A couple of interesting points in this thread.
1. Someone with Free Scott Watson is his sig is perhaps under qualified as a judge of character
2. National, Labour et al. All different sides of the same coin.
3. The only efficient way to run the country is to bring back Finn

Skyryder
Free Scott Watson.
Are you blind?? take a look at all the Nat apologists and their posts.
He got caught and only resigned when found out.
Personal responsability my arse. He was doing a housing rort and now he's tried another one and even after repeated warnings he still kept at it. It's mindset thing. Fuck the taxpayer I'll shaft them for all they are worth.........................................casu e they are just the plebes...............and don't know any better
Skyryder
Free Scott Watson.
Don't worry it looks like the books will be opened on all ministers including Labor's 9 years...........will be interesting.
But seeing Skyryder would have us believe that National started it........I would say they were following Labor's lead:
Shane Jones broke the rules but comes clean before the release of details of Labour expenditure 2 yrs later. Wonder how many more will get caught out.Originally Posted by Shane Jones - NZHerald
Tracy Watkins has an interesting take on it.
It seems that none of this came up under the Labour government was because instead of being honest and providing an itemised bill, as the transparent National government has done, they provided a summary total to Official Information Act requests. Thus neatly obfuscating the real truth of how much Labour rorted the tax payer.
Thank fuck National is at least more honest and upfront than the Labour party. And thank fuck they're at least willing to take responsibility for their actions.
I know this is bad according to Skyryder, but I personally would prefer a political party that does not lie, does not obfuscate the truth and is willing to take responsibiltiy for their mistakes.
Now there is a concept that has been missing for the last 9 years.
It seems liarbour has mastered the art of hiding the truth... Cullen's handling of the financial area comes to mind with the missing BILLIONS and the total inability to balance a set of scales, let alone a budget for an entire country.
No wonder so many liarbour MP's resigned from politics after the last election! They knew that their future was fucked once the books were opened.

This is so right on that its scary, I dont think we have got over that shambles yet and many unfortunatley are clinging to the raft of the new lot, I,m sure time will show that agenda's are still the same, just different mechanisms are being employed. I suppose you would have to give the nats 9 years to compare, sadly I dont think it will take that long.
