Resignationwatch: too many questions

Why did Banks declare as anonymous $15K that SkyCity openly gave to him, when Brown declared his donation?

Why did Banks claim he couldn’t remember flying to the Dotcom mansion in Dotcom’s chopper when no sane person thinks that is something you would forget?

Did Banks ask Dotcom to split his $50K donation into two – why?

Did Banks ring Dotcom’s bodyguard to thank him for the donations?

Why did Banks lie about getting a discount at the hotel where Dotcom was staying, then say he bargained it himself?

Who provided $15K of radio ad donations to his campaign, and were the ads authorised?

What did Nats Scott Simpson and Michelle Boag on Banks’ ‘mentor group’ know about the anonymised donations?

Who gave the Herald the internal document about the Nats on the mentor group? – interesting to see Boag’s name again.

Was Chris Simmons lying when he said Banks asked Dotcom to split the donation into two $25K cheques so they would be the same size as his donation, or when he tried to retract those comments?

Who donated the three other anonymous $25K donations to Banks’ campaign – was one of them the $25K Simmons said Banks would donate?

How much extra info did Banks get from mate Maurice Williamson on Dotcom’s OIO application?

Why has Key still not spoken to Banks to ask any of these question?

Doesn’t he want to know the answers?

Is Key really saying ethical lapses prior to being a minister are irrelevant to ones fitness for the role?

What about ethical lapses after becoming a minister – like lying to the media?

How many New Zealanders did 10-year-old Noora Azmutally speak for yesterday when, after meeting Key, she said “I was expecting him to be a bit more serious”

Is National polling in Epsom?

Who are the Nats lining up – will Isaac stand for ACT?

Will ACT on Campus (all 3 of them) really split with Banks if he votes for a higher drinking age?

Isn’t it in ACT’s best interest, now that he is clearly un-reelectable, to get Banks out quick smart and get someone else in?

Are they just waiting until after Budget day, so the Right holds its 1 vote majority in the House?

What’s the bet they try to slam the asset sales law through before the Budget, and set up 3 months of uncontroversial bills for the by-election period – and what’s the bet the legislative agenda becomes a clusterfuck, since sausage finger Brownlee’s in charge of managing it?
