Hard News: Never mind the quality ..., in reply to Russell Brown,
This copy of the audio was retrieved by one of my Twitter followers because it’s been deleted by Radio Live. No wonder.
I do love the interwebs!

What Hager actually said was that he initially believed the prisoner moving instruction came from Bennett
Collins, but otherwise correct.

(That’s a royal ‘we’, folks, based on experience here, not on presuming the right to speak for anyone else).
Still waiting for the obvious 'trickle down' joke, Sacha...

Hard News: Never mind the quality ..., in reply to Susi Maclean,
Please don’t read any more into my perspective than that. I supposed I could be flattered that people would think I have that close a connection to ctrl govt. Plain truth, I don’t. My life is a heck of a lot simpler and cleaner than all that muck, thank God.
Whether it’s a full on political advocacy campaign or a government relations strategy for an organisation, lobbying or engaging across Parliament – strategic government relations is a speciality we know and are really good at.
Glass Tower moved determinedly into the government relations space after running the successful political advocacy campaign for the New Zealand Principals’ Federation.
Developing and implementing political advocacy campaigns in contentious policy areas, particularly with member organisations or not for profits, is our particular forte.
We also have significant experience in strategic government engagement strategies for CEOs or senior executive members new to organisations or a particular sector.
Whatever we do in the political sphere, we always work with experienced government relations consultants and political junkies to help you understand and speak the language.
Don't make the mistake of thinking we're stupid. We're not, regardless which end of the political spectrum we come from, and we have little respect for those who think that we are. (That's a royal 'we', folks, based on experience here, not on presuming the right to speak for anyone else).

5 minutes and 51 seconds in should spare you Jim and clarify Susi’s position…
My ears thank you.
[edit] That's enough. Susi, you're too glib for your own good. If Hager was a "grassy knoll conspiracist", he would have been taken to court every time he's published and would have lost massively. He hasn't been. You, madam, are guilty of the same smear tactics as John Key. If that's the sort of rubbish RNZ have hired you on for, then my decision not to listen is more than justified.

You need to listen to Susi’s spot on the show for the ‘knoll’ context.
That would require me to subject my ears to Jim Mora, and I don't want another HRC complaint from them.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Just correcting ,it was not yesterday, it was 2011 he contradicted all his claims yesterday.
Presumably, his memory was better then, as it had only just happened.

Two flags for me here:
1) How is anyone outside of the Prime Minister’s office gaining access to classified information to then leak it to Slater. If confirmed this surely raises new questions about the running of the SIS.
2) The PMs office is directly encouraging him to withdraw the request still implies more involvement in this particular release then they are currently prepared to admit and only confirms Hager’s assessment that the Prime Minister’s office works closely with Slater.Two excellent points.

I haven’t seen anything yet that would make me trust a single word that Slater says or writes.
When you wrestle with pigs, Lucy, you only get muddy. ;-)

As with some recent past Listener editorials, it’s possibly either Pam Stirling, Jane Clifton or Bill Ralston. Joanne Black fits, but she bolted some time ago.
Not Pamela. She doesn’t write them, but will have a a view on its conclusion.
My money would be on Clifton. Not enough hyperbole for Ralston.
