Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Ben Austin,
If i recall correctly, the Wayback archive can have items removed, if someone is determined, although I’m sure helpful souls have taken copies of all the files there, just in case.
:-) You betcha. Nothing really scandalous though, just a spat between former BFFs is my take.

Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Trevor Nicholls,
If true, that’s suggestive that he was a servant not a rogue, n’est-ce pas?
Sorry? Don't understand.
He worked in the Opposition Leader's office, under Brash, then Key kept him on and took him into the PM's office, for reasons no-one seems willing to understand or enumerate. When National started gearing up for their campaign, he left the PM's office and moved (presumably to Willis St - Nat HQ) to the campaign office, to do nobody knows what or is willing to say. However, media reports indicate he still has an electronic pass to the Beehive.
No-one credible, apart from Key (and then only by inference) has ever suggested he was a rogue - he was definitely an employee of Parliamentary Services and then Ministerial Services (where I might point out he was bound by the Public Service Code of Conduct).

There is no Jason Ede, There has never been a Jason Ede.”
We have always been at war with Jason Ede.

Interesting. There is still a Cactus Kate Twitter account. I suspect it's a bot as it appears to be posting Russian proverbs, in Russian. But Slater did link to it from one of the deleted posts, so I assume she used it at some point.

Does anyone know if Jason Ede still has a job?
It has not been reported that National have fired him, but he has rather become a non-person.

My sense is that she’s taken more heat professionally than the others – extending to losing her job. That being in Hong Kong, not squeaky-clean New Zealand.
Presackly, Bungle. I suspect their bustup is the real deal - he's screwed her career and so she knifed his pet pollie so he's ripped down all her posters. Can't wait to see what the next escalation is.

Looks pretty obvious that the order for removal probably came from Odgers, looking at the list of links.
Having browsed through (and taken PDFs, for shits and giggles), I think it may be more symptomatic of the falling out between them than an order for distruction. Most of the posts are favourable to Odgers, in a Slateresque fashion.

And the national library has been harvesting the whale oil blog every three months (roughly) since 2008 and cactus kate every six months (roughy) since 2008
I love you. ;-)

At least Wayback doesn't keep the comments.

I gather they’re all still available on the Wayback Machine.
Not everything, but most. When Odgers memory-holed her site, there was nothing left in Wayback because she had a robots.txt that forbade crawling.
