National has The Property Council; Labour has to cheat a bit for its war chest. It’s a fault in the system. The cost to the public of NZ is that New Zealanders: “fail to value their own land holdings” [Connal Townsend -Property Council] and loose their soveriegnty to the Chinese.

Nicely edited. Does Whaleoil have some background in video editing?

Labour has to cheat a bit for its war chest………………

What an arsehole comment, its not cheating ” a bit,” its at the very least stealing time off the employer, thats the very least, and it sounds like already that parlimentary services are intended to be a support unit for a political campaign.

Go and run a few more fucking raffles and buy your own computers, ..wankers.

Kudos to Whale if he has been leaked something pivotal. As long as it is not the product of a Hollow-Men style theft, then he should be fine. Cam’s pretty on to it when it comes to verification, I just worry someone might set him up one day.

Whale is no fool – I’m sure that veracity of material would have been checked before anything was posted. Besides, the bleating has started, so the fact that they’re already trying to out the source, suggests he’s on the money.

This will be a fun watch.

Somewhere in Te Atatu, a Coyote and his Jackal are laughing. Why would Whaleoil need to hack when someone is perfectly prepared to leak?

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

What’s bad for Labour isn’t neccesarily good for National because no one likes a nark. It is good for the Greens and Mana though. Gives them the chance to capture the moral highground.

Taiwanese Descent with a Desire To Blame Everyone Else For His Own Problems – “no one likes a narc” – seriously that’s the best you can come up with? Is it really that bad for the left? Oh dear.

___________________________________________________________________

Actually, once all the dust settles it’ll be quite liberating for the left and the right and the centre and the up and the down and whatever other misdirection you want to point out that takes the heat of how piss poor Key and English et al are.

As much as National would like to distance itself from Whaleoil to protect Brand Key, the mere fact that he’s a staunch party hack means this has the potential to blowback right in National’s face.

Tanned Taiwanese with Dependence – Righhhht, the NZ taxpayer is going to be upset that Whale narced on Labour stealing our money. Good one. So you’re basically trying to tell us you’ve got nothing to defend this? Nothing at all?

Are you certain that Whaleoil is a National Party member never mind a “party hack”? I’m fairly sure that he resigned a while back…..last year from memory.

I reckon the Whale leans more to the ACT party lately.
Imagine if Cactus Kate stands as an MP for Act, what with the whale running interference and Kate’s fearlessness in debate, the left would be running for the hills.

I am picking that cactus would become the target of a shit campaign the likes of which have never been seen before in NZ.

Much like the attacks from the left on Sarah Palin.

Jeeze I hope it happens, ordering popcorn as we speak.

It’s not my job to defend corrupt political practises. Labour deserve everything coming to them but you just want to hope they’re not the only party with their hand stuck in the publics cookie jar.

And surely even a a halfwit likeyourself nasska can see the dirty tricks brigade of National behind this latest outing. Coincidentally timed to release with a dip in smile and waves ratings. If not then i’m gonna have to upgrade your status to fucken fullwit.

And yeah we the NZ public don’t like nark’s nor dirty tricks campaigns nor mining of conservation land nor state asset sales to ourselves of shit we already own.

If anything this shows an increasing desperation by National. How low will they go and how much lower will whaleoil lower his standards to support them is what interests me.

I agree on the likelihood of a “shit campaign” but I feel that it is a given since the left are so far out of the running. Point is that Cactus doesn’t know how to back down or give up & anyone who underestimates Whale deserves what’s coming.

Could be a great year to be selling popcorn.

@Black with a Vengeance..may I ask just what is your Job? If it is not to defend corrupt practices, I do hope it is productive, like manufacturing export items or somesuch.

Are you certain that you are not offering me a promotion? If I can make the transition from half wit to full wit I would normally accept your comments as a compliment.

You n—-es are very tricky.

Sorry BWAV.. I did not read far enough, I see your job is that of official classifier of blog commentators,.

I can’t wait to see what you classify me as, do tell go on. ( I hope it is the venerable fucken fullwit) Cause I qualify with honours. I will have to accept the clasification given your own powerful status.

Sorry nasska, but there should be room for the 2 of us as fucken fullwits.

Must be a bastard being the Sunday rostered one eh BWAV.

nasska – yes, approval from Tanned Tawainese would be a bit of a worry wouldn’t it? It’d be like Keith Locke saying your ideas are economically viable and scientifically credible.

The hail of protest over at The Stranded is highly amusing when you put it into context of the Hollow Men book.

I think the “You Reap What You Sow” is fitting!
