Is Carter bluffing

October 12th, 2010 at 2:00 pm by David Farrar

Tracy Watkins at the Dom Post reports:

Labour Party president Andrew Little revealed today that Mr Carter had threatened to disclose the private information of other Labour MPs if expelled from the party.

Mr Carter, the MP for Te Atatu, was expelled by Labour’s national council after a lengthy hearing last night.

During the meeting Mr Carter threatened to disclose private information about unnamed Labour MPs if he was expelled, Mr Little said.

”He just said he had a lot of information on a lot of individuals in the caucus and that he wouldn’t hesitate to disclose that if it suited him to do so,” Mr Little said.

So was Carter bluffing, or is he going to start planting stories with the media?

Mr Little revealed this morning the vote to expel Mr Carter was not unanimous but overwhelmingly in favour.

Hmmn, I wonder who voted against?

UPDATE: Talking of revelations, Phil Quinn, a former parliamentary staffer for Labour, has made his own about Chris Carter:

Chris Carter had a secret poll taken in ’96 to ascertain whether he could hold Te Atatu with Clark at the helm.  I know this because I conducted the poll.  The results were unequivocal: Carter would lose big time, which he went on to do.  Chris was not keen on backing Mike Moore — a figure of derision on his side of the Party — but his clear preference was for Goff to run.  The numbers, however, forced Mike Moore’s name into the race.

Based on conversations he and I had at the time, I have every reason to believe that Carter was supportive of a Goff ‘coup’ in 1996.  Plenty of people know this, including Goff himself, and it is to their credit that they keep quiet.   For my part, I am tired of the sanctimony of people — Carter being the latest–  who try and misrepresent those events as treachery.  Leaderships spills happen, some for good reason, some for ill.  Some succeed, like Clark in 1993; some fail, like 1996.  Such is politics.  The tendency within NZ Labour to vilify the vanquished in these internal party disputes is not entirely non-Stalinist.

Carter shouldn’t be allowed to get away with such shameless hypocrisy. Surely?

Fascinating revelations. Does Helen know this?

    There is much I don’t understand in politics. Why is Carter being hypocritical here? Are you a hypocrite for losing confidence in a man over 14 year period and changing your vote? I can think of one or two circumstances that have changed since 1996. We now know Goff is an ineffective leader, for instance, and that he has reverse his position on any number of issues in the last two years. Are you a hypocrite for changing your support?

    No, he shouldn’t, but it may not stop him from trying. Carter may see (and hear) some sense now he knows he has been de-partied, but his actions and reactions over the past three months suggest he isn’t there yet.

    The best way to stop him getting away with it is to pre-empt his releases, or at least be ready to react with a plausible counterview, much as Phil has done here. Some in Labour and Labour as a whole would probably take a few hits but it could also be very beneficial having an open purge of the past, they need to do something to show they are prepared to be a party of the future rather than a horde of historical hystericals.

    And heres something for Carter to think about. I don’t care what you know. I have no iterest in any dirt you throw about other than to add to my contempt for you personally.

    NZ politics is in a very poor state because of just this sort of theng where those with no answeres simply try to tear others down. I’m sure you’ll get you extended five minutes of fame and hurt labour some more, but I wont be playing.

Garret used a dead child’s name to obtain a false passport. Anything that seeks to portray it any other way is just cowardly yellow left wing lies and typical of the propaganda technique used by liars and cowards who have no rational argument.

    What he amounted to, as alluded to by Redbaiter, is obtaining by deception.

    I can’t conceive of any government of the right:
    * failing to wind back the middle-class welfare of Welfare for Families
    * introducing a wealth redistribution scam like the ETS
    * handing off a large part of our culture and heritage to a radical minority (via the Foreshore & Seabed)
    * ignoring 88% of the population in a referendum
    * caving to a few scruffy lefties over mining
    * maligning as “too radical” any proposal that might have some chance of starting to move New Zealand out of the debt-ridden, welfare-induced stupor in which it finds itself?

    I mean seriously. Anybody who thinks the government of John The Appeaser Key is “right” has no idea what the terms “liberty” and “freedom” mean.

    “stop this quite appalling homophobia?”

    Man I dislike that PC directive. Soviet style speech and mind control, made even more offensive by the fact that there is no such medical condition as homophobia. It is a made up word. Why don’t you stop pretending to be a right winger Clint and admit that you’re just another brainwashed social liberal with political views only slightly different to most of the Labour party?

    If anyone made anything of Carter being homosexual its Carter himself. I consider it fair enough to refer to it as long as its done within boundaries that would not embarrass the blog host.

    Red, not sure the blog host wouldn’t be embarrassed by some of the comments on this thread. Like I said above, Carter is not the most reviled character in New Zealand because he’s a poof, it’s because he’s a

    “…troughing scumbag with a case of terminal entitle-itis and an overblown victim mentality…”

    which is really just another way of saying he’s a politician. In his case, he’s probably an archetypal charicature of a politician.

