Here is something else from the blog:
"Did Stephen Cook or me (Cameron Slater himself) ever harass or pressure Bevan Chuang? - No, categorically no. In point of fact we went out of our way to protect her, including putting her up in a motel at our expense. Our reward for that, being lied about and thrown under the bus. We have audio, txts and emails that show that there was no pressure, she can release ALL of my texts or emails anytime she likes, but won’t because she knows and I know there was no coercion, pressure or harassment. In fact she was given multiple chances to withdraw the story right up to 2 minute (ironic) before the story was broken.
Why did we run the story? - Because Len Brown has a history of this sort of behaviour…little did I know just how bad, and that will eventually come out in coming days. This has turned out to be way bigger than just a rooting mayor…it now involves favours for floozies, graft, bribery, secret commissions, breaches of the Code of Conduct and likely to reveal additional affairs and murky dealings with a major player in Auckland that could only be construed as graft and corruption." |
