It’s a good question.

In recent weeks, we have witnessed one of the most systematic and dirtiest smear campaigns in the history of New Zealand politics. And many media outlets and their journalists have been either wittingly or unwittingly complicit. The near hysteria with which some journalists and right-wing blog sites have written about these allegations and back-slapped each other is almost laughable. The fact remains that nothing outside the laws has occurred involving New Zealand First.

They are clearly worried about the role New Zealand First will play after the election. How else to explain the recent systematic campaign of hysterical allegations against myself and the party?

Released on the 25th of July, yet most of the media are still managing to get it wrong.

Below is a transcript of my speech given in the general debate on Wednesday 30th July (you can watch the video here). Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy world just like the one the media are trying to drag the public of New Zealand into.  It’s dark down there, a place where only media and their imaginations venture!
