  • Hard News: #JohnDotBanks and all,

    He flannels his way out of any tight spot like a sycophantic liar. Bankers of his calibre are good at that.

    I kind'a hoped John Campbell would pile into him the way he did to Clark. I couldn't tell whether johnkey was rather good at being a complete Banker or Campbell was going soft, I suspect the latter. John Key is not that bright when it comes to things like ethics and morals, plausible denial is his friend and it appears truth is the enemy of finance and those that practice that dark art.

    3410 you are a moron and a coward hiding behind a synonym.. To think Key is telling the truth is telling people to deny any knowledge of anything is an acceptable statement

    Woah, steady on there…
    What Threefer said was…

    I hope for their sake that they’ve got some evidence for the thinly-veiled implication that the PM was… less than truthful in his claim that he’d not even heard of Kim Dotcom until the day before the raid.

    I hope for all our sakes someone calls johnkey to task over the ineptitude of his statement that he knows nothing and nobody ever tells him anything, it is utter bollocks.
    If johnkey didn’t know then he should not be PM.
    Simple as that.

    As for the story that Kim Dotcom put on the fireworks as a big hello and thanks to Auckland…
    Auckland City Council (Mayor John Banks) Put out this Media Statement

    Auckland will welcome 2011 with the biggest fireworks display since the millennium celebrations.

    The countdown to 2011 will be marked by two coordinated pyrotechnic displays – one from Sky City’s Sky Tower and another from two barges anchored on the Waitemata Harbour.

    Like I said "Kim Who?"

    Flamboyant former hacker to settle in NZ

    Former Auckland mayor John Banks was among others to extend a welcoming hand to Dotcom.

    He met the businessman when he was Auckland mayor to ask for help putting on a fireworks display in the city's harbour. Banks later attended a New Year's Eve party thrown by Dotcom at the city centre apartment of now bankrupt property developer David Henderson.

    He said it provided a great view of $500,000 worth of fireworks bought by Dotcom and detonated over the Waitemata Harbour.

    Banks said he offered advice to the millionaire on how to apply for Overseas Investment Commission permission to buy the Coatesville mansion Dotcom had rented since coming to New Zealand.

    Kim who?.

  • Hard News: It's Choice, bro,

    Unfortunaltely it’s not on satelitte, so we can’t pick it up

    Yet another win for Sky TV, they et all the “lucky breaks”.
    The coverage of terrestrial broadcast is really quite minimal in terms of area.

    Freeview|HD is available to 86% of NZ homes and can be picked up using a UHF aerial connected to a Freeview|HD receiver;

    That 86% of NZ homes relay just means the Main Centres, the rural folk are stuck with satellite and that means no Heartland, no Choice,
    I don’t think many people get a satellite dish without it being through Sky TV so, lucky Sky I guess.

    ETA.
    With the analogue switch off just around the corner, this should be of great concern to many people .

  • Hard News: Reputation and remuneration,

    Come to think of it there must be cctv footage of johnbanks at Kim's crib. Oh, hang on...

    When the IT expert arrived at the police station, the reports said, he apparently found the server completely disassembled, and authorities said they could not reassemble it or give him any footage.

    Q.
    1. Would there still be "footage" 14 months later?.
    2. Would that "footage" show johnbanks?.
    3. Would the Police help johnbanks?.
