The lies and record of Peter Goodfellow

Peter Goodfellow has finally put out a letter to delegates (Will they even recognise you). It is only just hitting main centres so very likely most delegates will miss getting it. The mark of a true campaign amateur.

I promised I would stop calling Peter Goodfellow to account when he stopped telling lies about his achievements. I also promised I would prove everything I said if he kept on lying. Well his letter to delegates is nothing short of an orchestrated litany of lies. Therefore I will prove what I have been saying all along.

In the documents which are attached below I have redacted non-essential names and electorate or branch details. I have left the rest intact so you can see what I am talking about when I say that fundraising has exclusively been from the Victory Fund and/or levies.

Board Minutes June 2010

Board Minutes July 2010

Victory Fund Allocations 2011

Electorate Levies 2010

You will see that the finances of the party are in good heart, but you will also see that they are in good heart, not through the actions of the President but rather through the hard work of the members in each electorate or branch.

Now onto Peter Goodfellow’s letter to delegates.

Peter Goodfellow - Lie 1

Well excuse me if I don’t die laughing. Point by point: reliable membership system, bought and implemented by Judy Kirk, they showed it all off at the last conference. Fundraising? what fundraising? Reinvigorated policy involvement, uhmmm there is ONE remit being debated at conference, doesn’t sound particularly re-invigorated to me. Full campaign readiness….excuse me? You only just appointed the campaign chair last month and advised in the minutes of the board meeting you were going to have a talk with him, plus the candidates college hasn’t met for a year, if you think that is campaign ready then you are as fake as your botoxed forehead.

Peter Goodfellow - Lie 2

Active involvement in the party at all levels? oh please Peter, why tell such big whoppers. The simple fact is you got drunk and dirty in young nats, buggered off overseas, came back and did nothing until you decided to pad out out your very thin CV with Chair of Publicity Committee, held no meetings during your tenure of the Publicity Committee and then plopped yourself down on the board where your sole contribution was to stay awake and nod vociferously at everyone elses ideas. I hear Judy Kirk, bless her, had to implore you, beg even, to get you to comment on board decisions. You’ve got President of the National Party on your CV, now run along and annoy some other group with your indolence.

Peter Goodfellow - Lie 3

So what are you saying Peter? That the other Regional Chairs aren’t committed to the party at all levels, nationally and locally? Balance? Does that mean you dribble out of both sides of your mouth? If National must run a strong nation-wide campaign then why are you out there talking about a two-ticks campaign? Surely you were awake at all those board meetings with Judy Kirk, bless her, where she said nothing else other than “party Vote National”. It seems you are doing more of the bidding of caucus than the party, that’s why there is just ONE remit for conference and no debate on things like the ETS and why caucus are running interference behind the scenes for you. You would do well to remember it is the party that elected you to the board, not caucus.

Peter Goodfellow - Lie 4

It’s always about Peter Goodfellow first isn’t it? You just shafted the hard-working regional chairs with your snarky back-handed comment about focus and now you are asking for those same hardworking people to put you first. The party is smarter than that. They should put you last and send you out to pasture. The fact that you have Michelle Boag and Murray McCully (Is it true that she has been telling delegates that she is the “Auckland Mafia”? I mean really, why would you say that?) running interference for you as well now should put the shivers up most delegates.

I didn’t want to publish the details of party communications and finances, but I had to because Peter Goodfellow keeps claiming the hard work of other people as his own. Dear Lord, have you even written a speech for this year considering you had to nick Roger Bridge’s last year for your acceptance speech, yes Peter I have spies everywhere. No one likes a liar, and no one likes someone who claims other peoples work for their own. Put Peter Goodfellow last and select the other three hardworking candidates for the board positions. Peter’s claims are as fake as his wondrous new persona. We need real party members on the board not plastic or card-board cutout fakes. A weasel without a moustache is still a weasel.
