Protecting his woman.

lprent over at the standard has done a great piece on... something. Perhaps it is partisan attack stuff or perhaps it is a commentary on what is important in life when you just turned 50.

Gross hypricisy at the standard.

I suspect battle lines will be drawn between lprent and Eddie (worse & worse) at the standard.

Eddie starts to fume about Key's so called 'acceptance of Worth's version of events. Eddie must be a bit slow to remember another version of a similar theme.

I think lprent justifies John Keys so called tardy disclosure in this comment;

burt: You are just being silly. Looked at the statement and nothing changes.

She asked Peters if it was true, and he said no. You take the word of ministers.

Tell me, do you expect PM’s to have a touch of the divine and to be able to see inside peoples heads?

Reading what lpren's comment was in response to gives it context. Non disclosure over a period of months and months compared to a few weeks.

Take the ministers word and do nothing was acceptable for Labour eh, but not National. lprent will be spitting tacks at Eddie for being such a hypocrite.

Something to be proud of?

Hat-tip: No right Turn.

New Zealand has topped the Global Peace Index, making us statistically the most peaceful country in the world. That's quite an achievement, and Labour can take credit because it spent almost a decade slashing defense force budgets and under investing in military capability and hardware.
