I ask because The Whale’s spies have been furi­ously send­ing doc­u­ments to the tipline today about a scan­dal that could only be described as “Free flights for ETS votes”

Nick Smith has been roundly con­demned by Fran O’Sullivan and even by his friend Rod Oram over the week­end for his mad and point­less rush to ram through his ETS under urgency this week. This is now espe­cially crazy inlight of the emerg­ing scan­dal amongst the sci­en­tists who have col­luded to lie to the world about Global Warming.

To do that, as Fran and Oram note, he needs the Maori Party.

There have been leaks all week about $100 bil­lion woman Sacha McMeek­ing want­ing a cool $2 bil­lion of car­bon cred­its for her iwi in exchange for telling the Maori Party they must sup­port Mad Nick, but Whaleoil’s spies close to the nego­ti­a­tions between National and Maori say it is even more venal than that.

Last week, McMeeking’s Iwi Lead­er­ship Group sug­gested that it and kau­matua should hence­forth accom­pany Cli­mate Change Nego­ti­a­tions Min­is­ter Tim Groser on all his over­seas trips, start­ing with the big Copen­hagen con­fer­ence next month.

The deal was “pay for our air­fares and hotel rooms, and for our grand­dads, and we’ll tell our client party, the Maori Party, to give its votes to you.” Whaleoil’s spies in the nego­ti­a­tion room say it was a bot­tom line.

And whad­dya think Nick Smith said?

“Get fucked.  We’ve had Hone in Paris already this year and we cam­paigned against Labour send­ing kau­matua all around the world to pick up heads as so forth”????

No!

He wrote back essen­tially say­ing “no prob, bro”.

In his for­mal response to the McMeek­ing group, dated Thurs­day, he said: “I would wel­come the assis­tance of ILG del­e­gates – and kau­matua – at Copen­hagen and sub­se­quent meetings.”

Prob­lem is, Smith’s not even going to Copen­hagen.  It’s Groser who’ll have to look after the elderly kapa haka group.

Copen­hagen is a dead duck. Firstly it was winged by the fail­ure of politi­cians to get any con­sen­sus before hand and sec­ondly it was shot dead by the leaks of 1000’s of emails show­ing that the main sci­en­tists behind the major­ity of data sup­port­ing the lie that is Cli­mate Change and Global Warm­ing have lied and been lying to us for decades.

If were not bad enough that the Maori Party has pros­ti­tuted itself in the inter­ests of a select few of the elite maori­toc­racy but they also wanted to indulge in a bit of state funded trough­ing as well. As a mate of mine says, they wanted to “live it up on the large”.

If the con­tents of the doc­u­ments received via the tipline are real then Nick Smith must resign. I will pub­lish those doc­u­ments tomor­row morning.

In addi­tion there is sim­ply no need to rush this leg­is­la­tion, no need for it in the first place and real cause to stop and have a “cup of tea” to review the fall out from the destruc­tion of the rep­u­ta­tion of the lead­ing sci­en­tists sup­port­ing Global Warming.
