“JOHN
I think you think I came up the river on a cabbage boat. I can tell you that when I signed my declaration for the mayoralty I signed it in good faith in the knowledge as a Justice of the Peace as true and correct. I have nothing to fear and nothing to hide and I welcome the inquiry and everything will come out in the wash, Mr Holmes. I’m more invested in the real issues of investment growth and jobs and providing working opportunities for 80,000 of our kids that are out of school and out of luck.

PAUL
But are you saying – because it is illegal, you know, don’t you, that if you know where a donation came from, to claim it was anonymous. So is what Mr Dotcom is saying about – your eyes perked up, your eyes went big at the mention of 50 grand. And so the fella gets the chequebook out and you’re sitting there and he writes a cheque. I mean, are you saying that he’s lying? Because that’s what he’s saying.

JOHN
I don’t know why you’re going on about this. I have nothing to hide.

PAUL
Is he lying?

JOHN
It’s a media beat-up. Yesterday I was going to jail. Today I’m going to be cleared. I mean, that’s what the media get up to, and you’re beating it up again. Look, we’ve got an inquiry…

PAUL
Mr Banks.

JOHN
I’m very happy to have the inquiry. (CHUCKLES)…….”

Really?

Is John Banks ‘fit for duty’ as a JP – let alone a Minister of the Crown?

You may remember that former National Government Ministers, Richard Worth and Pansy Wong both left Parliament, (not just their former Ministerial positions) under a cloud, although neither faced proceedings in Court?

Is it because this MINORITY National Government – with only 59 out of 121 MPs is desperately reliant on the pivotal vote of ‘dodgy’ John Banks, that PM John Key is continuing his shonky defence of the arguably indefensible?

Given that Prime Minister John Key’s apparently shonky actions over the Sky City Convention ‘deal’ are under review by the Office of the Auditor-General, then perhaps the public shouldn’t expect too much in terms of ethical leadership at the highest levels of the NZ Government – despite NZ’s ‘perceived’ status as the (first equal) ‘least corrupt country in the world’?

but to party apparatchiks who weren’t tipped off so they could fake prescience!

Blasphemy!

I love the media saying ‘no-one’ saw it coming. All that means is they missed it completely after days of telling us confidently the only change of any significance was Nick Smith’s return

Ahhh, perhaps that’s why it’s seen as ruthless in some quarters – not to the Ministers involved but to the tame journos and party apparatchiks who weren’t tipped off so they could fake prescience!

…And as for those like Nash and Jack5 who think Key is only in it for kicks and/or a knighthood. That shouts volumes about their own shallow values and what they would do if they were able to choose.

It’s not about values, but about brain chemistry.

Key and others who enjoy risk are just following their brain imperatives. They have lower levels of dopamine and need novelty – and/or risk — to stimulate their brains.

I bet you won’t find any currency, futures, commodities traders with Key’s level of success who isn’t low on dopamine.

People who can make Prime Ministers are a dime a dozen, as the Americans say. People who can make superb market traders, like Key, are rare.

And as for those like Nash and Jack5 who think Key is only in it for kicks and/or a knighthood. That shouts volumes about their own shallow values and what they would do if they were able to choose.

Not by this Cabinet reshuffle.

National PRs and Bellamy-bamboozled press gallery denizens label John Key’s reshuffle as the decisive action of a ruthless leader. The former are interested in public perceptions, the latter work in a political goldfish bowl.

Hekia Parata’s still in the Cabinet after the teacher payroll fiasco. This might have begun under another Government, but National has been slow to confront the problem. How can the reshuffle be ruthless when she stays?

Key is a high-stakes gambler, an adrenalin addict, as his currency trading success showed. He can hold positions long after others have crumbled, and can cut losses where others would procrastinate. He enjoys the adrenalin of high risk positions, such as letting the NZ dollar stay madly high, and such as his post-election about-turn on smacking legislation. Perhaps even keeping Parata – against public expectations — pumps a little adrenalin.

Folk who seek kicks to counter adrenalin deficiency are often impulsive. Perhaps the Cabinet reshuffle, to a mild extent — and the backtracking on smacking legislation, to a major extent– are the impulsivity of an adrenalin junkie.

Without having his personal fortune at stake in NZ politics, IMHO the likelihood is that John Key will suddenly find it all too boring — too adrenalin deficient — and beetle off to Hawaii permanently.

Haven’t you got some crime reporting to do?

Why is DPF so silent on her failings?

Could loyalty and blind faith be the answer?

“What they have had for the past year is a minister who is woefully out of her depth, and who resorts to meaningless jargon when asked to explain the policies she is implementing.

Education Secretary Lesley Longstone paid the ultimate price for the class size, Christchurch school closure and Novopay debacles that dogged education in 2012, but Ms Parata must also bear a considerable share of the blame.

Her abject failure to explain the merits of plans to marginally increase class sizes and use the savings to boost teacher quality fuelled the massive public backlash that forced the Government’s embarrassing U-turn.

She also failed to ensure that Christchurch parents, teachers and school boards led the reorganisation of schools in the city, instead allowing it to be run by bureaucrats in Wellington.”

Why is DPF so silent on her failings. Lets face it if this was a labour minister we would probably have a daily report on the torrent of critical media comment on her abject performance, punctuated by the odd strategic “Ouch”.

ruthless
adjective merciless, hard, severe, fierce, harsh, cruel, savage, brutal, stern, relentless, adamant, ferocious, callous, heartless, unrelenting, inhuman, inexorable, remorseless, barbarous, pitiless, unfeeling, hard-hearted, without pity, unmerciful, unpitying a ruthless totalitarian power

NO doesn’t fit those adjectives.

Neville Key is a gutless fraud and Liarbor Lite are shit. I HATE EVERYTHING!!

Who am I?
