Darren Hughes Saga: Lies and Cover-ups

Who believes Darren Hughes is squeaky clean over his late night, drunken, naked tryst with a young boy? Something unlawful cannot be proven but this incident DID happen, and it is at the very least grubby and untoward of somebody who might some day be representing others as a politician.


Most of us knew where there was smoke there was fire except the deluded, false, moral free left, who are backing him to the hilt. The victim of Hughes affections, the young boy he put the hard word on, has been labeled as a liar and a person not to be trusted. This accusation is one that fits Hughes, not the young boy.

So Mr Hughes has been lying from the beginning over this incident and as the police are not able to prove anything illegal happened Hughes has taken that as vindication of his innocence and in a statement 2 days ago pointed the finger at the boy.

The public must remember he has a history of drunkenness and loose behavior and the incident with this young lad, while not illegal, has vicious shades of influence from an older experienced man who the victim looked up to and if the victim was female there just may have been a different outcome from the police investigation.

I wonder if the complainant might like to undertake a private prosecution or at the very least do some sort of media assault?

Darren needs to come clean about what happened before it comes out some other way. It was a filthy, nasty night that ended in one persons reputation being ruined and another backpedaling as fast as he can to cover his well padded arse.

Darren Hughes Saga: A Question of Leadership


The issue over Darren Hughes and his sexual dalliances with young boys is more of a side issue if you can get over the image of a distressed, naked teenager running down the road away from Mr Hughes abode a few weeks ago.

What is at issue here as far as politics goes is Leadership and the failure of Phil Goff to be open and honest with first his own voters and then the New Zealand public at large.

Did he really think he could keep this quiet?

On that issue alone one would have to question his decision making on.

When you drill down further though there are also moral and honesty issues involved here.

What kind of leader tries to hide a sexual offense of a subordinate and then tries to deflect appropriate criticism brought on him by blaming the Government for "leaking the information to the media"?

Darren Hughes is also the chief whip of the Labour party, responsible for keeping Labour colleagues in line, how is he supposed to be the arbiter of good judgement if his leader allows him to trip the light fantastic all over the country with every teenage boy that takes his fancy?

Mr Goff has been aware of Darren's track record for hitting on teen boys as least as far back as Christmas 2009, where he hit on another boy at a Labour Party shindig so what on earth was Goff doing allowing Darren Hughes to continue in his role when there was so much evidence that Hughes was not fit for the job?

The answers he has given to defend his series of bad decisions just doesn't satisfy the public at large let alone Labour supporters.

Under pressure he has looked ineffectual, evasive, very uncomfortable and dishonest.

You have to ask yourself, is this a man you want leading your country post November 26?

Anyone for Gingernuts and a cup of tea?
