If anyone ought to be able to keep a secret it’s someone in the Government Communications Security Bureau.
If anyone ought to be able to keep quiet about something learned from the GCSB it’s someone who aspires to be Prime Minister.
Which is worse, that someone in the GCSB is playing politics, that the Leader of the Opposition has “sources inside the GCSB” or that he goes public on what he’s learned and then isn’t able to verify it?
Whaleoil has the details and reckons it’s time for an inquiry.
He’s right.
When the GCSB starts leaking they also need to call in the forensic plumbers.
Update:
Agree.
Interesting comment from No Minister
“Labour press secretary involved in public service leaks”
“So, let’s get this straight: Fran Mold’s partner works for GCSB and has been leaking information to Labour on the Kim Dotcom saga, including possible tape recordings of the Prime Minister.
Where does one start with how bad this is?
Who will be the first to lose their job?
What will Shearer do about it? After all, he is the one who is condemning Key for showing lack of leadership. It’s time for him to show some and sack Mold and in the reshuffle remove Robertson to the cheap seats.”
The plot, who did what when—thickens
- I just read that too and a commenter says Barry Soper confirmed the relationship: http://nominister.blogspot.co.nz/2012/10/labour-press-secretary-involved-in.html
will Shearer be happy to appear on Campbell live to expalin this interesting piece of info .. can’t wait
Whaleoil is onto this, again, with a transcript of Shearer and Rodney Hide on radio. Shearers problem is that he cannot backup his accusation- or is not prepared to. Typical NZ politics across all parties – make an accusation and hope the mud sticks and later the accusation is unproven, out of the news.
What a sick country we have become and what a stupid person Shearer appears to be.
Politics is addictive.
