Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Sacha,
I'd have to read the actual emails to judge that, but I wouldn't be surprised.
What is very interesting is that Williams, in asking Slater about his cost structure, is doing so while working for Stephen Franks and says that he'll have to get Franks' okay to move forward for a client. Dragging Franks into the shit means it won't just be ADLS looking at its members...

Some behind-the-scenes work from the police or others has seen the Whaledump Twitter account shut down. Fairfax have a quote from Slater saying “good job.”
And intimating that it was his complaints that did it. Idiot. Maybe he thinks they won't dare hack him again.

Hard News: Show some decency, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
the Oxford English Dictionary describes it as “of obscure origin”, possibly deriving from a historical sense of “shy” meaning disreputable.
It's entirely likely that Shakespeare named his character "Shy-lock" and not "Abraham" or Isaac for precisely that reason. A Wikipedia says:
"Shylock" is not a Jewish name, nor is it known before Shakespeare's play, however scholars believe it probably derives from Shelah (Hebrew: 'Shelach'), the father of Eber and progenitor of Hebrew peoples.

National (45%) down after ‘Dirty Politics’ revelations, but Labour (26%) also loses support while Greens surge to 16% – highest since April 2012. Conservative Party at record high 3.5%
Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a sharp decline in support for National (45%, down 3%) following the revelations of Nicky Hager’s ‘Dirty Politics’ and a similar gain in support for a potential Labour/Greens alliance (42%, up 3%). However, the gain in support has come entirely from a rise in support for the Greens (16%, up 4.5%) – now at their highest since April 2012, while potential governing partners Labour’s support has declined to 26% (down 1.5%) just over two weeks before the New Zealand Election on September 20.
Support for Key’s Coalition partners has fallen slightly overall with the Maori Party 0.5% (down 0.5%), Act NZ (1%, up 0.5%) and United Future 0% (down 0.5%). Potential ‘king-makers’ NZ First looks set to return to Parliament with 6% (down 0.5%), while the Internet-Mana Party alliance has declined to 1% (down 1.5%). Support for the Conservative Party of NZ has climbed to 3.5% (up 2.5% and the highest ever recorded) and support for Independent/ Others is 1% (unchanged).
And
Electors were asked: “If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote?” This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile telephone, with a NZ wide cross-section of 762 electors from August 18-31, 2014. Of all electors surveyed 3.5% (down 3%) didn’t name a party.

not if she is convicted..
Not going to happen before the election, though, so she'll still slide in on the list even if her electorate revolts.
