| Judith Collins and good buddy John Key. |
Judith Collins, national’s
wonderful at large Chinese Milk Company diplomat, shines yet again…this time making
unfounded accusations against a NZTV reporter.
Collins
was attempting to cover up her husband’s shady dealings over his connections to
a Chinese based company exporting logs from swamp lands in the far north. Many
of the people and companies involved in this, some would suggest illegal trade,
have criminal records. Her husband was also a key player in Collin’s unexplained
and controversial involvement with Oravidas owner Stone Shi, managing director
Julia Xu both of whom are according to Collins confessions are close and dear
friends, and a senior Chinese border control official while on an official trip
to China in December 2013.
It is
thought that after this yet again shocking behaviour by Crusher Collins that
Key needs to reassert his slippery and declining grip over Collins and her wind-blown
utterances that are damaging his media and PR created and fading persona of
control.
The clear
evidence of thirteen MP’s not wishing to stand this election and the departure
both forced and otherwise of a further six National MP’s in the past few years
creates a clear and concise picture of a government out of control. It is
starting to look more and more like the government and especially the cabinet
is being run by shady Chinese businessmen with close links to the Communist regime
in China.
Key plays
golf with them and accepts donations from them [Oravida 56 thousand in 2011 and
then 30 thousand more after Collins visit to Oravida’s Chinese head office in
Shanghai for a private dinner date…yeah right.
But
Judith Collins has been forced to apologise, she suddenly got her memory back,
it is believed that she will be seeking medical help with her apparent onset of
memory failures which have grown dramatically since her visit the China. TVNZ
covered the issue fully on Sunday at 6pm.
In the midst of a crisis over the
line between politics and business Justice Minister Judith Collins has
apologised for suggesting a journalist sought her help on a police matter.
TV One news, says Ms Collins referred to its
political reporter Katie Bradford during an interview with TV3, saying a member
of the press gallery approached her about her then husband having difficulty
being recruited by the New Zealand Police.
Ms Bradford's mother is the former
Green MP and frequently arrested protester Sue Bradford.
TVNZ's head of news and current
affairs, John Gillespie, says he spoke to the minister on Sunday and she stated
Katie Bradford never asked for help.
Katie Bradford released a
statement saying the reported comments were a surprise to her.
"Back in 2010 my ex partner
was considering applying for the police force - at the time it had been
suggested to him that he might have an issue being accepted.
"I recall that this came up
in informal conversation between the minister and me but I never asked her to
intervene. As it was my then partner never formally applied to join the
police."
Ms Collins has been tweeting
prolifically all weekend and on Sunday she tweeted an apology to Ms Bradford.
"Katie I was answering
questions abt wider public engagement. Yr example came to mind. Reflected on
that. Shouldn't have.sorry"
Labour leader David Cunliffe then
tweeted: "Sorry to put a damper on your weekend - but seriously, why is Judith
Collins still a minister?!"
Ms Collins has been under fire
since early March over the dinner she had with Oravida owner Stone Shi,
managing director Julia Xu and a senior Chinese border control official while
on an official trip to China in December 2013.
Ms Collins' husband, David Wong Tung,
is a director of Oravida, a company that sells New Zealand dairy and food
products in China.
Last week
National's Maurice Williamson resigned as a minister after it emerged he called
police after they arrested wealthy Chinese businessman Donghua Liu, whom Mr
Williamson knew and had helped gain citizenship in 2010.
