Helen Kelly @helenkellyCTU · 2h
And @nzherald I sure you are investigating Glucina's role in all this?
John Drinnan @Zagzigger · 2h
Dirty politics been around long time - but dirtier now. imo Hagar did service for taking it outside the media/pollies inner circle
John Drinnan @Zagzigger · 3h
Is this why Judith Collins last year held off regulation of blogs against Law Commission advice - Herald media column Friday
SJT @simonjtapp · 3h
Just walked flatmate through @DirtyPoliticsNZ. His reaction: "I'm not political, but f*ck. Normal people will care about this shit".
Donna Chisholm @Donna_Chisholm · 3h
Feared @SevenSharp on #hagerbook might not be balanced. Journalistically it was a disgrace.
Paul Harper @pauljmharper · 4h
Halfway through @DirtyPoliticsNZ. Some of it is shocking, much of it is disgusting, but a lot is not surprising. #dirtypolitics
Kirsten McDougall @KirstMcDougall · 4h
Just had a call from 'consumerlink' to ask if I'd heard of Hager book and if it had negatively influenced my view of Nats @DirtyPoliticsNZ
Giovanni Tiso @gtiso · 4h
Twitter accounts being created for the sole purpose of discrediting @DirtyPoliticsNZ https://twitter.com/tycargill/with_replies …
Vernon Small @VernonSmall · 4h
Friend just observed the election will soon have more lawyers' billable hours than election bribes..
AnonyMs @homecomeexpat · 4h
Imagine if a news program did some actual journalism & investigated what is alleged in #hagerbook rather than merely asking people about it.
Penny Ashton @pennypink · 5h
I guess Nicky Hager's timing of his book is as coincidental as John Key's bloody biography. #dirtypolitics #hagerbook #votenz #spelling !
Finlay Macdonald @MacFinlay · 5h
Mike Hosking wouldn't know a 'smoking gun' if it was handed to him on a plate in book form.
Felix Geiringer @BarristerNZ · 7h
I don't understand response"we expect politicians to lie".We expect gang members to use violence. When they do we arrest them.#DirtyPolitics
Election Satire @2014satire · 7h
Amazon successfully woos Hagar with 11c per copy royalty deal. Key offers drone delivery for 'free'. More soon..
Election Satire @2014satire · 9h
Unconfirmed; Det. Insp Grant Wormald may lead Police unit investigating complaints against PMs office & SIS. More soon...
Philip Matthews @secondzeit · 9h
Haven't seen this many people commenting on a book without reading it since university.
Phil Goff @phil_goff · 9h
Key broke confidentiality around security intelligence for party political reasons and lied about it. Laundered his material thru Slater.
Kim Dotcom @KimDotcom · 9h
For the record: I haven't hacked Whaleoil. I have nothing to do with Hager's book. There will be legal action against Slater & co #StayTuned
Laura McQuillan @mcquillanatorz · 9h
Whale Oil is "a bit of a shock jock" Hager is "a left-wing conspiracy theorist who makes stuff up" - Key
Dirty Politics @DirtyPoliticsNZ · 10h
.@WhaleOil if you're going to be mentioning #DirtyPolitics, can you please learn to spell 'Hager' correctly. Otherwise you look silly.
Brook Sabin @BrookSabin · 10h
John Key will "go away and look at" claims Judith Collins got a prisoner moved for Cameron Slater. But isn't concerned by book "at all"
Matthew Hooton @MatthewHootonNZ · 11h
I think Michele Hewitson should interview Nicky Hager this week @nzherald
Graeme Edgeler @GraemeEdgeler · 11h
Many allegations in #DirtyPolitics. The one serious enough to ignore all the others and still have a massive story is the prisoner transfer.
GCSB Intercepts @GCSBIntercepts · 11h
So Nicky Hager benefited from the interception of someone else's communications and is getting lauded in some circles for it. Well, kudos!
Dawn Chorus @Dawnrantnrave · 11h
#dirtypolitics #hagerbook good to actually see some interest and conversation this election rather than the soporific apathy last election!
Morgan Godfery @MorganGodfery · 11h
The response to #DirtyPolitics has exposed a value gap: one between those who condone underhanded intrigues and those who hope for better.
Kirsten McDougall @KirstMcDougall · 12h
Picking thru Dirty Politics and feeling nauseous. One thing to suspect such behaviour, another to have evidence.
Russell Brown @publicaddress · 12h
Christ, what hideous people. #DirtyPolitics
Russell Brown @publicaddress · 12h
Any journalist who can't detect significance in #DirtyPolitics should perhaps find another trade.
Finlay Macdonald @MacFinlay · Aug 13
Weird how none of this stuff was in John Roughan's book ...
Rob Hosking @robhosking · 13h
Be great to see all the raw data from those leaked emails. Is there a place somewhere Nicky Hager could post them? #SlaterLeaks #hagerbook
Dirty Politics @DirtyPoliticsNZ · 13h
.@DavidSlack said Matthew Hooton spent 48hrs in the fetal position after Hollow Men release. What contortion will this latest book engender?
Martyn Bradbury @CitizenBomber · 13h
Nicky Hager has done more journalism in one book than the entire mainstream media has done all year
Greg Boyed @GregBoyed · 13h
So even after #dirtypolitics this is still an election with no actual real issues from any part of the political spectrum?Ace #Election2014
Bill Ralston @BillyRalston · 14h
If you're left you believe Hager. If you're right you're backing Key. If you're in the middle you're saying FFS all of you.
