If we're keeping track of Brash's next set of blatant lies, this one from that Herald story has to be a doozy:
He was expecting to attract financial backers, but "I have none of that lined up".

Cracker: RIght On., in reply to Craig Ranapia,
we have a party whose presumptive leader isn't even a member yet
Brash joined up yesterday morning before the media conference. That it was merely a matter of 'procedure' before then shows what really counts and where power lies in that shady cesspit that has lain beneath both National and Act for years.

There's even been a reference from the Brash camp to the Epsom polls being bankrolled by a "longstanding admirer of Brash". Well, who?
Quite.

now that Key has ruled out Brash of finance, and said it's 'highly unlikely' he'll get a top job
I'd take that with a sack of salt. All depends on how much of the vote they get - and what the shady backers of both parties tell their boy Key to do.

Given that all Maori have the choice of dis-establishing the Maori seats by voluntarily transferring to the general roll, can't we let the market sort this out ?
Great argument

Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to Matthew Poole,
they didn't have an opportunity to articulate said position
Parliamentary debates are hardly the best place for that. They had months to do so through other channels. Just try asking most voters what the opposition would have done differently. Then consider if that might have something to do with their current likelihood of forming a government after November.

Hard News: The file-sharing bill, in reply to nzlemming,
Their way IS the highway, according to RadioNZ this morning
Transport Blog discusses Joyce's latest fact-free tarmac-licking government policy statement (or "GPS") which proposes spending even more public money on motorways like the essential Cambridge to Taupo route. Comments have useful links including RNZ interview and the GPS doc itself.
If Labour and the Greens can not successfully take on this madness (let alone what Brash will add to the mix) then they richly deserve to be booted out of parliament by voters.

Not likely to change under Brash either, who left under the cloud of scandal
Lest we forget the dodgy dealings of Brash, Key, Joyce and their brethren, NZ On Screen has posted the full length Hollow Men for all to view (embedded, 149MB for first clip of 5).

I'm glad *someone* picked up on that one :)
