The Huddle from the other day, I got a bit busy and so only managed to get it ready for today.

The Huddle from yesterday afternoon on Larry Williams NewstalkZB Show.

I was on with travel Blogger David Farrar.

One of our topics was Labour dying in a ditch to cuddle sex criminals and paedos in jail. The other two were the Falun Gong “asylum” seekers and the moronic Moroney Paid parental Leave bill.

I am on the Huddle this afternoon on Larry Williams NewstalkZB Show.

No idea yet who I am on with, it might be that socialist number 2 blogger from Wellington if they can find him. From his travel blog I see he has been to Coromandel.

One of our topics is Labour dying in a ditch to cuddle sex criminals and paedos in jail.

As usual you can stream it live or listen on the wireless.

I will post the audio tomoro0w morning.

I was on Larry Williams show yesterday afternoon on The Huddle.

With me is the number two blogger.

Our topics were Crafar Farms, Greenpeace, ACC and SkyCity.

ᔥ NZ Herald

In the NZ Herald this morning there is an article that outlines the union bully boys:

Economic fallout is likely to linger for months from Auckland’s port dispute – but international union leaders say the effect on New Zealand products could have been immeasurably worse.

Visiting International Transport Federation dockers’ division secretary Frank Leys says even without formal bans against Kiwi goods, an enduring stigma would have settled over the New Zealand brand in markets without Friday’s truce in the dispute.

Mr Leys, who lives in Britain, said lamb sold in Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Sainsbury’s, “would have branded as black meat”.

Mr Leys, who represents 400,000 port workers around the world, added: “We would have talked about your wines in Sweden as having a little smell.”

Mr Leys, who came from London to observe the dispute as it headed towards a prolonged lockout of about 300 workers averted only by a threat of Employment Court injunctions, was guarded about the shape of any formal ban.

But he said that as cargo moved around the world, every consignment linked back to Auckland in particular and New Zealand in general, risked being “not treated the right way”.

That is nothing short of economic bullying. But then unions know no better. Have a look at this Facebook page where they  are going to start posting photos of “SCABS”.

And finally there is the Facebook Scab Busters page where they talk about me having a target on between my eyes:

The same page that features this image:

I don’t think there is any doubt that the wharves are going to become a very unsafe place with the return of the racist, sexist, bully boys of the Maritime Union.

The audio from yesterday’s RadioLive show with Willie, JT, Matt McCarten, and me:

David Shearer has claimed he doesn’t like gotcha politics, yet yesterday senior MPs Trevor Mallard and Grant Robertson, along with aspiring senior MP and former party president Andrew Little launched a disgraceful, untrue attack on Judith Collins, Simon Lusk and me. They continued their disgraceful attacks in the House today.

This attack is typical of Mallard. Make shit up, throw it, see what sticks, and brazen it out afterwards. These attacks are all based on “an anonymous email from a reliable source”.

The problem for David Shearer is while Mallard and his thuggish henchmen are running this kind of stupid, baseless attack all it does is continue to frame the Labour Party as the Nasty Party. It also detracts from Shearer’s leadership, as he looks like Goff did, when Robertson stood up to him and told him to be soft on Maoris or else.

None of this is going to go well for Labour. Ministers do not threaten defamation action without good cause, and as I know all parties involved in this dispute there is no way there is any link between Judith Collins and Simon Lusk. So school yard bully Mallard will be forced to apologise or will lose a defamation case. In the mean time his nastiness continues to brand Labour as the Nasty Party.

David Shearer’s leadership and chance of being Prime Minister is under threat by this kind of stupid attack where there is no evidence at all of what Mallard is saying. Politicians lying never goes down well with the public, as Anna Bligh recently found out.  He should take Trevor aside and tell him to apologise in full immediately, or he will be stripped of his portfolios and returned to the back bench. In fact he should strip him of his portfolios and the Shadow Leader of the House anyway.

I don’t believe that David Shearer has anything to do with these attacks, but he is as much a victim as those Mallard has accused. Just as he was the victim when Mallard got busted scalping tickets on Trademe, and Goff was a victim when Mallard chose to indulge in an asymmetrical war against me where he couldn’t win and I had nothing to lose.

Mallard has a history of defamation, and a history of scurrilous anonymous smears.

A quick search of Google shows Mallard has form.

He defamed Erin Leigh.

He also defamed Amokura Panaho along with John Tamihere. They had to pay her $7500 each for that defamation.

Then there is the case of his defamation of Rosemary Bradford. This story is interesting as there’s a claim Labour asked officials to provide the dirt on MPs spouses.  A bit like the Erin Leigh issue.

Then of course there was the American Bagman smear that went nowhere. He still maintains he was right yet hasnpt produced a shred of evudence to back up his allegations.

Now has taken a step too far, together with Grant Robertson and Andrew Little they have defamed Judith Collins, for which she is suing them, and also Simon Lusk and myself. They ar too cowardly to step outside the house and repeat the smears against me and Simon and so I am left to defend myself via the blog.

David Shearer needs to discipline all three but mostly he needs to yank Mallard back into line. If he doesn’t then his leadership is finished and we will be talking sooner rather than alter about Grant Robertson’s ascendency to Labour’s leadership.

I was on The Huddle yesterday afternoon with Larry Williams.

Number 2 is on with me.

Our topics were:

Gerry Brownlee’s comments about Finland causing a  bit of upset!

The Chris Cairns case in the UK where he won the libel case over the dodgy IPL guy who said he was a cheat on twitter.

The developments at the Employment Court about the Ports of Auckland and the lazy, overpaid, racist, bully, union scum holding the country to ransom.

The Huddle on Larry Williams Show last night.

Yesterday Duncan Garner is a fit of envy (I think) launched a nasty little attack on me. That post was used by a creepy stalker and Martyn Bradbury (both of whom seem to have a fixation with me) to launch more attacks. They, frankly are water off a ducks back….attacks that are like being gummed by a nana.

No matter. I am not going to address the shark-jumping of a so-called reputable journalist paid a six figure salary by a major network being so incensed over one sentence in a blog post on a blog he claims is read by only “dozens of followers” that he feels the need to write a special post on the 3News website.

In a sense he is right…on the day he posted his attack on me only 3237 dozens read my site. The day before 3633 dozens viewed my site. In any month your care to choose only 46731 dozens view my site. So yeah he is right when he says dozens of followers.

Someone asked me on Facebook what I was going to do about it. I told them that I was going to do nothing. The fact that Duncan Garner, a so-called professional journalist felt the need to post a petulant, nasty  and ill advised post simply means that I am being an effective blogger. I have already won the battle., it needs no more of my attention.

Duncan and I have since had a pleasant conversation about the issue. That conversation will remain between us. I hope he leaves his post up, it serves as a marker for the time Duncan lost his rag to a blogger with only “dozens of followers”.
