Deep, deep trouble.
28 August 2008 – 1:07 pmThe chance for Peters to go back to the Parliament after the election is getting slimmer and slimmer. Owen Glenn gave conflicting evidences to Privileges Committee, and now it is revealed that Helen Clark knew that $100,000 donation right back before this whole saga happened.
So who lied?
I don't know really. The only thing I'm quite sure is, Mr Peters is now unfit for his foreign minister duty before he's either cleared or go doomed.
This came at a very interesting time. The emission trading scheme needs New Zealand First, and since Key has ruled out the possibility of any dealings with Peters after the election - in other words, Peters and Helen are now on the same boat.
The problem is, Helen's boat is sinking too. And since Peters has become a sort of "ballot poison", I have to say Mr Key has made a smart move by left Aunty Helen with the poison.

It's starting to remind me of the last time Winston First was part of a coalition government when the only thing that stopped the government imploding under the weight of its own massive incompetence was a conveniently timed election. I suspect that come November both Uncle Winston and Aunty Helen will be looking for new jobs (assuming they aren't facing criminal charges, of course). Pity they aren't in the job market now, my programme still lacks one full-time teacher...