    The word “homophobia” is contrived, PC nonsense. “Phobia” means “fear” and I don’t think anyone here would admit to being fearful of this princess or his tantrums. I think because he is stereotypical (I mean, Elton John on a bad day), it makes it easier to target his sexual preference than the fact he is a troughing scumbag with a case of terminal entitle-itis and an overblown victim mentality.

    Pretty typical of the kiwi mentality, really. We complain when others play the man and not the ball, but it doesn’t apply to us. Don’t worry about the fact he’s had his hand in every kiwi’s pocket for the past 20 years, worry more about where another part of his anatomy goes on a far less regular basis.

    And the latest Stuff article on ‘whatshisname”:

    “Mr Carter laced with threats to reveal embarrassing skeletons. At one point he told the council: “I can be friend or foe. If it’s foe you want, its war.” ”

    War? Chris Carter? Really?  To paraphrase that 60′s song “War”…

    Chris
    Wo, wo, wo, wo
    What is he good for…

    “Carter’s sexuality is irrelevant to his competence as an MP”

    That is a matter of opinion. If his sexual preference is linked to victimology it does affect his competence or his incompetence as an MP.

    This is no different than race. I am happy to see a proportionate number of Maori in Parliament provided the majority of them do not see themselves as victims.

    I had dealings with Carter years ago. His whole political philosophy his based on victimology pertaining to homosexuals, woman and ethnic minorities. Many of these left wing homosexuals have an agenda. It has been posted on this blog a number of times. According to some those who are concerned about this agenda are homophobes.

    Well said Chuck. Those who say a person’s sexuality has no bearing on how they do their job are blowing smoke. In today’s environment, this applies even more so on the political sphere. As you have pointed out, (although it is not always so), if a person is homosexual it most often generates a certain political mindset and therefore a pre-occupation with associated legislation.

    If there is no stigma attached to anybody’s sexuality then that is every reason for those standing for office to be up front about it and ALLOW VOTERS TO CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES.

    That the fake term “homophobia” is so often used in our media and public institutions is a disgrace and another warning as to how deeply embedded socialist fascist concepts are in our society.

    Here’s hoping Carter can dish up some juicy gossip before Christmas to take our minds off the dreary performance of his dead in the water career. My mind spins in anticipation of the lurid inside dirt that Chris is promising to reveal, who did what with who,who was on top, and of course how they all paid for it.
    Unlike Chris I have a good memory for names, like Cunliffe and Jones, his only friends in the Labour camp.We could indulge ourselves in outing his co conspirators before he does although they will of course deny any involvement in any coup.Jonesy is hoping to get the Manurewa seat and Cunliffe has his eye on the top job.
    Will Labour self destruct like Act, we await with baited breath.

    This chap needs to reinvent himself and get out of our faces.

    He is acting like a spoilt 4 year old who didn’t get any lollies at the lolly scramble.

    The party is over, he has had a lovely time the last 10 years at the expense of the taxpayer.

    Now he has to grow up and go and get a real job and become a real person like the rest of us who work for a living and generate income to pay for politicans wages.

    I am sick of the bull**** from both Labour and National, lets grow up and start acting like adults.

    I has been said many many times the pass Liarbore government was the most gay friendly government ever to hold office in this country. If being gay has no bearing on the way one conducts government and makes laws they why fucking state the government is gay friendly. I thought government was for all so one would have to assume gays got a better deal under the last corrupt administration. So as far as I’m concerned being gay is an issue and those trying to pretend otherwise are full of it.

    That leaves him open to any attack on that ground IMO
    Now i’m compared to John Wayne Gacy and reminded not to embarass the web host.
    Thanks for that Redbaiter.

    Redbaiter – you have also fallen into Chris Carters hands. He has based his career on his victim mentality and instead of calling him up on it, you and others go on and prove that there was indeed some fact behind his whole “it’s because I’m gay that you make fun of me” act.

    I asked for people to look at his troughing and his behaviour and you tell me that I am not right wing enough because I do?

    Get off the grass mate. I agree with yours and Chucks comments above, but if you re-read the comments here, most have wasted their time with frivolous remarks about where he sticks his dick – and not that he does not care about how he spends our taxpayers money.

    Clint- your use of the word “homophobia” signifies that you buy into a social construct that no real right winger would be part of. Its a fake word, its a fake concept and anyone who uses it is not really up to speed on the political strategies of the left. Hint- its not really about homosexuality its about conforming (like lemmings) to the edicts of the self appointed socialist fascist elite. We have to push back against this kind of manipulative crap.

    FFS, you’re eventually going to rule everyone out from being a “real right winger” due to some nit picking or other. Like Carter you will find it hard to start a revolution when you piss on everyone.

    You’ve become a real wrong whinger. As Clint said, you’ve succumbed to the same sort of victim mentality that Carter has. Poor you, the whole world is against you. You’re obsessed with attention seeking, like your mate Carter, and your fake approach makes as little sense.

    If you want to get support for some of your ideas you need to get people on side, not push them all to the other side.
