  • Hard News: A thing that rarely ends well,

    Well what do you expect from TVNZ. Why they had to have the reporter in the Viaduct. Must be to justify investment in new equipment.

    More seriously, I do not think Glenn is at fault, Labour are simply reaping the whirlwind from their confrontational approach to election finance reform.

    This is coupled with the error Cullen made in calling Key a <quote> rich pr*** <quote>, whilst all the while the party was courting Glenn. Glenn is reputedly a very rich pr***. So there is a perception of double standards.

    Further, he spends much of his time travelling so he is effectively non tax resident anywhere, so perception is not a good one.

    Williams then compounds the issue by changing his story.
