Fuck really, 450 texts? can't anyone pick up a fuckin phone & call someone anymore?

Hillary Clinton couldn’t. 10000 missing texts.

Had you forgotten about that one....
Turns out our overseas Local expert doesn't know about the memory loss where someone forgot about the 450 texts to the person and a statement they had to make to the police and arranging a tax payer funnded payout when they claimed no knowledge of the situation.
But as long as we are be fair here.
If i was to say look back i would see the same comments from all you guys calling for resignations etc no mater who it was especially considering there was verifiable proof there in tha situation

[Swoop]

How would this be proven, you are talking a lot of if's

IF an email is discovered, indicating that the tooth monster was informed of this debacle before she claims to have been made aware...

I'm sure Parliament services are rather busy with OIA requests at the moment.

Heres an idea Swoop, if you quoted the entire quote of mine you might appear to have some credibility on the subject.

Would for instance 450 texts between them and a secret payout directly out of the PM's leaders fund ie tax payer money be enough to prove they were aware of the allegations?
Or could they say they were was not a party to the dispute, and they did not know what the dispute was or how it was settled, Despite the 450 texts directly between the PM and the alleged victim?

But, but, but National......

Sounds about right

[austingtir]

Even top sycophants like Alison Mau are struggling to resist the urge to put the boot into Derpcinda on this one....

Okay then Jason show some examples where i have presented something without there being or without having the facts to back it up?
#hint they might be those graphs pictures and information you refuse to read.
If its true that i do, it wont be hard for you to produce the evidence then. Now will it. Unless of course you are a bit confused again.

Sounds about right

Jason, thus far, zero evidence from you after a few days.

[austingtir]

I thought as much, zero evidence from you even after a few days.

Nobody on here needs evidence to know your full of shit.

It's all in the Herald (which your tooth fairy apparently doesn't read...).

Maybe you need to go back to my post and read what it was about.

[pritch]

then she deliberately lied to the public.
A resignation would be appropriate

Now now. They all lie to the public and NZ politicians resign only very rarely. You can't get them out with dynamite.

If they lie to Parliament though, that's different. They couldn't care less about anybody else, but they take themselves very seriously.

[jasonu]

So apparently owning up to a totally avoidable fuck up will make it better and hopefully make it go away. What a thick cunt.

Apparently "it could happen to any party"

Apparently "it could happen to any party"

Someone has a very short memory because not so long ago National was offering to cover up sexual allegations against someone if they stepped down.

As first reported by Newsroom on Tuesday, complaints about the Botany MP were raised with the party’s leadership in at least one case.
The response of Goodfellow and others was not to drum Ross out of National on the grounds of poor character, but to help broker a confidentiality agreement ensuring the public would not know.

In the case of former National MP Todd Barclay, who resigned following a Newsroom investigation into allegations he illegally recorded a staff member, Goodfellow and National’s board allowed his re-selection for Clutha-Southland despite being aware of a litany of complaints about his conduct.
Glenys Dickson, the affected employee, alleged that board member Glenda Hughes had urged her to withdraw a complaint to police, citing the possible impact on National’s parliamentary majority at the time.
Dickson also received a payout from the National leaders’ budget, which then-Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said at the time was “to avoid potential legal action”.

In the case of National MP Dr Jian Yang’s ties to Chinese military intelligence - another Newsroom investigation - it was revealed that Goodfellow had handpicked the MP for its list in 2011.
The party president said Yang’s background had been vetted by public relations firm Saunders Unsworth - a claim later refuted by the company.


Not to mention the conservative leader September: Conservative Party leader Colin Craig resigns as party leader amid allegations of sexual harassment of his former secretary. In the messy leadership dispute which follows, Craig is suspended by the party
But of cause you guys were totally indignant about it at the time

other wise you guys would be pretty hypocritical

Yes, that's why I'm agreeing.
Even their leader is but Nashnil'ing.
