Neil: Susan St John is an economist. She's taught economics at all levels at Auckland University's School of Economics for years. She is not a 'failed academic'. Roger Douglas failed first year micro-economics when he attended Auckland University. You ...
Del Griffith 'would [I] be cool with someone hacking into Bomber Bradburys emails and Facebook and publishing them?' Yes. If publication revealed something to us that was in the public interest to know, absolutely. I can't believe that you're even asking ...
Thanks for moderating
Chooky, Yes, very likely. Possibly also reflects anxiety about CGT which lots of people recognise as being good in the long term, but which would also possibly have reduced the value of many people's houses. It's a huge structural shift and more thought ...
Mark If you don't vote - you don't count. It's as simple as that. Now fuck off.

Has anyone confirmed with him that he sent it to the Herald?
Agree with you R0b KDC may be extradited, but what if he isn't? He isn't going to be able to go many places We have to accept that he may be a part of the political landscape for a long time to come. I was impressed with Annette Sykes' response to KDC's ...

Yes, definitely. Interesting how Mana changed KDC.
No. The true scandal is that the New Zealand Companies Office has been used by international organised crime to launder billions and billions of dollars. If you want to know where the Hanover money disappeared to, that's an obvious place to start looking. ...
The difference between Slater and Mickley Savage & Bradbury? Judith Collins Slater & Odgers Mark Hotchin ; The Russian Mafia; money laundering for organised crime Now stop being so naive
lprent Thanks for moderating.
Because when people like Fran O'Sullivan are writing like this: http://m.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11330165 then it could all be down hill from here. She is really pissed off

Have a look at Richard Smith's other articles on the same site, they all seem well referenced. For example, Google 'Jeeves Group' (Odgers' former employers) and 'fraud', or 'Jeeves Flader Odgers smh' and so on. And yes, there does seem to be a lot of ...
@ Mark Wilson Wrong. Slater's getting hammered because he and Odgers link Key and his government with international organised crime on a massive scale. Best case: Odgers is a monumentally oblivious idiot, with an astonishing knack for working with, or for,...
'So, worst case: Odgers is a crook, directly involved in Russian mafia moneylaundering, a $1Billion US Ponzi scheme, and the largest pension fraud in Australian history. If that’s how it is, then Key, via Whale Oil, looks a little too close to her. Best ...
To the contrary - Odgers is deeply involved. She has a lot of questions to answer about the nature of her job as a 'tax' lawyer in Hong Kong Skip half way down here: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/08/new-zealand-prime-minister-john-key-the-whale-oil-...
We need to talk about Cathy: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/08/new-zealand-prime-minister-john-key-the-whale-oil-blog-and-international-organized-crime.html http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/09/new-zealand-crooks-buddies-whaleoil-bounced-chief-...
The email that prompted Collins to resign didn't come from Hager or Rawshark. It came from Cathy Odgers.
This denial from Collins is troubling.
Hooton is very offended by the use of the SIS to score political points against the Leader of the Opposition. He puts it down to Key's careless management. Its the sort of issue that makes political insiders' blood run cold and I got the impression that ...
No. Cameron Slater has not done anyone any favours. He has been a disaster. Nicky Hager, he certainly did us a favour; same goes for his source, the Rawshark. You know who else? People like you, R0b, and karol and lprent who have actively moderated, ...
Richard Smith's article in Naked Capitalism is mind blowing. Skip the first third and go straight to what he says about Cathy Odgers' involvement with Russian money laundering. The Herald should have looked into this instead of giving her space to attack ...
Thanks for this - it is very cool, indeed.
Weird that no-one seems to be questioning the value. ISIS takes over West Iraq and threatens to invade Baghdad - We know it's all news to the Inteligence community (who seem to be getting their information like the rest of us, from Facebook and twitter) ...
Jrobin Agree with you you. Thanks for reminding me.

Repateet You're absolutely right there. Key and the Herald are not embarrassed. The Herald can't be embarrassed because it had no self respect to start off with.
The Herald lost me in 2007 when they printed the appalling 'Keep fatties and smokers out . . . ' headline as a response to the death of Samoan mother Folole Muliaga, who died after her power was cut off and she could not use her breathing machine.
