National Party rump voters don’t care Key is lying, but the rest of NZ certainly might.
The next part of this puzzle to unravel is the case against Sabin himself. Once the allegations are out there, the fury with when Key knew what will erupt.
National Party voters may wish to hold their nose and look away, everyone else who despises National are about to have a whole new reason to view the Party with contempt.
Judging from the comments from the natz supporters, their defence is attack and they are bringing out the comparisions with Helen Clark’s signing of painting and speeding blahblah. I don’t know that their attitudes will change when they find out there is no comparison. FJK will glide out from under as always. Although I am interested in why he is doing this. I read a comment on the toxic blob’s page from a natz supporter who asked the same thing. “Why is Key dying in a ditch over this when there is no upside?” Hhmm
The answer I gave today over at Dimpost –
Here’s how it makes sense –
‘– PM establishes well-earned reputation for being caught lying
– It gets assumed he will be caught out, therefore assumed that if not yet caught out he hasn’t been lying
– He carefully chooses to lie about others’ behaviour which when discovered will seem worse than his lying
– He gets to look, if not perfect, at least nothing like as bad as they are
– And he gets to look righteous demoting them.
Every time he does this he makes lying seem more normal and acceptable.’
So he can go on being caught doing it and count on getting away with it. Eventually it won’t matter what he gets caught doing.
Indeed, cognitive dissonance will keep those who have accepted his “fibs” before unable to now distinguish a difference and avoid having to have to acknowledge that previously they were gullible patsies.
Or as Mark Twain put it, “it’s easier to fool the people than persuade them they’ve been fooled.”
A big question is whether the public will ever be told if Sabin has been charged and what he has been charged with. See super-injunctions – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-injunctions_in_English_law
Interesting to see “parliamentary privilege” in there as being one way to get around a super injunction. Wonder if any of the opposition will resort to this to get the word out?
I can see it will be left to Winston to get this made public. No one else has the guts. Its obviously been known about for quite some time before any suppression orders were put in place, but all the different hues of politician and media have allowed it to be put to bed.
Pun intended!
National voters have become immune to Keys lies.
Elle, that might change quite radically, when they get wind of exactly the nature of the alleged offences Key is lying about and covering up! Because I honestly can’t see any voter, regardless of colour, tolerating this one!
The “nearly a Minister” is an interesting (risky?) line for Key to have followed.
Once the full weight and import of the “personal issues” reaches the public, they may look askance at a PM and caucus that would confer ministerial responsibility on such a character.
If Lauda Finem is to be believed, then Key is covering up and lying about a heinous crime, committed by an MP!
I’m more convinced than ever now and I’ve said this before, the reason for the judicial suppression order of the name of the alleged offender, as well as the alleged offence(s), relating to the “prominent NZer” is to protect Key and nothing else! It’s all about Key!
I’d say if the LF article is true, combined with Key’s evasiveness, then it’s enough to bring down this government!
But how do we expose him??
Link Sabin to the “Children’s Hour” scene from the movie V for Vendetta. People will react pretty strongly when they put two and two together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2SuiGJAEoE
The offences, one could speculate, are sexual in nature, given the super injunction and the secrecy surrounding this scandal. A news clip showing Mike Sabin entering a court house, (the day he resigned), would indicate that he has been charged with these offences, so they are allegations with evidence. The elephant in the room is that he was probably charged before Christmas because it usually takes some time to allocate a Court date for most people. To the moderator, I understand you may be reluctant to publish my comment but I believe there is no law against speculation.
Unless Admin decide otherwise, I will allow this, as long as further speculation does not venture into realms of defamation. – ScarletMod
