I was surpried to see Nick Smith had a prepared speech, read off cards and he read from them religiously. He didnt even try to deny or correct any mistakes (If any) made by the previuos speakers, regarding ACC miscalculated assesments on the statistics ACC had themselve supplied.
This in itself leads me to beleive; Mr Smith felt sidestepping these points were preffered to telling lies and denying the statements the previous speakers made were correct and valid.
If I was in any two minds before that sure as hell made my mind up.
As stated by the gent from Hawks bay. I an't stupid and I'm no trout.
I'm with you. Who's next
