Popular Capitalism, Ctd
‘Popular capitalism‘ is how Winston described the sale of Auckland Airport to a majority of New Zealand investors.
Of course he denies it now.

Winston Peters, known liar, is threatening to sue David Farrar:
Political comeback king Winston Peters is threatening to take legal action against a right wing blogger, just hours after finding out he’s coming back to parliament.
In the final days of the election campaign blogger David Farrar alleged the New Zealand First leader’s candidacy was illegal.
Mr Peters has vehemently denied that.
In the final days of the election campaign blogger David Farrar alleged the New Zealand First leader’s candidacy was illegal because he hadn’t gone through the correct registration process.
Speaking to podcast The Slightly Correct Political Show Mr Peters says he won’t stand for such outrageous actions and hinted he’ll take legal action against Mr Farrar.
I’m disappointed that Winston is suing Farrar before me. Especially after I had words with him in the studio this morning at Tv3. I’ve called him a liar, corrupt and a thief….no matter what I do I can’t get him to sue me, so kudos to Farrar for getting a reaction. Of course Winston lies at the every opportunity so this is probably just another big bluff full of bluster and bullshit.
Last night Phil Goff lied about Police recruitment.
Note that in the debate clip – he said ALL recruiting cancelled – that is a total lie… and he now won’t admit he got it wrong. To make it worse he gets way too angry when he is challenged on it – as demonstrated in the Plunket interview. This is a desperate man who is not handling the pressure well.
The Police Commissioner, the Police Minister and the Police Association all contradict Phil Goff and now he is dying in a ditch over his lie.
Sean Plunket tore Phil Goff apart and challenged him to show us his proof of his allegations. Phil cut and run in interview when the questioning got too tough.
Sean Plunket flays Phil Goff over his Police lies by whaleoil
Again you have to wonder why Phil Goff even did this on the penultimate day of the campaign, a day when he should be skewering the government on Asset Sales. Instead he gets fed a line that blows up in his face and now he is spending the day reacting in the much the same way he did when he lied about the SIS briefing.
I have some questions for Winston Peters that he needs to answer:
Winston Raymond Peters, 65, pensioner of St Marys Bay was on the NZ Herald Live Chat and as is usual from him he lied through his teeth:
This is an outright lie from the get go.
Refunding Parliamentary Services for illegal spending isn’t a gift. National paid back its GST oversight with a donation of paid airtime for community groups. Those community groups actually got the benefit of National’s refund. In stark contrast the NBR shows that Winston’s “gift” was nothing more than a sham. Worse he manipulated a victim of crime for his own political purposes.
Winston Peters has much to answer for. The problem is the man can’t tell the truth. When he says anything yo simply can’t trust him.
Phil Goff has accused John Key of telling lies, he has refused to retract. In Phil Goff’s world if you say one thing in the past and then change your mind or do something different no matter the circumstances then you are telling lies.
Well since Phil Goff decided to ignore his own press about focussing on policy and not personality let’s continue the examination of Phil Goff’s lies using his own definition.
Phil Goff on Capital Gains Tax:
In September 2009 Phil Goff said that Capital Gains Tax was not an immediate priority. It didn’t appeal to Labour.
Now just two years later Capital Gains Tax is heroically going to fund their more than $17 billion of extra spending.
Using Phil Goff’s definition of lying, of saying one thing in the past and doing another thing in the future, despite changes in the economy, or global situation, then clearly Phil Goff is a liar.
Phil Goff stated last night that he has never lied. Never mind his lies over the SIS briefing, he laid out plenty last night in the debate.
The most egregious lie though was when he stated that Labour would never have mined in a National Park, except they had:
On 12 March 2004, Minister of Conservation Chris Carter approved the access arrangement for Pike River Coal Ltd. The arrangement included four 1.5-metre (4.9 ft)-wide emergency escape shafts within the boundaries of Paparoa National Park and a requirement for Pike River Coal Ltd to spend NZ$70,000 annually on conservation projects. Carter stated that the “safeguards and compensation” outweighed the inconsistencies with objectives of the Conservation Act 1987 and the relevant management plans.
I’m glad Phil Goff has decided to focus on lies, we can now focus on 27 years of his lies.
David Parker has put a weaselly explanation on Kiwiblog for his lies:
Garth McVicar has today (25 October) said that the Sensible Sentencing Trust has not made donations of money to any political party, including Act. It appears from his statement that the only gift the Trust itself made to Act was David Garrett. What donations, if any, came from members of the so-called Sensible Sentencing Trust to Mr Garrett or Act I do not know.
Those are just weasel words, David Parker. That isn’t an unreserved apology and retraction. It is rude, condescending and still leaves his lies hanging out there.
Not good enough. I hope Garth McVicar sues his weaselly arse off.
Trevor Mallard is focussing on the things that matter to Kiwi voters…like how much politicians get paid. In his opinion it isn’t enough.
Nice to see him continuing his usual form of telling big fat lies. He suggests that he took a pay cut to become an MP, considering he was a school teacher before entering parliament this is hardly likely to be true.
Why does Trevor Mallard, when given a choice between telling the truth or telling a lie always pick telling a lie?
It looks like she is conning more people, this time in funding her alleged mountaineering efforts.
Regular readers will know all about Pearl Going, aka Sian Pearl Going, aka Sia-Pearl Going. Just to recap here is a list her claimed fame:
From the Northern Advocate article we have yet another thing to add to the list of amazing things she has done:
One of her reasons for taking on the challenge was to prove herself after a brain injury she suffered in a car crash in Dubai in 2006.
The injury took much of her memory and put a stop to her studies. When she returned to Whangarei after the accident she could no longer find her way around or remember people she grew up with.
Maybe that explains the remarkable memory recovery she constantly spouts as above. But it is highly unlikely that the head injury even exists. I have seen fabricated medical evidence of this and if she keeps on saying it I will publish it all. But you can tell this is all a fabrication when you read banal tosh like this:
It was also the realisation of a childhood dream. Reconstructing her memories with the help of family members, she learned she had nagged her father to take her to a real mountain, Ruapehu, when she was 4 years old. At the age of 7 she wrote in a diary that her goal was to “climb to the top of the world”.
“To discover a dream again, when you’re old enough to do something about it, is a gift,” Ms Going said.
Wow, another thing we can add to the list. Wrote in diary at age 7!
Basically Pearl Going is a lying little minx. It looks like she has conned the Northern Advocate and Sony, Adidas, Scarpa, Marmot, Discovery Channel (yes she has their logo in her promotion photos) with her latest escapade. If I were them I’d be very concerned about being associated with a fraud and a cheat like Pearl Going.
Finally the only evidence she has allegedly climbed this mountain is a photo of someone with goggle and a hood on at the top of a mountain.
Is this really Pearl Going?
Mountain climbers I know tell me that when you “summit” you always throw back the hood and show your face so there is evidence that you did do it. Not so for Pearl Going. Her guide however shows his face in an unpublished photo. There are a few more from her Facebook page, but not an awful lot from an expediction of this size.
UPDATE: Pearl has a blog site
