KEY STAYS STAUNCH - NO WINSTON

There was a TV3 poll tonight with 67% of those polled saying they agreed to Keys stand to say no to Winston being part of his government.

And he has reiterated his position yet again in the NBR today.

Thats what we need, a politician with a backbone integrity and principles. Not one who has no integrity and makes decisions based on a thirst for power aka Helen Clark.

And Key's decision looks even better in light of the Email revelations re Owen Glenn on TVNZ tonight. Its good to see that all media are hot on this issue with the story appearing all over the place. It shows the one thing we have all ( in blogland) been saying for a long time - Winston is corrupt and he is a liar.

BB just watched the tail end of an interview with Winston Peters and Oliver Driver on ALT TV.

He reckons there is an issue that will dent Key's integrity that is still to see the light of day.

It is going to be a dirty campaign

ITS ABOUT TRUST HELEN ..

Stuff has a great report on the Te Aro Wellington candidates meeting





the Story is here and includes this gem
In a meeting meant to entertain as much as anything else, Mr Appleby was a crowd-pleaser, noting Prime Minister Helen Clark's emphasis on trust.
"You can't even trust her photograph. I don't want a 19-year- old running this country," he said, referring to her airbrushed billboard image.

Heres what voters really get when they vote clark

SFO - MAKING SURE JUSTICE IS DONE

Now remember when Winston got all pusy over the SFO rocking up to the Privileges Committee with some interesting evidence..

The Herald has the story on what the evidence was - Another $40k in donations that Winnie " forgot" to tell everyone about

Peters owns up to gift of $40,000
Oct 03, 2008By Patrick

Winston Peters has owned up to a cash donation - but only after his
hand was forced by the Serious Fraud Office.
A $40,000 gift from the Spencer
Trust was Mr Peters' one amendment to the Register of MPs' Pecuniary Interests
when it was released yesterday.
This was the donation the SFO uncovered and
handed over to Parliament's privileges committee last month.
It covered the
$40,000 court costs Mr Peters was ordered to pay after his unsuccessful election
petition against National's Bob Clarkson in 2005.
The SFO's evidence
contradicted the explanation Mr Peters and his lawyer Brian Henry gave to the
committee about how the $40,000 debt was paid.
Mr Henry at first told the
committee he paid the costs. Mr Peters told it he believed he paid.
Mr Henry
then clarified in writing that he paid but Mr Peters reimbursed him shortly
afterwards and Mr Peters backed up this version in a speech to Upper Hutt Grey
Power.
But Mr Peters' amendment yesterday read: "Cash donation towards
Tauranga electoral petition costs - Spencer Trust."

So isn't it time that the PM said sorry to the SFO - She should every confidence that they are doing a stirling job in rooting out corruption in our country that she and others would like to be believe is corruption free

clark given message - dont do a deal with a corrupt politician and spencer trust told to back off by SFO. .

TVNZ had the good news of today - in a poll 58% says clark is too soft. and 63% say that clark should do the same and key and rule him out of any coalition.

And Guyon Espiner reported that the Spencer Trust approached the SFO and said they weren't guilty of anything and that the SFO should wind up the Winston inquiry.. The SFO politely told them to bugger off - they would complete the inquiry in their own time.. Good Job.
