   Its curious in this time of general hardship, he wanted to remind us of the BMW saga…and then try and convince us that the new BMW fleet somehow didn’t cost the country a thing!

   Whoever coached him on this was terrible.

     This is the dreaded Job Interview “describe one of your weaknesses” question. Seems Key simply wasn’t expecting it.

   A BMW would have the only hot seat he’d want to be seated in.

   This tweet reported on Pagani’s stuff blog sums it up:

   “I wish my biggest mistake was getting a great deal on a fleet of BMWs and struggling to explain how awesome the deal was”.

   Cracks starting to show? Over the idea of being PM? He has a lack lustre attitude.

   That’d be the Beemers he had nooo knowledge whatsoever about……epic fail in terms of reaching out to ordinary kiwis so at least it’s an accurate picture.

   Given that Key has been in parliament for only 9 years., and Goff for 30, of course Goff is going to be able to recall his biggest mistakes more easily, since he’s (a) made more, and (b) made bigger ones

     He’s made enough: “sloppy share management”, (and how overtly corrupt is the seeing eye trust?) the backdown over Sched.4 land, lying on camera over Tranzrail shares, defaming Standard and Poors, explaining that you weren’t at the meeting, getting the message wrong over beamers, a double downgrade, trying to change a Supreme Court decision on surveillance, mangling the English language at every turn, that ridiculous comb-over, the total lack of economic policy (remember how the fire-at-will anti-New Zealander treachery was going to create jobs?) etc. etc.

     And out of that shameful incompetent clusterfuck all he can manage is the beamers.

       Yup One, he may have made a few (and some of the stuff you mention is just plain being nasty). But then Goff, who on the leaders debate said that Labour have never mined conservation land, quietly omitted to mention Pike River. You might remember that mine, a bunch of people were killed there. I didnt hear him say agreeing to the long access tunnel was his worst mistake, since it certainly had an impact on the deaths of the 29.
       Now that’s a doosey.

         Bullshit.

         Conservation land has always been mined previously.

         But not Schedule 4 land.

         Your recollection is piss poor.

           My bad Colonial, I should have put “National Park” which I believe was the term used. Slip of the typing fingers….

         Goff has never held the economic development minister’s position, so remind me under what role he would have agreed to the tunnel in the first place…oh, that’s right, you were just being dinnimic.

           And of course as a Cabinet Minister at the time, he’d have had no input or knowledge….. oh, thats right, you were just being dim.

           I would point out that you don’t give Key the same latitude around a blind trust…. oh thats right, you were just being a hypocrite.

             IVV, the blind trust isn’t blind. And no, I’m not sure what input anyone but the mining engineers would have had to the design of the mine – cabinet would necessarily be going on the word of the available expertise, rather than micromanaging the project. Perhaps you think they should have specified what grade of steel to use too.
             Edit: But in any case you’re missing the point – for all we know Goff may have balanced the deaths of the 29 miners against the long-term structural damage to NZ society, and decided that the third world diseases and increasing child mortality that privatisation brings were a bigger mistake.
