Re Parliament today – it was a very, very grubby game, almost convincing me it is totally corrupt, while verging on totalitarianism!
Not only was FJK slurring his responses when questioned, which incidentally were not responses in the true sense, but also apart from his speech being totally indecipherable in most instances (the result of a too liquid lunch perhaps?), it didn’t seem he was actually answering the questions at all. Instead it seemed he was skirting around the edges with the most irrelevant answers! And the Speaker did not at any stage challenge him!
The three opposition leaders gave it their best to expose FJK re the tax haven/ foreign trusts and his connections, but were thwarted more often than not by the Speaker protecting FJK, virtually making sure he was not required to answer!
After James Shaw’s second question to the PM, the camera very quickly shot to FJK and I managed to get a fleeting glimpse of him shaking his head at the Speaker, indicating he did not wish to respond. The Speaker obediently complied. Instead of making sure FJK responded as he should have done, he directed Shaw to re phrase his question!
Almost every question from Little, Peters and Shaw was bounced back at them, to avoid FJK having to reply, courtesy of Speaker Carter, who I suspect could be up to his eyeballs in the financial murk with FJK!
If this is the low level our Parliament has sunk to, then we are in trouble, big, big trouble, when the elected PM of the country is not required to be accountable!
I’d be interested if anyone else has any comments to make about today’s disgraceful session!
maybe he is on drugs?…cocaine?
You mean like that main shady money making character, Jordan Belfort in the movie, ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’?
Thanks for bearing that pain of watching that parliamentary circus.
That speaker is a absolute sham skirting his responsibilities as he so often does, and needs to be fired for his irresponsible behaviour, and should also resign along with his paymaster the Traitor – corrupt Key.
PM says he has no link to Mossack Fonseca. He’s gone through everything, so he knows for sure.

Yes Mary,
Thanks for bearing that pain of watching that parliamentary circus.
That speaker is a absolute sham skirting his responsibilities as he so often does, and needs to be fired for his irresponsible behaviour, and should also resign along with his paymaster the Traitor – corrupt Key.

OK, so what about the blind trusts “honest” John?

interesting he has to go through “everything”…he should know immediately…what else is there we should know about?
…i have always thought he is possibly too smart to get caught out in obvious places where people hide their money eg Mossack Fonseca
