I have "experience in talking about welfare". Does that mean more people will listen to me than to Don Brash? No.
The odious John Banks told The Nation yesterday that he had blocked a planned speech about welfare that Don Brash was scheduled to deliver because "he had no experience in talking about welfare".
So who does Banksie?
As the leader of ACT Brash can talk about whatever he likes.
Banks tried to take over ACT in 2005 with a silly speech about Red Bull and branding. He shouldn't have been doing that. He had no experience in talking about Red Bull.
Oh I despair over ACT. I shouldn't. I know. The ACT I knew and stood for is long gone.

Fraid that's life Lindsay.
Most entrepreneurs get pushed out by the bean counters and power brokers pretty early in the piece.
ACT needs some traction.
The Don doing an Orewa on welfare could be just what the party needs.
Who needs experience to say what everyone in NZ already knows: that there's no money left; that welfare has to stop!
Not just the benefits but all the "free" stuff from schools & hospitals to loans EQC ACC WFF - the whole lot just has to stop!
Don wrote two 2025 taskforce reports saying just this!
ACT running on an "end welfare" platform would get around 10MPs. If Dons not allowed tontell the truth about NZ, no surprise noone wants to vote ACT
Banks is a Trojan horse planted to collapse ACT altogether.
Expect a complete fracture of the party after the election, followed by assimilation to National.
How sad.
Lindsay, Banks never said he blocked the speech, and in the real world he didn't.
Manolo
I can't see Act being assimilated into National when most Act people came from Labour.
It would be interesting if after the election and Liarbours poorest ever result, there was a move by ex Act people to reform Liarbour back into what it was in the 1980's.
Paranormal
Anon,
So why didn't he simply say that?
TV3 news reported him saying Brash didn't have any experience in talking about welfare. That's what I heard.

Read Don Brash in the Herald today Lindsay? I told you Banks wasn't vetting or vetoing his speeches.
Don't know why Banks didn't say "no". Probably likes showing his "strength".
Todays instalment just continues the bad look - that the second on the list is undermining the first. He did it with the cannabis issue too. So maybe he didn't actively block the speech. But he publicly questioned Don's ability to deliver it.
Let ACT fall.....and a new TRUE Liberal party arise without the dross and bullshit swamping it as it is now.
