[Cainad (dec.)]

 
What the fuck is he saying in response to each question?

[Pæs]

He is answering: "Mr Speaker, yes." to all of the "A or B?" questions.

[Cainad (dec.)]

Oh my god.

Can he run for President of the United States next? He's obviously overqualified for the position.

Dr RUSSEL NORMAN (Co-Leader—Green) to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by all his statements relating to Government policy?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY (Prime Minister): Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Should New Zealanders believe his statements that the asset sales would not cost more than 2 percent of the sale proceeds, or should they believe Treasury figures that show that the cost of selling Mighty River Power was twice that much?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Should New Zealanders believe his statement on Campbell Live that under his new law the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) would not have access to the content of New Zealanders' communications, or should they believe his subsequent statements that the GCSB would be able to read their emails?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Should New Zealanders believe his statement that the Auditor-General's investigation of the Skycity deal vindicated his Government, or should they believe the Auditor-General herself, who said that the process was neither transparent nor even-handed?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Should New Zealanders believe his statement that the Henry inquiry had Ministers' permission to examine their email records, or should they believe Judith Collins' statement at the Privileges Committee that the Henry inquiry did not have permission to read her emails?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Should New Zealanders believe his statement that he will not confirm whether the GCSB receives funding from the US Government, or should they believe this cable from the US Embassy showing that the National Security Agency has funded a position within the GCSB?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.


Dr Russel Norman: Given those answers, in all their fulsomeness, why does he think that the credibility of his statements has fallen to a point where according to the latest polls only 23 percent of New Zealanders believe that he tells the truth?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: I do not.


Dr Russel Norman: Does it concern him that fewer than one in four New Zealanders believe that what their Prime Minister tells them is the truth?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: The member is wrong in his assertion.


Dr Russel Norman: When the Prime Minister said it has been "fun" fighting red zone landowners in court over compensation after an earthquake, does he think it has been fun for them?


Rt Hon JOHN KEY: No.
