Kim Hill & Winston

I'm going to blog this live tonight - stay tuned, it should be hilarious! My typing is not that fast so bear with me.

Ok, here we go.

Kim Hill opens up saying Winnie is the possible kingmaker.

What is this flying squad?

It's like every other civil nation.... (interruption)..need to treat these matters with urgency etc...cannot have 20,000 overstayers and not treat it as serious.

Been 20,000 for years?

No, has worsened dramatically.

We got statistics todays saying no, anyway flying squad outside the immigration service?

We need a new group of men (interruption) well men that can do the job, former investigators etc...

It doesn't sound specific?

It's very specific...let me ask you this it started last week in queen street, they've taken my policy...

Donald says you are the ugly face of nz politics...?

He's hardly someone I'll waste my time with tonight...i've had green members writing to me saying good on ya.....

Let's get back to the squad!

Give me a chance to answer the questions. Ewen-Street said the greens have lost their way. (some rant about streams and rivers)

What will the flying squad do?

Go thru documentation etc.

How will they do that?

It's not hard, every country has done it.

It's in immigration service isn't it?

Maybe, but you need to deal with it now.

Just because they (the Iraqis) work for Saddam doesn't mean they support the regime? Do you accept you may have made a mistake about (some guy I missed name)

Show some patience.

Why don't you reveal your information?

(Blames the media! Mentions Jim Peron and how he gave information outside the house there).

Do you resile your statement about the (missed name) Iraqi.

No.

You didn't have the information when you made the statement (keeps going with question).

No logic with what you are saying, stay patient. These questions are baseless and meaningless.

Do you accept your information is wrong?

Just wait...maybe you'll apologise in due course.

(more on the specific iraqi and why do it in parliament)

Winnie says to be patient again and to try to be more professional!

Why did you need privilege to make the allegation?

Because you won't publish it unless you have protection! ('tis the media's fault).

Immigration & elderley are your specialist subjects?

Yes.

You stress these in an election year?

No, you're wrong. I pushed immigration in 2002, 2003 etc.

Have u costed your elderly policies?

Yes. It's less than Cullen said.

You costed at what?

Under $700 million (argument about preciseness). We put a liberal figure on it - $700 million.

Kim - here is another figure, Maori to be outnumbered by Asians, yet stats NZ say no?

(Debate on what is a Maori).

So how many Maori will there be in 2021?

It is artificially inflated.

So how many by your criteria?

(No answer. Kim gets shitty - Winnie says you don't understand the subject, I'm a Maori etc blah blah blah. Winnie getting angry).

How many overstayers now?

20,000 give or take 5%.

Kim produces quote and asks if he said it about being a soft country. Winnie reads it and bumbles his way through it, has to admit he said it. NOT GOOD!

Kim says 31,000 immigrants turned down, that's not being soft.

Winnie says this is a pathetic question. Winnie turns defence into attack, very bumbly though.

Do you want to be PM?

It will be a 3 horse race. I want u to get it clear in your mind that we keep the country honest...workable policies etc. We are not going to be obsessed with kingmaker talk...cabinet ministers etc.

Kim mentions 1996.

Winnie says NZ 1st has recovered then blames National for 1996. They reneged on sale of assets and attacked sick and young...

Did your supporters feel betrayed in 1996?

You journalists can accuse me of things all the way to the election. I represent a democratic party...they deseve to be consulted...that is why we are strong and vibrant.

People don't know where you will go when they vote?

The public must speak 1st...what do Helen and Don say?

You have an obligation to say which way you'll go.

We will do far better...we will shock you on election night.

But you will still have to be in coalition?

You think of power. I DON'T THINK THAT WAY!...rant on how the country has gone to the dogs during last 20 yrs...

Ends. Phew!

Hope you like it.

Comments:
Thanks for that Gooner, it may be a long read but well worth it it shows two things firstly Winston is in control and wants to say what he wants to say. And it also shows that Kim Hill takes her own pre-conceived views into her interviews and wants her views to be the one that comes across at the end as shown by her repeatedly biased Final words.
 
If you could just get the hand waving into the summary, it would be perfect!
