Anyone who's had to deal with him on transport matters is unsurprised by his lies. He couldn't lie straight in bed, that man.

Um, that’s not how I remember it, but I’m not in a position to fact check.
Ah, I see Russell has picked up on that in the latest post.

Southerly: This Week in Parliament: 2…, in reply to Alfie,
Key is already re-writing history by claiming (RNZ this morning) that taxpayer funding for the casino was never an option. Hold on... didn't he say a few days ago that taxpayer funding for such a needy cause was likely? The man's hypocrisy is shocking.
In the Herald this morning, he tried the "they did it too" option:
Mr Key said there was nothing unusual in the controversial original deal in which the Government agreed to let SkyCity install more pokies and gambling tables in return for the company building the convention centre.
"Helen Clark did the same thing actually, Labour forget that. That's how we got the first convention centre," he said. SkyCity opened its first convention centre in Federal St in 2004, eight years after the casino opened in 1996.
Um, that's not how I remember it, but I'm not in a position to fact check.

Also, the Board refrained from requiring the preparation of a bonding condition, given that NZTA is a responsible public body. It is now wondering if it should change its mind on that.
In government terms, we call that a spanking.

Recall there was a Commonwealth public service report that revealed ours was so depleted we almost couldn’t run the election process.
Ah, yes, I do vaguely recall that. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be in the Commonwealth's iLibrary, or anywhere else.

What was the inside-bubble scoop on our 1999 near-failure to be capable of conducting an election?
Not sure what you're obliquely referring to but then, 99 was a bit of a blur for me, getting diagnosed with clinical depression and getting medicated, and then my dad passed, so I wasn't really paying too much attention to the mechanics of election. I remember that National lost (and there was much rejoicing) but that's about all.

On another note (because it is Friday, after all), I saw this today:
