Yes , but will he give an interview without Bill English in tow.
And will they again ask him he he believes in God ( without taking 4 attempts to give a reply)

I watched the interveiw, Lisa Owen was rude and was trying to act as if she was tough by getting yes or no answers from what are complex questions. She also forgets that its quite a while until the next election hence as tracy watkins pointed out its natural that John Key cant have policies for everything at this stage of the electoral cycle.

Yeh he’s presented two major policies since taking over the national policy making board:

1. That we can have major tax cuts as long as you give all the money away

2. National believes in business and charity should jointly control the means of production, distribution and exchange of meusli bars.

No you cant get much better than that can you?

John Dalley, Porcupine,

Do you really expect John Key to provide H1 and H2 with a bag full of stones so that they can throw them at him, this far from the election.

Wake up, you know that Key does not have to win the next election.
Helen, Heather and Micheal are making a great job of losing it for him..

What other western democracy would let the oppositionleader wait 4 months before giving a ‘major’ interview ?

But of course thats the point, the spin Doctors who charted Dons course are now saying ‘ define yourself BEFORE you let the media define you’
Spin 101 being followed to the letter.

Still waiting for the ‘outdoor pursuits’ question since apparently he doesnt have to have any policies ( the charity one makes that a lie).
Will he admit to having no outdoor interests other than lounging around a Parnell pool.

Kuk it wasnt his first major interview, Agenda just said that to hype the interveiw up and get veiwers.
I actually think the article with John Key and Bill English in the investigate magazine was the most indepth interview that we have seen. With this mornings interview anyone who follows politics closely would not have learnt anything, despite the tryhard nature of Lisa Owen to sound tough.

DB, the opposition MPs are still in parliament to do our bidding.

How many more people have to die, be raped or brutilised before Key comes out swinging and says what we all know – that its the crims that are out of control in this country, not the police. He could be making massive political gains out of this.

Twist the sword in this morally bankrupt governments viscera I say.

Kuk exposes himself as a Labour troll on just his first post. Not even subtle.

Not a single serious journalist or commentator ever pushes the English co-leader angle. It’s pathetic and silly and is only pushed by Labour in the House.

But the Labourites are so stupid they do not realise that using that line is a sure fire way of showing they have no interest in serious political debate. Their only interest is to disrupt.

Micheal Cullen seems intent on using that slogan all the time, Its quite sad that he would drop to such low levels, given that he is in the twighlight of his political years one would hope he would act more like a statesman. When Cullen leaves the treasury benches the Politics of Nastiness will have lost a cheer leader.

Excuses excuses excuses– sooner or later Key will have to step up to the plate. Right now, with is endless equivocation, he’s an embarrasment. I say again, in my estimation, John key is a novice with no in depth understanding of complex social and political issues. Nor does he want to understand. He wants only one thing, and that is to be able to write on his resume that he came from a state house to be the Prime Minister. My view is that Key is driven only by this ambition, and not by any need to bring NZ back from the political wilderness of collectism/ socialism. He will be a disaster as a PM.

Remember Key is still playing some complex financial games with his own money while being National finance spokesman and now leader.
He has a share in a dairy farm and also an outfit that is offering financial derivatives based on Fonterra shares. Of course there is no real money in owning a dairy farm ( the current payout is the same as 10 years ago) so you have to ask if the goal is to get the billions that would come from putting Fonterra in private ownership as opposed to a cooperative. This process would need policy changes, so would Key be in a postion to bring about these changes if he was PM? There seem to be a number of ex NP cabinet members involved in this area so are they going to be pulling the strings .
Naturally Keys job at Merrill Lynch was in global currency speculation would give an idea of the level of risk hes comfortable with

FFS…

Memo to TVNZ: If you want people to watch your bloody shows you have to promote them! You do want people to watch Agenda don’t you – or is it going to be pulled in a couple of weeks and everyone made redundant (a little closer to the target) because of low ratings?
