When gaining $40m per year is SkyCity ‘losing’

The Government have had no option other than to privately threaten all sorts of hell to SkyCity for exposing Key’s short term money speculator failings when SkyCity tried to scam the taxpayer for an extra $100m. SkyCity have had to back down with a mere $40m per year until the Ice Caps melt later in the century.

This entire orgy of greed could have been avoided if only SkyCity’s lust for more money on top of the $60m half year profit they built on the backs of gambling misery had been enough for them, but it wasn’t! After negotiating an extra 3 decades to their gambling licence and concessions in law that allowed for an extra $40m per year, SkyCity decided to expose the dangers of Key’s loose interpretation of the rules in green lighting this project by being the vicious drug pushers that they are and trying to screw the Government for all they could.

Which has all proven to be terribly embarrassing for the National Party. In every opinion poll survey, the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind believe in open eyed honesty that National are better managers of the economy than Labour, this SkyCity fiasco and the manner in which Key just over rode all Public Service constraint to corruptly look after his crony mates in a procurement process that would make a drug cartel blush forces those who believe National are better managers of the economy to question that, and it is as a direct response to that voting block that has seen the Government flip from ‘no public money’, to ‘more public money or it will be an eyesore’, to’ extra public money is the least of our preferences’,  to ‘no public money’ again.

This sort of thing shatters the National are better managers of the economy mythology.

National wrap themselves in small business morality and trumpet personal responsibility for the elections, but their interests are purely corporate and empowering to monopolies. The moment National Party voters realise this, that is the end of the Key aspiration illusion, and that’s why the Government moved so fast over the weekend.

  1. Just to state the blindingly obvious, this odious “deal”, this mess of questions without answers, this money go-round, is all John Key, no one else.

    But now Brand Key is being distanced, protected, insulated, as I see Stephen Joyce is now the bogie man responsible for this dodgy, colossal fuck up. Joyce is involved of course but he was not responsible for this rort, Key is.

    National are going to extreme lengths to protect Keys image but really, not this time guys, don’t treat the public with anymore contempt, please, you’ve screwed us enough with this “rockstar” development!

  2. Now we wait for Sky City to get back to the government for more money.

    The likely handout will be in the guise of something else, agreed to behind closed doors in the dark of night! The modus operandi of slinking, filthy vermin!

  3. Yes this showed clearly that dirty politics belongs to the National party and no one else.

    Brand Key is being torn down now by the permeation of the rotten stench of corruption.

    The time for awakening is near.
