Clarks drops another lie in debate

In the TV3 Leaders debate between John Key and Helen Clark tonight, Helen Clark lied about the shower restrictions that Shane Jones was going to introduce in February 2009.

She said nothing of the sort was being, or had been contemplated but we all know there was a Labour working party doing research on it and it is a fact that it was going to be introduced next year.

Labour dropped back when there was the logical public outcry so close to a general election and they then considered relaxing shower head flow from 6 litres a minute to 9.

If elected Labour will introduce this law and many other nanny state laws like it. It has been par for the course for the last  9 years and simply would be out of character for Labour to change their ways.
