Kevin Moar: I just called Unity Books (having visited earlier this afternoon on a hunt for the book).
They told me that the book won't be available anywhere until Monday because (quote) "Whitcoulls have asked Craig Potton Publishers not to release the booka anywhere in the country until Monday so that no other bookstore gets the book before Whitcoulls"
If that's really true, I certainly know where I won't be buying the book on Monday.
Cr@p!

If Clark can stop grinning long enough she can now pop up on the evening news with her sternest face on and announce that she has asked the auditor general and the police to investigate these very serious claims.
Perhaps also new legislation to ensure such a thing never happens again.
Cut National off at the knees.
They nearly got away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids and that scooby, scooby doo!

I have a suggestion for Part II of Paul Goldsmith's Brash hagiography: "The Donald: From Don Juan to Don Gone"
(in Three Easy Steps Off the Plank.)Craig Y.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Malcolm just like CIA was never in central america eh?

Oh to be a fly on the wall at the Caucus meeting on Monday. Interesting that Judith Collins has put her name forward as a possible Deputy Leader. Did she know how that Gerry Brownlee was up to his neck in this?
-
Compie - yep, looks suspicious. Certainly leaves Brash's credibility in tatters. Demostrates fraud? I don't think so.

" Who reckons "Liarbour" won't be such a funny joke any more?"
Well I reckon it's only just become funny.

there once was a politician called Brash
who got into bed with rightwing wackos who had cash
in the end he didn't use protection
and got a nasty Hagar infection
and now all of National will develop the rash. -

Aagh.. but who played Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and the Scoobmeister in this version.
This is such fun :-)

Malcom said:
Paul: what election fraud? None of these plans were ever implemented as part of the election campaign.
Isn't that rather the point?
The Election advertising rules - summary clearly states that Non-broadcast advertising promoting party vote or attacking party or candidate must be authorised by the Party secretary and
Authorisation must be in writing. In addition, the advertisement when broadcast or published must state the name and business or residential address of the person directing it to be published. A Post Office box or website address is insufficient.
It's also classed as a Party expense which must be notified according to the rules and must not exceed the amount allowed by law.
Since this was clearly not the case with the Brethren pamphlets, and the whole thing was done in secret in order to circumvent the rules (well, it was supposed to be a secret), I would say it's pretty clear that not only was it part of the plan, it was part of a fraudulent and illegal plan.
Ooopsie!

Helen's definitely Daphne.
She's the hot 1.

(Not that anyone's going to dare say any such thing, but I can dream.) Sorry, but I do hope Labour seriously over-plays the faux outrage, as Cullen has been over the last couple of days regarding National's GST bill.

Gerry must be a porky Shaggy...
-
To paraphrase Idiot Savant, Labour just needs to sit back and pass the popcorn.
-
Speaking of National's GST bill.
Can someone please give me National's accountant name, I have an impending GST bill that I can be arsed paying, he seems to have great ideas. Don't pay it?
Bugger me, my grandad didn't pay tax once they tried to throw him in jail.
Next time mr GST comes knocking, my line will be "see my accountant c/- national party"
Thoughts craig?
-
Thats exactly the point here Craig, we have accusations winging around I would think even National party supporters will want to get to the bottom of it.
I wonder if, after the investigation, you all will still be nominating the Auditor General as man of the year? iirc he has rather a fundamentalist view on election funding law.
-
Does this mean that next time anyone from National tries to leave the country they'll be stopped at the border?
-
Oooh no. Labour needs to keep its foot on Nationals throat...certainly for long enough that others can get a hold....
-
Murray McC as Scrappy Doo, Velma though is a hard casting for the Nat Party, Judith C at a stretch
-
Now that you mention it, Bill English does bear a startling resemblance to Fred...
-
Stange scenario.
this actually keeps Labour in power come 2008.
Who will vote against Labour come 2011 when the All Blacks have just won the world cup in the brand spanking new Waterfront stadium that is the envy of the world.
Is if true National won't be in power till 2014, that just can't be true.
just pulling your rag Craig

Don Brash as the seemingly kindly old caretaker who is in fact the evil man behind the whole scheme.
-
And so its true. The book can't be sold until Monday.
With a new Borders opening, I think I've done my last shopping at Whitcoulls.
At least there's the media coverage all weekend, which means there's little incentive to actually buy and read the book for oneself.
-
So this is probably a conspiracy by Whitcoulls (which rich person owns them??) to stop Hagar making money...
