• Ngaro boasting of corruption?

    This is of course entirely consistent with NAtional just happening to
    remove funding from charities that darte to critice the government,
    but is perhaps geetting a little explict . . .

    But National are divided:

    "Finance Minister Stephen Joyce told Newshub Mr Ngaro’s comments
    weren’t damaging to National, just "a little bit of naivety from the
    new guy".

    "Alfred’s realised he’s overstepped the mark there," Mr Joyce said.

    Political commentator Matthew Hooton said if Mr Ngaro has been quoted correctly, he'd need to be fired for "almost boasting of corruption"."

    An image is shown of Hootons message: "If report is true,
    @pmbillenglish really should sack @AlfredNgaroMP immediately. He's
    almost boasting of corruption. …"


    Steven Joyce's comment is effectively an admission that Mgaro hasn;t
    yet learned to lie like an experienced Nat MP, but the charge of
    corruption from a supporter of the right will be harder to shake . .

    Now Ngaro has apologised to the PM for his comments - not because they
    are not what he believes (if that was teh case he would have
    apologised to John Tamahere and to New Zealanders), but because he
    embarassed the government. Weasel words again from the Nats.

    Mind reading now Rich. With the typical lack of comprehension that you
    show most of the time. Give up Rich you're a rubbish troll. To much of a snowflake to be any good at anything except shitting.

    Ngaro was incredibly naive in saying what he said. Some would say he
    was stupid. It seems very likely that he is in no doubt what his
    colleagues think of it.

    Where the Government uses external service providers it would be
    totally unacceptable to tie Government spending to suppression of
    political viewpoints critical of any political party. This episode is
    now mostly absent from media coverage to it is fairly safe to conclude
    that this has not actually happened.

    Ngaro was incredibly naive in saying what he said. Some would say he
    was stupid. It seems very likely that he is in no doubt what his
    colleagues think of it.
    Indeed - he has undoubtledly been told that such bulying must never be
    spoken of openly.

    Where the Government uses external service providers it would be
    totally unacceptable to tie Government spending to suppression of
    political viewpoints critical of any political party. This episode is
    now mostly absent from media coverage to it is fairly safe to conclude
    that this has not actually happened.

    It would be more than unacceptable - it would be illegal. BUt in
    eality provided they are careful the government knows that any claims
    will be very hard to prove. Of course if they do cut funding to Willie
    Jacksons interests there will be stories - but they would know how
    long to wait . . .

    This article has been compiled for clearly political purposes, but the independence of many of the cited articles should leave no-one in
    doubt that Ngaro was merely giving party policy - but a poilicy that
    was never meant to be openly spoken. https://thestandard.org.nz/nationals-long-history-of-intimidataion/


    And Ngaro is still getting news coverage: http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2017/05/lloyd-burr-alfred-ngaro-s-threat-to-willie-jackson-was-worse-than-just-a-brain-fart.html

    The reality is that we do need to be vigilant in ensuring that our

    Perhaps we should give due credit to Ngaro for being honest about his undersnading of standard government practice (as distinct from
    officially recognised policy) in relation to those recipients of
    giovernment funding who have different political views than National.
    There you are credit to National for two actions in two posts! May we
    be able to recognise them for complying with the law and being honest
    more often!

    As for proof of illegal actions (do you have a problem with the word
    proved?), deniability has been a feature of government for a few years
    now - at least seven by my reckoning - and of course I do not expect
    them to be caught on this - unless of course a junior MP says the
    wrong thing . . . All that will happen here is that if National do
    retain government later this year they will need to be very careful

    Perhaps we should give due credit to Ngaro for being honest about his >undersnading of standard government practice (as distinct from
    officially recognised policy) in relation to those recipients of
    giovernment funding who have different political views than National.
    There you are credit to National for two actions in two posts! May we
    be able to recognise them for complying with the law and being honest
    more often!

    As for proof of illegal actions (do you have a problem with the word >proved?), deniability has been a feature of government for a few years
    now - at least seven by my reckoning - and of course I do not expect
    them to be caught on this - unless of course a junior MP says the
    wrong thing . . . All that will happen here is that if National do
    retain government later this year they will need to be very careful
    about any reduction in government funding for Willie Jacksons
    organisations - after all perception can be nearly as effective as
    legal proof on some matters. Overall, that's Willie Jackson 1, Ngaro
    0.
    I have every problem with the missuse of the word "proved", oh I know it is common usage and I know that some of us were not given the opportunity to learn the best of the English language but there you have it!
    But the fact is without proof all you have is guesswork, conjecture and sarcasm!

    Funny how almost everything Labour has been whining about started while
    Labour was government Rich. Now if only you could get your head out of
    your arse and have a good look at Labours record 1999-2008 and were
    honest for a change you'd be singing a different tune about the union
    stooge and the commissars!

    Stop being stupid Rich. New Zealand's still well up in the rankings.
    Lying about it only proves our belief in your stupidity.

    talk about different opinions within.
    Jackson that scion of Maoridoms left is part of a committee running a successful school system that liebor refuses to accept.
    How many houses make one?

    At the moment I pity them headed by a screaming skull they are no more

    Ngaro has not attempted to deny that he meant what he said - he just apologised to the prime minister for unsing the wrong words. As your
    post demonstrates, there is general acceptance within National and its supporters that complying with the law is not necessary so long as
    there is plausible deniability. And if that fails to stop criticism,
    deflect, attack, deny and if all else fails just lie.

    I can and do worry about the most powerful nation in the world being led

    to imagine that it won't affect them, which is as much an example of
    ersatz isolationism as is Trump himself.

    The reality is that we do need to be vigilant in ensuring that our
    country deserves its reputation for lack of corruption - which
    regretably has dropped slightly in recent years . . . perhaps due to the >>> reality behind Ngaro's stupid admission of his perception that such

    . .

    You can't possibly know if those things are true. So I assume you're >>attempting to out-Trump Trump in deploying opinion, assumption and >>unsupported assertion as if they were fact.

    He has expressed a personal opinion (that is flat-out wrong) and in
    doing so embarrassed his colleagues for which he has apologised.

    As your
    post demonstrates, there is general acceptance within National and its >supporters that complying with the law is not necessary so long as

    If any of this were true, Rich, how come National enjoys such a high
    level of approval compared to every other political party, and has
    maintained that level of approval going into an election after
    'winning' the last 3?

    Every time you make such anti-National aspersions as you have above
    you highlight just how ineffective Labour is - that it languishes so
    far behind such a government dominated by a party of lawless liars and political tricksters as you would have us believe that National are?

    Are you serious? We should adjust our voting preferences on the
    strength of a transplanted Brit comedian's fulminations on American
    TV?

    You can't possibly know if those things are true. So I assume you're
    attempting to out-Trump Trump in deploying opinion, assumption and
    unsupported assertion as if they were fact.

    Ngaro has not attempted to deny that he meant what he said - he just
    apologised to the prime minister for unsing the wrong words. As your
    post demonstrates, there is general acceptance within National and its
    supporters that complying with the law is not necessary so long as there
    is plausible deniability. And if that fails to stop criticism, deflect,
    attack, deny and if all else fails just lie.

    My post demonstrates nothing of the sort. But yours demonstrates how distorted your little world really is. Just like Trump's.

    Richie's denial extends to his denial of practising the dirtiest of
    politics on behalf of one of the dirtiest and most undemocratic party's
    in the NZ parliament.
