NEW ZEALAND NEWS MEDIA
ON THE FRONT PAGES...Someone leaked to the media that Don Brash -National Party leader- was in bed -literally- with a female member of the business round table. He neither confirmed nor denied the extramarital affair claims, but did take some time off to work on ‘marital problems’ with his wife. The media jumped all over him.
Then, rumors began to spread, spearheaded by investigate Magazine editor and right wing Act Party flunky Ian Wishart, that Helen Clarks husband, Peter Davis, is a homosexual. (Pictures of him embracing a long time friend were printed in Wishart’s mag).
It also turns out that the exclusive brethren had hired an investigator to follow and uncover dirt on the Prime Minister and her husband.
The Exclusive Brethren are certainly not new to political foray. They attempted a smear campaign against the Green Party during the last election. Flyers by an ‘anonymous source’ were posted to thousands of people which attacked the Green Party and the Labour Party. This was also done by the exculsive bretheran in Australia.
