       Looks like Tom struck a nerve 😆

       I especially enjoyed the way Jumped-Up-Jordan was reduced to packing a Libertarian howly-bag this morning. Don’t worry little Jordy, your time in the colon will soon be over.

       Kiaora dumbrse,

       Could you elaborate on your remark please? What is your point exactly?

       [lprent: I’m sure that comment could be classed as bullying. You do realise that thinking pains him? 😈 ]

   A good thing Williams is on the end of the photo. They could save a bit of dough by just slicing him off.

   Now that scum like this has been exposed Williams will struggle to ever get a job in New Zealand again. Ha fucking hard you despicable creep.

   Jordan is the first of many heads who will roll over this. I am fairly certain the smoking gun linking Key to all of this will be revealed on 13 September By KDC which will give Key one week to resign and piss off for ever.

   Steven Joyce must be smiling right now. This almighty cluster fuck is playing directly into his factions arms. The civil war is in full swing and the gloves are off.

     Cam is busy looking at ‘opportunities’ for him offshore no doubt.
     Something will turn up no doubt.

     The thing that amuses me most about all these masters of the Universe (that’s aside from their egos, mysogeny and arrogance) is their ability (as grubby little woks) to call kettles black.

     And as and IF they want to continue to draw in the seedy (involving prostitutes and others experiencing their ‘pleasure’ – i.e. as they see it), they really should get out a bit more and indulge in the wider cohort of the profession. They seem to have limited themselves to merely those that have benefited.

   I think we need a high profile expose on this creep – highlighting his statement that the “tax payers Union” is “non partisan” and his true utterances.

   Shine a light on these nasty people I say and let people amke up their own minds just what sort of creep he is.

   I know Cathy Odgers is loving the attention – all her work colleagues in her Hong Kong law firm have received links via email of her actions as reported in the NZ media , just in case they missed it or she hadn’t mentioned it.

   Next on the list should be Williams – perhaps we lobby all people who give a mouth piece to the vile piece of work, like RNZ, really should he really be on Jim Mora’s panel?

       @chris-this morning Hooton said Cunliffe will be PM in September. Listen here.

         Hooton also said that Shearer needed to be Labour leader, despite him only being in the party a year or two beforehand.

         My guess is Hooton is either trying to a) stem the torrent of former national voters considering voting for NZ1st or the Conservatives; or b) increase his returns on iPredict.

         Probably a little of both.

    RNZ and TVNZ also have some serious questions not to be asked!

    It may have been some time last week, or the week before, where Jordan Williams was once again on Jim Mora’s panel on RNZ National.

    There he stated that he had given up his career as lawyer, and was going to commit himself full-time to his “NZ Taxpayer Union”, in which David Farrar is also heavily involved.

    So perhaps with election time nearing, JW realised he better put in all efforts to promote ACT and National friendly ideas and policy, through that Taxpayers Union.

    It is worrying indeed, how Radio NZ and other media take this man so serious, and give him airtime to give “advice” on tax and other matters.

        No, that is the wrong one. Actually, I made a mistake, thinking it was only a week or two ago, when I heard Jordan Williams explain his stepping down from being a lawyer, being on the panel with Jim Mora and then also Jane Clifton. It was the program that was broadcast already on 11 July 2014!

        Time flies, indeed, and I got my facts mixed up.

        But listen to the following audio recording, from about 2 min. and 40 seconds onwards, and you will hear Williams explain to Jim Mora and the listeners what he is doing now, and why he decided to no longer work as a lawyer, and now apparently only as an associate for that legal firm:

          I just found it quite curious that we have a cached image the day before release of “Dirty Politics” that showed him still there as a “consultant”. That is in line with what he said at the start of july.

          Sometime in the next 5 days, google searches for Jordan Williams name go to a page where he does not appear. It must have been done in a hurry because his face still contaminates the page header, but the text is gone.

    Hmm, this is rather interesting I must say. Given that Stephen Franks of ‘Franks and Ogilvy’ is an ex-ACT list MP (1999-2005) I’d say this looks more like simple damage control by distancing themselves from Williams. No doubt he’ll pop up again like a bad smell after the election. Perhaps you could revisit the Franks and Ogilvy website on Sept 22 Lprent? :p)

    Now that the boil of dirty politics from the top floor of the beehive has been publicly exposed in an undeniable fashion (and not a left-wing conspiracy fantasy, John) we can expect the rest of the election campaign to be cleaner, surely. A lancing of the boil must surely follow.

    The Herald’s headline this morning that “the race will get grubbier” is right-wing spin after the past grubbiness of the PM’s slimy mates has been exposed. Wouldn’t the headline be more correct if it said “it can’t get grubbier than this” ? The Herald could start backing a healthier party as likely winners of the next election. It might change the paper’s attitude towards the mess generated by the 9th floor team in the beehive.

    ‘

    Interesting comments by Jordan Williams on National Radio’s “The Panel” just hours before Nicky Hager’s book “Dirty Politics” was released. Williams leads off with what has become National Ltd™’s actual response; personal attacks and injecting a narrative concerning “privacy breaches” and “stolen emails” not saying what they actually say. I’ve tweaked it a little bit but Williams goes on to comment . . .

    . . . if [“Dirty Politics”] is just another political book based on stolen emails then, I’d argue, it doesn’t do the same public service […] the emails in the “Hollow Men” book were, many of them were taken out of context, it framed what a very normal political operation that a political leader wouldn’t ask their staff about, their presentation, their self-marketing, well, I mean that’s normal in any major political party and I think it [“The Hollow Men”] was a very effectively spun book but there wasn’t really much substance or concern in it.

    . . . how very prescient for such a dipstick. Unless, of course, Slater and crew were shitting their pants suspecting what was coming and had prepared tactics just in case. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Jordan Williams made his name by unsuccessfully leading the campaign to ditch MMP. He correctly predicted that the National led government would not make the improvements that the public and the Electoral Commission wanted. Do you think he knew ahead of time about the intentions of the government? After all the referendum was staged in the hope that the public would vote it out, right?

    Not sure about Jordan Williams and the panel. Jim Mora asked Jordan what he thought the Nicky Hager book would be about on the day of the launch. Jordan said he thought it might be about spying or something … not involving himself of course
