lies

Most MPs go to parliament to make a difference. Most are reasonably honest or as honest as a politician can be. Few of them though deliberately make shit up or lie straight up.

Trevor Mallard isn’t one of those. Given the opportunity to speak his default position seems to be to lie.

During the 2005 election campaign Trevor Mallard told two proven lies. The first was that National was being funded by American Bagmen. When confronted with his accusation he strangely shut up and failed to produce a shred of evidence. The second lie was that the Government had sold the Skyhawks. Trevor had lied about that sale before in 2003 and he lied about it again in 2008. The Skyhawks were never sold, no monies ever received and now the government is giving away the Skyhawks as statues for towns, RSAs and cities.

This election Trevor Mallard has been appointed Labour’s campaign manager. Given his track record in telling lies it is certain that this campaign will be filled with Labour lies and especially from Trevor Mallard.

Take the other day for instance. Trevor was proclaiming Labour’s great billboard extravaganza. I commented and Trevor replied…with a lie.

This is a lie.

The billboard clearly has an ‘authorisation’ on it and no parliamentary crest. All the billboards likewise carried the same authorisation.

At all times the crest has been required for Parliamentary funded material.  No crest = no Parliamentary funding.

Trevor Mallard may be confused with the billboards that Bill English ran, which did have a Parliamentary component – but this was long before Parliamentary funding of this type came into the public spotlight.

It was all within the rules of the time.

Yes it was outside the 3 months – just as Labour’s billboard campaign now is – and Labour imposed the odious Electoral Finance Act to stop it because when they were in Government it was apparently ’cheating’.

If Trevor Mallard wants to talk about this stuff maybe he could talk a bit about the $20 million working for families advertising campaign? The same campaign the Auditor-General found breached regulations.

As I said at the beginning of this post Trevor Mallard is a liar. His default position is to lie, and I have set out why I believe that Trevor Mallard is a liar. He has a proven track record in lying. It is highly likely that anything that Trevor Mallard says is a lie, given his proven track record.

Labour are going to let a proven liar and political cripple run their campaign. Make no mistake that they will will lie when they can.

National hastily amended Labours silly ETS so that John Key could wave a piece of paper at Carbonhagen. Of course he was promptly ignored in favour of a bigger liar when it came to climate change, Kevin Rudd.

Now we hear that Carbonhagen is in disarray. The poor countries have worked out that they will stay poor and China has worked out the whole thing is a farce. In fact Carbonhagen has been nothing but a whole heap of hot air.

Lord Monckton covered the Liar in Chief’s speech in detail and it is posted at Watts Up With That. A better fisking of a speech you will not see. Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC basically lied from beginning to end. Perhaps the only truthful part of his speech was when he named himself.

Both Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair have noted that the people who want a Copenhagen deal look like this. Do these people really look like the kind who’d know best how to run your economy?

As the world Climate Change/Warmist consensus falls down around the lying scientists ears, meanwhile back here in New Zealand it is business as usual. Only the NZ Herald has picked up the story and devotes a pathetic amount of coverage to what is the biggest scam in the history of the world where an elite group of climate scientists have conspired to massage data, dodging scrutiny, hounding out sceptical editors, fudging figures, the possibly criminal destruction of data under FOI request, tax avoidance, gloating over a sceptic’s death, character assassination of sceptics. admissions of using “tricks” to “hide” inconvenient trends, farming grants, private admissions of grave doubts in their own public warming warnings, close collusion with green groups, the joint concocting of the most alarmist announcements and much more.

Nick Smith is busily stitching up a deal that will need to be passed under urgency, bypassing electoral scrutiny in select committee and all by bribing tribal leaders with a trip to Copenhagen. It is all there in black and white from Nick Smith as I said yesterday.

The bizarre thing about this whole stitch up is that no-one knows exactly how much this is all going to cost us to bribe Maori into supprting something the majority of their MPs oppose. In the NZ Herald this morning we hear the windfall for the select group of elite maoritocracy is to be around $50 million per annum or so says Mark Solomon, the very, very close friend of Sacha McMeeking, the Billion Dollar woman. The Herald even hints at the corruption involved, albeit subtly, with its headline. “$50 million deal buys Maori vote on emissions”

Meanwhile Colin Espiner says that Nick Smith says that it is only $25 million and he has a treasury report to back it up and then we have “a leaked email sent to iwi leaders by the head of the negotiating group, Willie Te Aho, the deal is worth up to $2 billion to Maori, depending on carbon prices.”

What sort of Mickey Mouse outfit do we have here?

How can the biggest danger to our economy be passed under urgency so that New Zealand and its aging kapa haka group can wave a piece of paper at a dead conference in Copenhagen to say we were first and all based on science that is daily proven to be a lie?

UPDATE: The Standard’s author MartyG agrees with the Whale.

An Epic debate is underway in our country. Proposed climate legislation would have a far-reaching impact on your standard of living and give government a portal into every aspect of our lives. The affordable, dependable and abundant energy upon which any great civilization is build is about to be rationed. Climate Chains is our effort to engage the culture, to petition a more reasoned approach to the intellectual debate that to often gets lost or overlooked in the irrational rush to pass climate legislation in an atmosphere of national and global panic. When you’ve built the greatest civilization in human history, fundamental changes in the economics of that system must be made with the most sober of consideration.

Sex allegation against Worth withdrawn – The woman who laid a complaint with police against Richard Worth has withdrawn her allegation of a serious sexual nature, saying the political fallout is punishment enough and she “wants out”. Her friend, who helped her to go to… [NZ Herald Politics]

The MSM won’t name her, yet the police have investigated and deemed there is no evidence to support her allegations. Note the difference here between “not in the public interest”…this is not one of those, it is not even a prima facie case…there is actually zero evidence to support her allegations.

