Australian briefing background on Clark

Oh this is hilarious. An Australian moron has handed out to the media, copies of the confidential background briefing on Helen Clark. The Herald reports:

The notes added: “She does not trust those outside a small circle in Labour and her chief of staff, Heather Simpson, is known as the second most powerful person in New Zealand (known as H2).”

It says her views are “generally left wing, with foreign policy perspectives forged during the Vietnam War”.

Nothing too surprising there. It could be worse. DFAT did this once before and left in a room the entire set of briefings on various Pacific leaders. That was real warst and all stuff – including how one Premier was known as Mr 10% as that was his bribe/cut on all contracts 🙂
