Our we seeing corruption not seen since the days of Robert Muldoon? RE John Key's deal with Sky City's proposed Convention Centre: There will be thousands of words written in coming days and weeks: Non-Sky City poky owners allegedly have to pay out 37% of their profits to charity, but however Sky City will have to pay only 2% to charity. The extra costs of purchasing more pokies by Sky City will be able to be paid for from profits they DONT have to pay to charity - $42 million.. Isn't it funny that John key reportedly discussed a deal with Sky City before the 2008 elections before National was govt, before Key became PM and appointed himself as Tourism Minister. Hey sweetheart, I have a deal for you!! A while ago I wrote somewhere that National was dead in the water - now you can smell the rotting fish! Now this couldn't happen in Godzone could it? Skygate!
