The Hollow Men: Nicky Hager Responds to Don Brash - Yesterday Don Brash circulated a long rebuttal of my book The Hollow Men. In the interests of accuracy I should respond to his substantial points. Out of a 350 page book, with nearly 1000 detailed references, Don Brash has found two minor inaccuracies. I am happy to take his word about both of them. But neither detracts from the book. See...

Scoop Satire: Nicky Hager - Guilty of Journalism? - Dear Sir: Nicky Hager, if that's his real name, is proposing to publish some sort of book... It took me some time to understand it, but it seems the information in question was not released by an official press spokesman in any way.

Following the revelation's that respected
researcher/investigative journalist Nicky Hager had written
a currently legally suppressed book detailing the ins and
outs of National under the leadership of Dr Don Brash –
the National Leader kindly agreed to take a few questions
from the media. Question: Do you know in 2005
when you first met the Brethren? When they first became
interested in helping the National Party in the campaign, so
look at when the election was and try to remember when your
first meeting was, or a phone call, or an email. Do you
remember? Dr Brash: No I don't. I don't think I
have ever had an email from the Exclusive Brethren.
