I said on TV3 this morning, that there is a reasonable chance (not a probability, but a significant possibility) that Helen Clark may call an early election. Why? Just one reason, really. The thought of Owen Glenn testifying to the Privileges Committee. This is the stuff of nightmares for Helen and her Foreign Minister. If she goes early, she [...]

I have managed to obtain from a helpful staffer the full collection of quotes from Helen Clark and Michael Cullen on debt. Now remember they have been saying that going from gross debt being 20% of GDP to 22% of GDP is absolute lunacy and madness. So how does this measure up with their past [...]

The Winston question was a fizzer - his so called dirt on National was all old stuff. The questions on borrowing for infrastructure has been wonderful. Someone in National Research deserves a keg of beer for digging up quotes from Helen Clark in 1994 and 1999 advocating increased borrowing. The 1994 quote was priceless as debt as [...]
