In fact, it wasn’t a hack, it was stupidity and lackadaisical oversight from Treasury. A scathing report into the accidental release of sensitive Budget 2019 information by the

A key member of the U.S. Media Party, The New York Times, is being sued by the Trump campaign over their fake news Russia collusion scam. It was only a matter of time before some push back occurred over their clear and deliberate pushing of fake news. Breitbart reports:
Simon Bridges made a big song and dance about reciprocity for how New Zealand deals with Aussie criminals in New Zealand. He said loud and long that we should be sending them home like the Aussies do to Kiwi criminals. When asked about the one obvious case, that of loopy,
Last week Simon Bridges put his big boy’s undies on and went large on what he has admitted privately he was only 70% sure of: that a deal on Ihumatao was going to be sorted this week. The poor bastard didn’t realise he was being set up for
The Media Party Radio New Zealand branch has run another something-nothing hit job by the pro tempore leader Guyon Espiner. This time it is against Talley’s and NZ First. One of the country’s biggest fishing companies, Talley’s, and its managing director donated nearly $27,000 to the
Li’l Simon Bridges is a bit huffy and seemly overly sensitive about National’s Chinese donor problem. He was on Magic Talk with Peter Williams yesterday morning, busily defaming this site and accusing The BFD of running a conspiracy theory about his involvement in the dodgy donations: Simon Bridges
Murray McCully’s and Michelle Boag’s fake green party Sustainable NZ is dead on arrival. It may well take Simon Bridges with them because despite his denials he has been involved in setting up the project so as to decapitate the actual Green party. Last week saw ructions from
James Shaw, Grant Robertson and Andrew Little are three prime examples of the perils government ministers risk when announcing potential legislation as though it is a done deal, without first at least making a reasonable effort at consulting with this government’s handbrake, NZ First.

Andrew Geddis discussed National party dirty donations scandal on Radio NZ: An electoral law expert says the National Party can’t entirely wash its hand of the fraud charges laid against Jami-Lee Ross. Ross used to be a National Party MP but is now independent. He’s named as one
Now that the people charged have been named after name suppression was withdrawn it is the worst of possible outcomes for National. Now we can see the tip of a rather large mountain of dung that is threatening to topple over and bury the Simon Bridges-led National party. They can
Now that name suppression has been lifted we can reveal the full extent of National’s donor problem. Here are social media photographs of key National party figures who are chummy with those charged for the National party donations, which still rest in National’s accounts. Let’s start right
Simon Bridges is doing a Sergeant Schultz as questions are being asked about National dodgy donations from Chinese Communist Party sympathizers: National Party leader Simon Bridges says it came as a surprise to him that a Serious Fraud Office prosecution relates to two $100,000 donations to the party.
