Whale oil and Kiwiblog have been cooking up this billboard for a while. It went up in Tauranga today - and with Winston back in the headlines for being a lying corrupt creep - the timing could not have been better.
BustedBlonde's racing source , the Strapper, says that Paul Moroney has come under intense pressure since he signed an affidavit about what was said between Owen Glenn and Winston Peters. Word is he has had is tyres slashed and some have launched a smear campaign claiming Moroney is bankrupt and that he will never be able to sell another horse in NZ.
Bunch of bastards....
I feel like getting a syndicate together to buy a horse - call it either the VRWC or the Growler and giving it to Paul to train.
Bustedblonde is curious who else was at that table in Karaka ..
Audrey Young from the Herald has a good interview with Paul Moroney the trainer who heard Winstons exchange with Owen Glenn...
It would be interesting to find out when his sister and MP Sue Moroney shared what she knew with the PM.
Mr Moroney said when the story broke and he saw Mr Peters' continued denials he realised he had crucial knowledge. "I said to people: 'I am staggered by what's happening here'." He then made a "personal decision" to tell Mr Glenn what he knew knowing he was coming to New Zealand to appear before Parliament's privileges committee - but never spoke to him directly, dealing only briefly with an assistant. Mr Moroney swore an affidavit of his recollections of Mr Peters thanking Mr Glenn as they sat together at the Karaka yearly sales in 2006. Mr Glenn provided it to the committee as corroborating evidence on Tuesday. Mr Moroney said he expected a backlash from the racing community as Mr Peters was a popular minister. "This is not about the racing industry. This is about the truth. And I cannot walk away from the truth."
