Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Rob Stowell,
neither the National Party hierarchy nor the Prime Minister, nor campaign manager Steven Joyce, nor the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff has commanded that a data-trawl of all communications between the Government’s executive wing, Ministers, political appointees, and National Party hacks, and Cameron Slater the founder of Whaleoil.
Possibly, they know it's been so widespread, and lead from the top, that there's no way to counter it so they just going to make believe it never happened. Good luck with that strategy.

Nice summary Tussock, but I’ve never considered Key to be “hyper-intelligent”. Quite the opposite, in fact. Have I misjudged the man
Never make the mistake of thinking he is stupid. He cultivates the persona, as tussock so eloquently points out. But you don’t get as high up in Merrill Lynch as he did by being that stupid.

So what happened to all the righteous anger about the asset sales?
It's still simmering, Graham.

Lawyer Details - Odgers - NZ Law Society.pdf
Here's a little item I found interesting. On Monday 1/9/14, I visited the Law Societies register to check Odgers' details and printed it (PDF attached).
Today, I visited and saw this
Note: you won't even get that page if you search for her.
If there's any of the legal profession on here, it gives you no benefit to have your professional body appear to be hiding things. We do know how to find them.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Stephen Judd,
As side note, the claim that Josie Pagani had been hunting with Slater um… surprised me.
Nothing either Pagani does would surprise me. I often wondered if they wandered into a Labour Party party and decided that the factions were easier to manipulate.

Actually I verified it myself using the PGP signature. But Stuff says that Nippert has also verified it based on content (rather than encryption).
Ah, right. Thanks.

Oh, most definitely and in minute detail. And I'd say that whether it was Collins or Cunliffe under the gun. This just is not the way elected officials should behave.

Only if money passed to a person at Cabinet level. If they just paid Slater to pass it on through his channel to Collins, that's "just" lobbying.