Now don’t get me wrong. Richard Worth is a sleaze and I am in no way condoning his conduct of preying on drunk women and trying to get his leg over at every opportunity. However this woman thinks she has got away scot free after getting a woman’s revenge for a night of drunken sex she regretted.

WOBH is not so squeamish that we won’t name the woman. She is Jennifer Kim, a company director with a chequered history. In the Korean community here it is well known that false accusations are her stock and trade. The local community is also somewhat more forthcoming with details of this woman. The New Korea Herald published an article about this whole sordid affair. Don’t bother Google searching it, it is in Korean. I have taken the liberty of obtaining a translation. Excerpts below;

” Richard is an innocent and foolish man”.

New Zealand media is heating up to find out what is the true motive of Ms Kim and her boy friend. They came to National Party office with a compliant saying Richard Worth had an inappropriate sexual relationship with Ms Kim.

The general sentiment in NZ is leaning towards sympathy for Richard Worth who stepped down from the minister posture.  They seem to believe the things happened is far from the alleged “rape” considering they had sexual relation last March  and had breakfast  next morning in the same hotel then they met and enjoyed some time together at a Karaoke bar in downtown Auckland.

Chinese media including New Zealand Herald and Dominion called us and mentioned Ms Kim’s full name. They were questioning who she is and the sex scandal involving her and ex- president of Korean community 6 years ago. They also sought for the articles of an immigration scam she is believed to be involved in. They even tried to get an interview with Ms Kim’s family member and already finishing meeting up with the ex-president of Korean Community who claimed himself as a victim.

NZ Media said that Ms Kim’s sister who grow apart from her for the last 4 years  is worried about the situation  and was afraid to tell her mother in Korea what is going on.  A  former business associate  said ” I know Ms Kim’s personality very well” adding ” Richard Worth is a innocent fool. He didn’t do anything wrong.”

Dover Samuel who was stood down as a Labour Cabinet minister amid swirling allegations of sex with a woman in his care aged under 18. Police cleared him of any crime, but he was never reappointed to the Cabinet. He said he was willing to offer support to Worth.

Very interesting. It seems we have some common threads between Neelam Choudary and Jennifer Kim. They are both dodgy. They both sought interaction with Richard Worth, Choudary at the prompting and pimping of Phil Goff. They are or were both involved in immigration scams.

The boyfriend mentioned is Jennifer Kim’s business partner, Feroz Khan of Kaukapakapa, Auckland. My sources tell me that again there is a common link here between the two cases. Mr Khan is very well connected in the Indian community along with Neelam Choudary. Mr Khan and Jennifer Kim though aren’t that popular as property developers having had at least one of their companies liquidated on court order by Inland Revenue.

Is all this sounding familiar? The similarities are striking between the two cases. I am sure there is more to this story than meets the eye.

I wonder what Phil Goff knows about all of this?

Hide and Peters box clever – Winston Peters and Rodney Hide are embroiled in a new slugfest – this time over who paid for a trip that the Foreign Affairs Minister made to a glitzy world-title boxing fight in Las Vegas. Act leader Rodney Hide has raised what… [NZ Herald Politics]

It seems that the blogs were extremely well informed.

From the HoS article this morning it seems that the answers to my questions are as follows;

1. How much is an airfare between Berlin and Las Vegas? $10,000 + or – $5000
2. Who paid for it? Probably Mfat
3. When was that paid back? Show us the receipts Winston
4. Since when did Mfat have diplomatic missions in Las Vegas anyway? They don’t, it was a personal jaunt
5. How much is a night at the MGM Grand? Between US$499 and US$1500
6. Who paid for that? Possibly George Calvert but he is laying low in Fiji.
7. How much were the tickets at the boxing match? $100 – $2500
8. Who paid for that? Possibly George Calvert but he is laying low in Fiji.
9. What on earth does a Christchurch cleaner know about all of this? Quite a lot but he won’t talk.
10. Why is he hiding in Fiji? Everyone associated with Winston is lying low right now.
11. Did he really get paid back immediately? Well, Winston says so and we all know we can take his word for it don’t we.
12. Why does racing, boxing, rugby league and fishing always come up? Strange isn’t it?
13. Who played golf at Titirangi on 2/07/2006?
14. Which Mfat diplomatic members play golf?
15. Did an Allblack great overhear the post match conversation?
16. Is this the reason why Helen won’t/can’t sack Winston?
17. Where will the documents be to counter these rather puzzling questions? Exactly, I wonder where the documents are? Should be rather straight forward to clear up, probably only take about three minutes.

It seems that there may be rather more undeclared donations and pecuniary interest in the murky and sordib life of Winston Raymond Peters, 63 List MP of no fixed abode. Of course Winston could clear all this up in about three minutes if would just show us the receipts from the repayments dated immediately after the trip.

I suppose then, that if other documents surfaced that showed the repayments were a couple of weeks ago then that would look really rather suspiscious wouldn’t it?

Not content with rorting New Zealand elections, two Labour MPs – including a Minister – have been sprung meddling in Australian elections.

In a move that breaks all conceivable political conventions, here we have Labour MPs wearing badges promoting the QLD Labor party, out campaigning with a candidate. Labour were keen to exploit the “American” boogeyman at the last election, how long before Australian’s wake up to this insidious, foreign meddling in their elections?
