On the very day that American voters go to the polls, a secret tape is released of National's deputy Bill English voicing his concerns about Obama.
 
Political commentator Linda Clark reviews the latest tape in the ongoing National saga, as we ask if the tape comes too late to hurt Key, and what impact the tape - if any - has in the run up to the election.

Hey National supporters,

you need to realise that if the party you support was not so terrible and did not believe the things it said in private THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. But the fact is you support a terrible party, and the public is finding out just how terrible it is. If they legitimately believed the war in Iraq was a bad idea, that Working For Families was a good idea and that National actually had principles (unlike English who said winning was everything despite National's "high minded principles"), this wouldn't happen. They would then be a not so terrible party. But they are a terrible party and they're proving it to us with their own words.

So, a right-wing blog site known for using smear, innuendo, lies and abuse to get its views across names someone no one has ever heard of, and we're meant to assume it's true, jsut like that? Don't you guys realise one of the basic tenets of journalism is DO NOT REVEAL YOUR SOURCES. It's one of the first things you learn in journalism school. If you reveal your sources, you don't get the goods. Simple as that.

nz herald, Stuff are both now running that name. So it is time tv3 face up. If this is true and he does have labour links, then this is obvious a beat up, and that is news. And sorry Garner, but this line you wont reveal your sources is just talk for a blogger did a better job in getting the labour ties than you, a paid journalist. Labour have denied links, but it is obvious this Kees has links to Mallard and Mike Williams. Do your job tv3 and report the news like you claim this is. Don't cover it up like you did the medal thieve that talked to John. The main question now is why is Duncan Garner protecting the identity of a Labour person who is continuing labours dirty tricks, and why does tv3 not give the conversation in the context it was taken, or is Kees playing tv3 for fools?

Why don't you try activist Kees Keizer instead of pleading ignorance?
