Cunt Key

[Jackal]

Me thinks he has kept quiet due to the fact he might be a bit red faced he lost all that money on those shares. Since he has portrayed to everyone he is a savy business man!

Sorry about the thread name but I can think of no other word that 'so' describes this man.


John Key has got to be the ‘most’ hypocritical cunt in Parliment. He stands up in Parliament and pontificates on Clarke’s dishonesty in respect to the Owens/Peters loan and yet his lack of integrity is demonstrated by his purchase of 50,000 shares of Tranz Rail in Keys own name, and get this, while at the same time criticizing the Labour Government for wanting to buy back the Rail. Keys lame excuse on TV news that no one 'asked' and he lost money in no way excuses the fact that Keys purchase of the shares was too profit. Too profit while at the same time oppose Labour's buy back of the rail has got to be one of the most cynical and unethical actions I have ever witnessed in all my time of political activity. I’ve seen some shockers but this without exception beats all.



Skyryder.

I think your confused over what actually happened there, but given the strength of your rant I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.

That aside, even if he robs the country blind though I'll still take him over Comrade Clarke. I'd rather live in a financially bankrupt country than a morally bankrupt one, and thats what we have now!

yeah the Yanks thought that too about Clinton as well and put peanut brain in the whitehouse look where they are now and their slowly taking everyone else with them

It's the nature of our political system that the opposition lambasts anything that the goverment come up with - except payrises for themselves that is.

Helen won't dump on Winnie - he knows way too much.

looking at the topic, I thought you meant "credit card"

[Deano]

Say what you like about Key, there is no way in hell Helen is getting my vote.

9 years is long enough to make a change and look at the state of the country.

Nanny state be damned.

Someone in the paper a few weeks ago said something along the lines of " The only time a politician is telling the truth is when he's accusing one of his colleagues of lying".

Best of luck Skyryder. Don't think you'll convince the "rugged individualists" around here to hold any vaguely negative views of Key, but have fun trying...

Or you could go live in the USA and get both!

Blimey, next you'll be saying all polititions are out on there own power trip and what they can get out of it for themselves, forget the content of part of there phone calls.

Rodney for president...........go hard twinkle toe's.

Ok I see Liarbore has raised this as a new issue. Completley coincidental it was on the same evening as the Priviledges Committee report which was so damning for Liarbore and Winston First...

Im still amazed Liarbore is getting more than about 5% of the vote. Guess theres always people that will vote for them because they and their family always have irrespective of what they're doing to the country.

It's politics Bullit. Yes Labour's timing for this is perfect. Labour's revelations on Keys share trading practices limits his ability to jump on the moral high ground. And I stress the word 'limit.' Keys lack of integrity in failing to declare his interest in Tranz Rail will limit him and National the ability to portray themselves as honest.

Keys actions give Labour an ‘out.’ I’m not going to make any predictions on this other than to say there may be some new faces going after him. John Key has made an enormous blunder and Labour will milk it for all it's worth.

If you have any sort of ethics and integrity you do not profit from that which you oppose. Pretty simple realy. I think even a baboon could understand that.


Skyryder

What he opposed was the government buying Toll's assets. Damn right, hard to imagine a more fiscally unsupportable waste of taxpayer's money.

As a potential private investment however it was a good punt. If the taxpayer hadn't been so outrageously generous Toll stocks stood to increase in proprtion to the nescessary ramp-up in tech services only they were in a position to offer.

They're still in that position, however it's now unlikely the taxpayer can afford to avail themselves of them.

No double standards I can see from Key there, when you totally fuck a market sector all common sense goes out the proverbial window.

Indeed. I was thinking 100' yacht and a crate of Bollinger.

I don't actually like Key all that much, he's FAR too centrist for my liking, and I have a genetic predisposition to not like jewish moneylenders. I'd much rather we still had Brash. Or better yet Muldoon.. Or even better yet Muldoon and Margaret Thatchers lovechild.. that'd get my vote for emperor of NZ.

New Zealand buisness was in full support of the buy back. That's the only reason Labour went for it. Shit you don't think for one minute this had anything to do with Sunday trains rides down to the beach for a picnic with mum dad the kids etc.

If you can not see the double standards then I can not in way offer further furher comments on Keys actions. Key himself was well aware of his gaffe by his embarressment on TV when questioned by the female journo. He's fucked it and knows it.
