| 501358 | 2006-12-01 00:18:00 | Getting back to the Brash saga, Barry Gustafson on Morning Report this morning doubted Brash's competency to ever be prime minister because of his "I don't recall" memory problems. I'm willing to give Brash the benefit of the doubt as regards honesty, but it is increasingly likely he may have some sort of medical problem affecting his memory and ability to recall, thus leading to questions of integrity. This isn't the first time, we had the saga of the "gone by lunch time", and his inability to recall. Quotes: "Dr (Lockwood) Smith explained the current study being done by the National Party. If the study came to the same conclusion as it did in 1992, then National would look seriously at the nuclear legislation. … It was here that Dr Brash made the throw-away comment 'If the National Party was in government today, we would get rid of the nuclear propulsion section today – by lunchtime, even." "On the Nine to Noon interview with Linda Clark on May 6, Dr Brash said consecutively: 'what I said to them (the delegation) precisely, I simply do not recall. It's more than four months ago',....." Said Goff: "Either he was not telling the truth to the delegation, or not telling the truth to the New Zealand public. New Zealanders have a right to know when a politician is speaking out of both sides of his mouth, and that appears to be deliberate deceit." Taken from here:www.scoop.co.nz I think we had a lucky escape when National did not get elected last election, who knows what international messes Brash would have got us into if he is unable to remember, to recall what he says, or what he reads. |

And yet you choose believe what this blackguard writes,seems a contradiction to me. Like I have said,there will be an element of truth in the book,a touch of embellishment and T is your aunty. |

Like I have said,there will be an element of truth in the book,a touch of embellishment and T is your aunty. Sorry to be blunt, but that is top of the head ill informed crap, you have not understood what I have said, I do not and never ever have "believed" things willy nilly as you appear to do. I am talking about documented evidence presented in a scholarly work, complete with extensive references. If you do not "believe" what Hager has written, then you are denying what he extensively quotes, verbatim, from National Party documentation, and from an amazing , indeed enormous quantity of emails. Indeed a considerable part of the book is verbatim quotes, so if you "disbelieve" then you are disbelieving what Brash and cohorts have said. This documentation is not made up. I will repeat that this book is a scholarly piece of research. If you don't "believe" me, go out and buy it, and read it. It will open your eyes. Edit: but then there are none so blind as cannot see. |
