For those of you a little hard of imagination, this is what a real PM does: http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/austral...ace-fight-Rudd

Yeah

serious about a threat made two years ago to challenge the hunt in an international court

"Alright, Japan. I'm going to count to three. One. Two. Two and a half. Two and three quarters"

Not gonna happen.

Yea not like our PM. To busy trying to off load his Uranium shares to his son. Here's the PM of nuclear free country telling the world that he offered his shares to his son and the son not wanting them. What an embarressment. The son having more intergrity than our Prime Minister. No wonder many see Key as a Clown.

And if he does get to Japan and they do decide to put him on trial instead of putting him on the next plane out with a one way ticket, then the SS will hire a big team of hot shot lawyers costing zillions $ per hour..plus costs to defend their man....and 30 seconds into the trial the best thing the judge could do is say insufficient evidence or some such and "Case dismissed" I can see the hot shot lawyers all looking at one another...um now what? no big publicity trial.

Then as the defendant is walking out the court room, he gets hand cuffed and slapped in jail for being an illegal alien....after all he did not need to visit Japan and he did so knowingly without a visa....

Not saying anything negative about Skyryder here but (if I had one) my dog could do a better job than Key.

Well, since Faill Goof seems intent on throwing the next election, I presume Skyryder will be running?

You raise a good point there, Mr Mully. We are not spoiled for choice when it comes to good politicians. But I'd settle for Goff over any of the National front bench, tbh. Tolley, English, Brownlee, Smith (not Lockwood, he's been a pleasant surprise as speaker), Bennett, Lee... what a bunch of incompetents.

Not to mention the bullshit that comes out of them.

Seems English has caught on to this tactic as well.

His lie that the that the economy grew by 0.9% a year in Labour’s last term in office is a case in point. In fact the GDP did not average out to 0.9% in the three years of Labours last term as English claims but grew to 1.7% close to double of what English states.

Of course the 2.2% of the Nats first year looks good until you realize that the 0.2% growth in the June and September quarters are a dismal failure when these are compared with countries like Aus the US and UK who have had growth rates for the same quarter of over 1%.

If there was any competency we should be experiencing strong growth rates too but since English was too occupied in his taxpayer rorts, Key to occupied in his investment portfolio’s, photo ops and holidays, is it any wonder that our employment rate is still rising while they are in decline everywhere else.

I'll leave Brownlies lieing over conservation mining for another day.

that pathetic story and the fact that mouth breathers focus on it just shows why people on the left should not be allowed to vote..

Its a nothing story - but just shows how desperate they are. BTW I see goofy goff is still polling longer than helen clarke.

Now back to laughing at fucktard greenies who get in front of big assed ships.

Pathetic or not a lie is a lie. Says a lot about English and his not a 'good look' excuses. But you are right back to the topic.
