  1. Great debate there. Just loving the Daily blog!! Oscar Kightly was spot on on everything he said, particularly when he said “you pay $500 bucks a year and you make $233 million” That’s saying it like it is. So times that with the 25 year contract these foreign companies hold…holy heck, what a scam and a rort aye, these foreign companies are more than laughing their heads off all the way to the bank and must think NZers are really dumb, stupid hicks. It goes beyond the word of embarrassing, real Kiwis should be outraged!!

    I wonder if National’s other donor, Donghua Liu, (in a long list of dodgy ex Chinese nationals), and the tool for National’s smear campaign to demolish David Cunliffe for the 2014 general election, also has squeaky bum syndrome, as he is also wanted by China as well. A extradition treaty between NZ and China, could very well cost National a large chunk of its supporter/donor base.

  2. Good episode, also loved Oscar’s comments!

    As for Peter Dunne, Do a deal and Greens and Labour next election and get this guy out of parliament, he is a waste of space.

  3. One point though, Key’s National is the only government to dismantle and privatize state housing like they are doing. Labour built good quality homes, and John key scrapped Labour’s huge building scheme that they had planned in Hellensville when he first came to power. Labour builds homes, National flogs them off. Key’s government is a shocker, and it should be made as a warning for the future. NZ needs stronger and tighter laws to prevent any future National governments from gutting this country for itself.
