National - FFS!

[Joshuatree]

A very detailed calm , creditable and thorough hour of answering all questions with names ( the $100,000 chinese donor for 1) , explanations and details. No evasiness at all.A bombshell .
Richard harman has been discredited as inaccurate and being fed national party smear/spin which will be full flowing; by jamie lee r in the interview.

And a few minutes ago you said not to prejudge. Too funny !!

[Joshuatree]

Very short fuse reactive and misreading with a hair trigger as usual. Have you listened to the complete interview , can you actually focus that long?. Im not prejudging, those are jamie lees words, not mine. There is a lot of info and detail there which needs to be honestly answered.

[iceman]

These are your words "Richard harman has been discredited as inaccurate " not Jamie's and show you've prejudged by believing everything the mentally disturbed JLR says. Quite incredible how you seem completely unable to debate on this forum without personal abuse against everyone that disagrees with you. Don't care when you do it against me but find it annoying and pathetic when you regularly do it to others. Grow up a little !

Unfortunately one brings it on one self , going off half cocked like that.

Bridges interview very unconvincing.Unlike jamie lee ross he repeated the same line over and over and refused to answer reporters questions.

Bridges is a gonner…… mud sticks.

Maybe …..maybe not.

None at all. This is what caused his mental breakdown according to him, accusations but no details, no chance of defending himself; to get rid of him he said. He also said they said they can make it 15 women if they want to. All will be revealed hopefully about who is right and who isn't.

"I was pushed out on medical leave and I have now recovered" - theres inconsistencies in that one statement. The rest of them are certainly career limiting. Any chance of him retaining Botany are nil. Sure hes lucid - but how much says is true remains to be seen.

Edit. OK I've watched most of JLR's press conference. Quite clearly he has it in for Bridges. Much of what he says about Bridges poll ratings isnt news - National is no doubt managing that. JLR going rogue says more about him than Bridges or NAtional on that point.

JLR also keeps saying Bridges has committed electoral fraud (out of the safety of Parliamentary Privilege as well). JLR ought to know that its fair enough to accuse bridges of fraud, but he cant say he has committed fraud. That's an offence and the verdict is decided by a judge on evidence presented. Not on JLR's opinion. JLR might want to spend a little less time swatting up on electoral fraud and start reading up on defamation law.

Remember - this is JLR's version of events. Also worth noting that Bridges is an ex Crown Prosecutor. He is going to have a bit of an understanding of natural justice, evidence and likely outcome of a verdict when the light is shone on that evidence. I think it highly unlikely Bridges would have acted in the way alleged - especially in light of the Clare Curran, Mika Waiteri and Brett Kavanaugh meltdowns that were occurring around the same time. And given Paul Bennet was somehow involved as well - she also has a reasonably clear head on her.
