The other week we started pulling off the covers of people secretly working away pulling the strings of Auckland Mayoral candidate and Labour MP Phil Goff.

If there was a credible right wing candidate the lefties would be running amok trying to see who was pulling the strings. It’s only fair then that the good people of Auckland know who is behind Phil Goff’s campaign to head up the largest city in New Zealand.

Aside from the obvious issue of taxpayer funding his campaigning under the guise of Labour’s Spokesperson for… Auckland issues (check out his Facebook page below), Aucklanders should know who is potentially pulling the strings of the man the Media Party are pimping for Mayor.   Read more »

As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. When he’s not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.

They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet. Cam Slater doesn’t do quiet and, as a result, he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist who takes no prisoners.

He is fearless in his pursuit of a story.

Love him or loathe him, you can’t ignore him.

It’s about time the covers are pulled off the people secretly working away pulling the strings of Auckland Mayoral candidate and Labour MP Phil Goff.

These people would prefer to stay in the shadows, but I’m sure Nicky Hagar would be supportive of more sunlight on the activities of the left.

Let’s have a look at his chief spin merchant and campaign manager for starters.

David Lewis is his name.

Many will know he ran Len Brown’s hit squad when Lenny’s little dalliances with Bevan Chuang became public. Len’s other political operatives like Phil Wilson, Glyn Jones, James Bews-Hair and Conor Roberts all battled between themselves about how to spin the Mayor’s rooting.

Lewis was brought in to tidy up the splattered mess, but by then it was too late, the Mayor was spent. He even sent an abusive text to Radio Live’s Duncan Garner: “Kckn hell Duncan. You’re feeding utter fckn bullshit” in an attempt to kill media interest in Len’s affair.

Then there were the attacks and threatening texts to Bevan Chuang that had all the hallmarks of a dark-arts practitioner. Lewis denied the text was from him, but not the spin, nastiness or smearing that came out of the Mayoral office during this time.   Read more »
