Why did John Key lie about the 10 000 houses in Christchurch?



PM admits figure of 10,000 unlivable houses not official
Prime Minister John Key has admitted a claim that 10,000 houses would have to be abandoned in Christchurch was not based on official advice.

On Monday, Mr Key said "potentially some sections and some areas of Christchurch ... will need to be abandoned", citing the 10,000 figure.

But the figure was questioned yesterday, prompting the Government to clarify that the figure was an estimate from Earthquake Commission engineers after a flyover of the city in the days following the February 22 earthquake.


WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS HE DOING? We have Gerry Brownlee seeming to want to destroy every building older than two years (isn't it bizarre that Gerry wants to flatten heritage buildings when so many people died in that supposed modern buildings at CTV?) and now we have John Key telling the people of Christchurch that almost 10 000 homes will need to be demolished which now turns out he just brain-farted into the microphone!

He's the PM and he's terrorizing the people of Christchurch telling them numbers of homes that will be demolished that he hasn't even cleared with the officials???

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS HE DOING?

Donkey is out of his depth, numbers and deceit are his specialties, not human need and empathy

How is this a lie?

It might be inaccurate but not all inaccurate statements are lies as you should be well aware.

For it to be a lie there must be some evidence that he knew that there was no way 10,000 houses would need to be demolished. According to some reports this is a possibility.

Key's lying is endemic. He can't stop himself. The need to be popular? To be the centre of attention? He clearly lied in his press conference when announcing the new GG. Watch his eyes flick up to the right when he said he'd phoned the Queen. That was a lie, as were his subsequent comments - his level of personal embarrassment makes that very clear.

most likely the same reason that Goff said: "including the tens of thousands of homes, schools and businesses that have been destroyed or damaged."

not just ten thousand, but tens of thousands! crikey, that sounds like a lot!

Gosy aren't you busy on Red Alert lying about the war on news getting public funding? The war on news receives no public funding at all.

As for your game of semantics about Key lying, he's lying because he doesn't know what the actual number is and his lies are terrifying the people of Christchurch. I like your semantics with trying to claim the orange county racist scum aren't racist because a religion isn't a race.

Classic Gosy. Shouldn't Kiwibank employees be working rather than blogging?

You might like to claim being factually accurate is just semantics but then again I wouldn't expect any less.

I think you will find I stated you were using your publically fundeed television slots to promote this formation of a new left wing party. Do you deny that Citizen A is publically funded? If so why has it got a big NZ on Air promo associated with it?

And you lie when you claim I work for Kiwibank. Well according to your own bizarre logic anyway.

YAWN, come on champ, you can do better than this.

I think you will find I stated you were using your publically fundeed television slots to promote this formation of a new left wing party. Do you deny that Citizen A is publically funded? If so why has it got a big NZ on Air promo associated with it?
But it wasn't Citizen A that was put up on Red Alerts site Mr Gosman, it was The War on News, the latter is not funded by public funds, the former is but it wasn't the former that was being posted on the blog.

And you lie when you claim I work for Kiwibank. Well according to your own bizarre logic anyway.
Did you lose your job at Kiwibank? I'm sorry to hear that Mr Gosman.