WikiLeaks @wikileaks · Aug 13
New Zealand: New dynamite Nicky Hager book "Dirty Politics" released http://nzh.tw/11308353 via @nzherald
Felix Geiringer @BarristerNZ · 13h
It is my opinion that #DirtyPolitics provides compelling evidence that @JudithCollinsMP did leak the @michelleboag/@bronwynpullar email.
Trendoa New Zealand @trendoaNZ · 13h
4 tweets per minute are mantaining #hagerbook as #1 trending topic in New Zealand http://trendoa.com/newzealand
WikiLeaks @wikileaks · 14h
Leaked emails released by WikiLeaks partner Nicky Hager may bring down New Zealand government. http://dirtypoliticsnz.com/ #dirtypolitics #nzpol
Philip Matthews @secondzeit · 14h
The #hagerbook is not available in Chch yet. Hoping Whale Oil can upload it to Mega like he did that other time.
milt ronmey @someofmybest · 14h
is #dirtypolitics the first time in nz politics where any comparisons to watergate are actually kind of appropriate??
toad @toad001 · 15h
A question for @winstonpeters: Will you rule out working with a Richard Nixon led National Party? #dirtypolitics
Matthew Hooton @MatthewHootonNZ · 15h
Nicky Hager tells @RadioLIVENZ he has no idea if his book might influence election and not interested if if moves polls!
David Currin @dc_IP · 15h
Critical test for NZ media today and their role as watchdogs against abuses of power by government. Our democracy is at stake #dirtypolitics
Tat Loo @Tat_Loo · 15h
Prime Minister's position as intel chief utterly untenable. How can he assure us that he is not using the SIS on his political opponents.
Matthew Holloway @hollowaynz · 15h
The @PaulHenryShow "speed reader" who said 'don't bother reading' #HagerBook was appointed by @stevenljoyce to chair education board.
Guy Williams @guywilliamsguy · 15h
I haven't read the #hagerbook but I have seen some tweets about it and that's GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!
David Slack @DavidSlack · 15h
Yes, they were stolen. Now: how do you feel about Collins appearing to have had a prisoner transferred at Slater’s request?
David Slack @DavidSlack · 15h
Yes, they were stolen. Now: how do you feel about Whaleoil being tipped off about forthcoming IOA applications so he can spin them?
Tat Loo @Tat_Loo · 15h
So, which of you journalists will be the one who makes NZ news history, and forces a Prime Minister's resignation from the SIS portfolio?
David Cunliffe @DavidCunliffeMP · 16h
The findings in #HagerBook are shocking and disgraceful. The Prime Minister John Key has very serious questions to answer.
Morgan Godfery @MorganGodfery · 16h
Impressions of #DirtyPolitics: This is the end of whatever ambitions Collins, Ede and Whale have. But only of mild annoyance to Key.
Sub Strata @Sub_Strata · 16h
time to call in the psychiatrists on this demented NZ political regime #DirtyPolitics

GCSB Intercepts @GCSBIntercepts · Aug 13
"We're going to have to get Nicky Hager for this. If only there were some underhanded, devious and venal way in which we could smear him."
TEAMKEY @TEAMKEY888 · Aug 13
#TEAMKEY NEED TO ANNOUNCE A PRODUCT RECALL. Our Whale Oil polish has been found to be contaminated. #HagerBook
Will de Cleene @ZippyGonzales · 16h
Funny how OIAs started as a check on government and have evolved into a cheque from government.
Morgan Godfery @MorganGodfery · 16h
Surely an investigation is due? It goes to the very heart of how we think and how we expect government to operate. Dirty politics indeed.
Alex Coleman @ShakingStick · 16h
I want to know what Aaron Gilmore thinks about the allegations of whaleoil/lusk blackmailing people to leave politics.
Megan Campbell @MeganCampbellNZ · 16h
Read more and still seems like Hager found dots...Then either joined wrong dots or imagined connecting dots. Classic conspiracy theory.
Lew @LewSOS · 16h
Who's Hager's leaker? Let's review. * benefits from Collins' demise * master of the dark arts himself * is fronting the govt media response
Giovanni Tiso @gtiso · 16h
Judith Collins is finished, by the way.
Lew @LewSOS · 16h
Nicky Hager is THE CAMERON SLAYER In cinemas this spring.
McCluskey @myscoundreljack · Aug 13
Existential crisis about the politics I've supported for the past four years
Philip Matthews @secondzeit · Aug 13
A reminder: Hager is a "Left-wing conspiracy theorist"; John Roughan's "unauthorised" bio was sold as merchandise at National conference.
The Ruminator @RuminatorNZ · Aug 13
Beware the Edes of Key #Hager
Kim Dotcom @KimDotcom · Aug 13
Over 200 smear stories about me by Whaleoil. A hit-job & character assassination contracted by National & John Key. Read Nicky Hager's book.
Dutton Peabody @MrDuttonPeabody · Aug 13
Colin Craig reportedly furiously phoning lawyers after being excluded from #HagerBook #nzpol
Matt Nippert @MattNippert · Aug 13
When the PMO loses @FranOSullivan, they've lost the plot. #hagerbook

David Farrar @dpfdpf · Aug 13
If I am in the book, then my big regret is that due to my weight loss, then Danny de Vito can no longer play me in the film version!
Election Satire @2014satire · Aug 13
Source:Nicky Hager book is an autobiography "My double life as an NSA agent."
Toby Manhire @toby_etc · Aug 13
Like Germany and football, the political scandal will ensue and somehow Winston Peters will emerge the winner. #DirtyPolitics
David Slack @DavidSlack · Aug 13
Tell you what, I'll take a drink every time Nicky Hager changes his story and you take one every time John Key does. Better give me the keys
