No Glasnost in Helengrad
Just four weeks after legislating their way out the Public Finance Act scot-free, they’re at it again.
Legal advice given to Radio New Zealand (Newswire, via Not PC) indicates that the government may have breached the Public Finance Act when giving Fletcher Construction the contract to build the concrete platform for the Auckland waterfront stadium.
Government procurement rules require that contracts go to tender when they have a value of more than $50,000. The platform deal is worth a hundred million dollars. Luckily there’s no need for openness because Trev knows best.
We didn’t overthrow these contemptible bastards when they misappropriated a million dollars. What are we going to do when there’s a billion on the table?
I hope a few Labour supporters own Fletchers shares. They could use their windfall to pay Labour’s outstanding election debts.

It seems that the election theft wasn’t enough for them. But then there is never enough for such people. The rising taxes and government surplus proves this.
