Giving sheep to person who sold them & refusing to release Cabinet papers after claiming they support your evidence – the new standards

This is almost bewildering…

Saudi-bound sheep bought from man Govt gave them to
Nearly 200 of the pregnant ewes flown to Saudi Arabia to stock an agri-business hub were bought by taxpayers from the same businessman the Government gave them to as part of a multi-million dollar deal.A total of 900 pregnant awassi breed ewes were flown to Saudi Arabia for a “pilot research breeding programme” on a farm owned by Hamood Al Ali Al Khalaf in October 2014.

A spokeswoman for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise – one of the agencies involved in setting up the farm – said 195 were awassi ewes from Mathews Station in central Hawke’s Bay, which is owned by Awassi NZ.

…So McCully’s attempt to bribe Al Ali Al Khalaf because Key and Carter assured Al Ali Al Khalaf live sheep exports would restart, required us buying sheep from him and then giving those sheep back to him???

How much is a free trade deal worth with a country that treats women slightly better than they do the sheep we’d be exporting to them?

At some point the rat is simply too big to swallow isn’t it?

If that’s not eye rolling enough, we then have Key insinuating that Labour played the same game, Labour say ‘show the Cabinet papers’ and National then refuse to release those papers…

…are these really the new political standards middle NZers are happy to accept as long as their property speculation bubble doesn’t pop?

Sounds like something Campbell Live or Native Affairs should investigate. Oh wait.

When the media start focusing on a $30 000 door instead of a gross abuse of $11.5m, it highlights how petty they’ve become.

  1. It’s a dirty old world in New Zealand these days. We’re slowly sliding down into a quick sand of muck and all these National voters think they are exempt from it
