BOMB A FIZZER ?

Good - Roy is gone in a clinical display of leadership by Hide. However we tend to agree with John Armstrong. The voters and supporters have a right to know why. Hide should - well, hide nothing.

He needs to be transparent about the reasons for dismembering the party.

And if indeed there was a neutron bomb - one would have expected it to explode by now. Hides refusal to reveal what Roy was sacked for will just continue to fuel speculation that what she did was serious. And the fact that ACT no longer has the Assoc Defence portfolio in itself speaks volumes.. One can only speculate about a lack of trust on the part of National that it has taken the portfolio back inhouse.

We will watch the events of the next few days with a great deal of interest..

IS IT ALL OVER ?????

On Saturday the All Blacks play the Bledisloe in Hong Kong, The Melbourne cup is on Tuesday and the American election is on Wednesday - there isn't time or room in the media landscape for any big hits to be made prior to the Election that will resonate with voters.
The only thing is the scandal around Labours neutron fizzer is expected to keep growing as journalists keep digging, so expect that to erode Labours support.

HELEN CAUGHT OUT - WILLIAMS IN THE GUN

Williams should be very afraid - Helen Clark is starting the heap the shit, from the neutron fizzer onto him to deflect the blame. '

No so quickly Helen - you are in charge - the bomb rests with you.

We also want to know who paid for Eugene Bingham to go to Melbourne to look at the documents?

The Herald has the story here

KIWIBLOG LIFTS LID ON LABOUR DIRTY TRICKS

Kiwiblog takes a good look at the trail of the H-Fee Smear and surprise surprise - it leads back to the Labour party research unit. Silly wee boys...

Batman is buggered.

HEADLESS CHOOKS SEEN IN THORNDON - PM SAFE

A leading journalist has just phoned BB - it appears that Labour are not available for comment anywhere. All phones are off.

We wonder why. -

STORY LEADS FOR JOURNOS

Kiwiblog has made it easy for the journos today - he has 12 good questions that need answers.

We agree.

HOOTON GETS COCKY - IS HE BACK ON LSD?

Hooton - the former stoner , thinks that Labours fucked. We hope he is right.

And its all the fault of Mike Williams and the Standard the lefties blog.

We reckon that Williams will have resigned by lunch time.

BOMB GOES PFFT.

Bloody hell, Labour is definitely buggered now - the neutron bomb isn't even a fizzer.

They must feel like a terrorist whose bomb doesn't go off and they end up in prison for giving it a go.
In Labours case they end up on the opposition benches for three years.

It was a desperate play and desperately played. They media see it as such as so will the public of NZ.


Stuff sees it for what it was

As does NZHerald and the cynicism of presenters on TVNZ and TV3 is delicious to watch.


Its a cluster fuck for Labour and its all Mike Williams fault. He's a serious sleaze bag. Him and Winston are good for each other.

And Whale oil has a very interesting turn of developments but be warned it means you will have t0 -the standard that wanky little lefty blog.

NEUTRON BOMB HAS DUST ON IT

Clark and Key are head to head on TVNZ tonight -

There is talk of Clark dropping the neutron bomb by both Hooton and Queen Bee. We dont think that the urban legend that alleges Bill and Mary English were involved in leaking the Brash emails is the neutron bomb. Its a dumb fiction and it would be very dumb of the PM to raise it.
