I'll put my evidence against your allegations anytime Mr Williams

Yesterday on Agenda, Labour Party President Mike Willams accused John Key of registering in an electorate he didn't live in, and then voting in that electorate. Mike Williams said:

"[Y]ou're looking at a honeymoon period for John Key and what happens after honeymoons of course is the cold light of day when the journalists start really looking at people and the question will be asked of John Key you know for example why did he maintain and electoral address and vote at a place he didn’t live at, and he did that for a long time."

Okay, no evidence, just an allegation.

So looking at the Leader of his own Party, proven beyond all possible disbelief is that they:
  • Passed off an artwork they hadn't painted as their own work, allowing it to be sold.
  • Defamed a man by calling him a convicted murderer (he was convicted only of Manslaughter), then used taxpayers funds to settle the subsequent defamation suit.
  • Fired a Minister who committed no crime on the basis that he acted immorally with a teenage girl.
  • But appointed a Minister who has several convictions for Fraud.
  • And defended then promoted a Minister who acted inproperly by making poor judgement with his acts of discipline while a teacher.
  • Illegally used over $800,000 of taxpayers funds to promote her Party during the 90 days before an election.
  • Created a whitewash inquiry into serious allegations against a Minister to appease the public, but when a police investigation is launched they find enough evidence of criminal activity to lay a charge.


Mike Williams is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if he thinks he can make John Key look corrupt by saying he voted in the wrong electorate without providing evidence that he was not entitle to.

And personally, he should be more worried about the ambitions of Phil Goff.

  • Speaking of Phil Goff, he is the MP for Mt Roskill, yet lives in plutey Karaka (Clevedon electorate). I hope he's squeaky clean, otherwise Mr Williams scored an own goal.

    Besides, you can cast a vote anywhere you please these days - special votes allow out of towners to cast votes for their actual place of residence.
