The real reason Crooked Billary has covered for Todd Barclay
Let’s be honest about why Bill English has done everything in his power to protect Todd Barclay because it just doesn’t make sense right?
Why manipulate the truth? Why pretend to know nothing about a secret recording, and then admit a secret recording, then suggest no such tape existed and then admit to being offered to have the tape that didn’t exist played to him?
Why pay money out of the PMs fund?
Why?
The answer is obvious.
National only have the barest of majorities in Parliament, here is a list of the legislation National have managed to pass by protecting Barclay…
- Housing Legislation Amendment Bill
- Social Security (Extension of Young Persons Services and Remedial Matters) Amendment Bill
- Trade (Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties) Amendment Bill
- Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement Amendment Bill
- Employment Relations (Allowing Higher Earners to Contract Out of Personal Grievance Provisions) Amendment Bill (National Party members bill – still before the House)
- Social Security (Stopping Benefit Payments for Offenders who Repeatedly Fail to Comply with Community Sentences) Amendment Bill (National Party members bill – still before the House)
…and here’s a list of legislation National will still be able to pass before the election…
- Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Oranga Tamariki) Legislation Bill
- Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill (No 2)
- Employment Relations (Allowing Higher Earners to Contract Out of Personal Grievance Provisions) Amendment Bill (National Party members bill)
…this protection of Barclay has occurred because it allows National to keep passing laws. This abuse of power has occurred to protect National’s agenda.
It’s time they were called out on this and punished at the ballot box.
Maybe Barclay is the love child of English and Paula Bennett …
@ KROPOTKIN … oh please, my stomach isn’t strong enough to even contemplate that thought … pass the bucket quick …
It all makes perfect sense doesn’t it now the WAY YOU PUT IT SO CLEARLY.
Yes the NATZ must be rejected come september.
It’s time they were arrested and charged with Conspiracy to Obstruct, Prevent, Pervert or Defeat the Course of Justice…
With apologies to William Simon Shakespeare
Friends, Kiwis, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Integrity, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Integrity. The noble Bill
Hath told you Integrity was continuous:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Integrity answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Bill and the rest–
For Bill is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak at Integrity’s funeral.
It was our friend, faithful and just to us:
But Bill says he was faultless;
And Bill is an honourable man.
He hath brought many immigrants home to Nuzillind
Whose donations did the Party’s coffers fill:
Did this to Integrity seem ingenuous ?
When that the Todd have lied, Bill hath crept:
And filled the air with evasive stuff:
Yet Bill says he was virtuous;
And Bill is an honourable man.
You all did see that in the House
He was thrice presented with opportunity for truth,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this Integrity ?
Yet Bill says he was scrupulous;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I need not speak to disprove what Bill have spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did hear him disseminating without pause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for it ?
O Integrity! thou art fled beyond the Government benches,
Where men and women have lost their honour. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Integrity,
And I must pause… till it come back to me.
Seaweed, you are right.
Integrity is buried.
I see the Govt is selling 2500 social housing homes in Christchurch to Manus!!!
This is beyond belief. They have to go on 23rd of September.
(different play) “Out out black spot!!”
Contrarily I see the Heralds Brian Rudman sees no real issue with Barclay apart from the issue clearly lying with his office staff, not him.
He was unconcerned with the lying PM or the extreme efforts that National Party henchmen went to to subvert the Police investigation.
In short Brian just didn’t get it.
But he felt the intern msrae matter far more concerning.
Yes, I was shocked at Brian’s take on Todd versus the interns.
Protecting his pay packet???
Writing to please someone??
Very odd indeed.
All depends who is paying the piper ?
They’re politians. What else would you expect? And the missing million will give the buggers another 3 years.
Yes seaweed, you are right!!
Integrity is buried.
I see the government is selling 2500 social houses in Christchurch to….
MANUS.
In politics timing is everything…
the heavily indebted home owner will ignore any level of corruption because they cant afford any disruption of the status quo can you imagine the affect of 10s of thousands of kiwi build homes and income assessed state rentals being built on mass who would buy over priced legacy homes all new purchases would want the new homes the renters simply cant afford a labour government so lets give the greedy bastards one.
