If you thought National couldn't be more corrupt....
Think again.
I'm loving my headline blog of just four days ago being about the corrupt government we have, and along comes the Right Honorable [sic] Member of Parliament for Pakuranga.
Maurice Williamson now joins Key, Collins and christ knows how many others in helping New Zealand overcome its appalling statistic as the world's least-corrupt country.
Welcome to New Zealand, where relationships with the National Party will:
Keep you out of jail: Doug Graham. (and allow you to keep your knighthood!)
Allow you a free pass for immigration: Maurice Williamson.
Act as an enabler for your husband's company: Judith Collins. (more on that today)
Get you a cushy, top-level government job: John Key.
Get you help with police matters: Maurice Williamson.
Help you avoid losing personal assets while tradesmen lose millions: Jenny Shipley.
Allow cops to break every rule in law: John Key.
The "legal highs" industry whose lawyer is the son of the minister who approved the products for sale: Peter Dunne.
And they are just a few of the cases we know about. Just think about this for a second:
How many more dirty dealings have we not had exposed?
