	Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - The Region - Donald Brash Interview (June 1999)
		BRASH: I gave a speech in London in June last year, and I was asked to speak on the question of the success of the reforms and whether they are a model for other countries.
		BRASH: This again was part of the public sector reform more generally, where the conviction of the reformers was that there was not enough accountability for policy outcomes on the part of officials and bureaucrats.
		BRASH: I bought myself a piece of land to develop into a kiwifruit orchard back about 1981 at a time when buying and developing kiwifruit orchards was one of the widely used tax reduction techniques used by high-income New Zealanders, and I was at that time a reasonably high earner in the private sector.

	Scoop: Agenda Trancript - Don Brash 12 August 2006
		DON We think this is a smoke screen by the Labour Party to excuse the fact or try to excuse the fact that they have egregiously broken the rules and we're saying to Helen Clark that was a corrupt practice and you should have the Labour Party pay that money back to the taxpayer.
		DON Certainly I believe in transparency, certainly I want very clear to know exactly how much is spent on election campaign, the Labour Party overspent the electoral limit by half a million bucks and that half million bucks was funded by the taxpayer in clear breach of the rules, the Labour Party stole that election.
		DON No, there's a myth about that Don Brash is putty in the hands of a group of faceless – most people know who the names are in fact – but I mean I think I've got some very good advisors and I feel confident in them and they felt very comfortable with the speech.

		Scoop has dug up some old audio archives of Don Brash before the last election being interviewed by student radio, and the hosts turned it into an agony aunt session with Don giving advice to students ranging from cyberspace love to hairy partners to blondy bimbo beauty queens.
		Don Brash won the last election, and will win the next whenever it is called.
		My main issue with Brash is that he really needs to answer media questions better, he struggles with this and needs a bit of media training.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Who is the Real Anti-Muslim Here?
		Don Brash, leader of the conservative opposition National Party, defined the values as "an acceptance of democracy and the rule of law, religious and personal freedom and legal equality of the sexes"....
		Hinting at this fact, as Brash did, is not "anti-Muslim" unless one accepts the premise that such views are embedded in the very nature of that religion.
		Brash is a classical liberal type of person, not allied with Religious Right or the Racist Right either.

	Don Brash Information
		Brash's first entry into politics came in 1980 when the National Party selected him to stand as its candidate in the by-election in the East Coast Bays electorate.
		Brash's decision to make his challenge public caused considerable criticism, as party supporters perceived an open leadership dispute as highly damaging to the party's image.
		Brash proposed a number of ways to reduce the number of parents on the DPB and to return it to its original intent of giving aid to single parent families in need or in danger.

		Brash again failed to win the seat at the general election of 1981.
		Brash's decision to make his challenge public caused considerable criticism, as party supporters perceived an open leadership dispute as highly damaging to the party's image.
		Brash has maintained his position that neither he nor his party had any part in the design or production of the pamphlets, and that it was the Exclusive Brethren's own initiative, not unlike the anti-National initatives organised and paid for by the trade union movement in support of the Labour Party.

	Don Brash (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Don Brash (born 1940) is, as of 2003, the leader of the National Party (presently the largest (by membership, if not elected representatives) political party in New Zealand) and a former governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
		Brash's first entry into politics came in 1980, when he was asked to stand as the National Party's candidate for a by-election in the East Coast Bays electorate.
		Brash's attempt at the seat, however, was unsuccessful - some believe that this was a result of the decision by Robert Muldoon, National Party Prime Minister, to raise tolls on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, an important route for East Coast Bays.

		Brash said there was a dangerous drift towards racial separatism in New Zealand and a National government under his leadership would remove "divisive race-based features" from New Zealand legislation and abolish the seven Maori seats in parliament.
		Brash said an explicit manifesto promise before an election would be sufficient to lead to change, although he said no such promise would be in 2005's manifesto.
		Brash kept quiet over the issue at first but was forced to admit that he knew Exclusive Brethren members were going to distribute the brochures, which called for a change of government.

	NZ goes to the polls: World: News: News24
		Clark and conservative challenger Don Brash campaigned up to the bitter end on Friday, battling over every last vote in the country of four million people as conflicting polls defied any confident prediction about the result.
		Brash, who ditched his socialist leanings for market capitalism after researching his doctorate on the effects of investment, is heading a National Party platform offering tax cuts to be worth NZ$3.9bn by 2008.
		Brash favours the kind of right-wing economic policies New Zealand followed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while Clark is more in the social democrat mould of Britain's Tony Blair.

		In that speech, Brash railed against ''the dangerous drift towards racial separatism'' and complained that there was a ''grievance industry'' exploiting concerns over the implementation of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, signed between Maori leaders and British colonisers, guaranteeing Maori ownership of their lands, forests and fisheries.
		Brash, at first, denied all knowledge of what has been estimated to be a 385,000 dollar-campaign and then confirmed he had met with the group, but insisted it was for prayers only.
		Brash allegedly told U.S. officials that the ban would be "gone by lunchtime," the day after he was elected, a record of the meeting, released by a Labour government minister in the election campaign, notes.

		Don Brash has his name on a piece in this morning's Herald, called "Accountability and Consensus Missing." It gives an interesting insight into the mind of the man who wants to be Prime Minister.
		Brash has revealed himself as a curious sort of wimp, who has extended his refusal to be open about his economic views to cover his social views too.
		Brash may not be shouting from the rooftops that he's going to start charging for hospital visits, for instance, but his tax and spending plans don't stack up without something like that.

	Should Don Brash resign as National Party leader? \| Sir Humphrey's (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Don should resign.Â As much because he's a banker as he is an adulterer...Â and yes that means Key shouldn't be the replacement...
		Given that Brash did not resign, and looks like he may not, then National need to come out very strongly and make it clear that attacks on the private side of their lives are not on, and that they are disgusted Labour are attempting to divert attention from the Election Pledge Card scandal.
		Brash in or out, it would be good strategy to flex some of that talent and get more National people in front of the cameras and getting used to having the spotlight on them.

		Brash is often described as hard-working, intelligent, urbane, even boring by his own admission, but does not fit many standard political moulds.
		Brash gained a hawkish anti-inflation reputation during his 14 years as governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand before he left in April 2002 to seek public office.
		Brash, who challenged for his party’s leadership within a year of leaving the central bank, believes his experience outside politics has made him a suitable candidate to take on Clark.
