary stuff has run its course. Key has been emphatic about washing his hands of Worth so I suspect that there is something else and worse which may or may not emerge from the Police investigation.
I think the Choudary stuff is irrelevant to what happens to Worth. With it or without it he is toast.
So I do not understand this obsessive digging into her background. And I do not think that Goff has overplayed it, actually I thought the opposite and I wish the Goff – Key relationship was such that there was an ability to deal with some matters privately rather than in a political “business as usual” mode.
Unfortunately I cannot see this (dealing with matters privately) happening again.

The question is how much of the “Choudary stuff” has been a set-up, and as much as you and the Labour party want so desperately for a failed set-up to go away – it wont, until people are satisfied all the details are out.

See above. The allegation is that Goff has mounted this amazingly complex sting on Key where he went to see him privately but planned for it to become public, where he orchestrated the moves of a woman who seems to have wanted the news to be private so that it became public, and where he added to the downfall of a Minister who was on the skids anyway. I do struggle with this. I admit that my desire to debate this has plummeted after the possible publication of the activist’s identity.
Politicians should be subject to this crap, I am not sure that political activists (apart from Cameron Slater) ought to be.
