Panama Papers
-
To a certain degree they have the media on their side, they were feral in their coverage of the last election and they've been all over the Panama leaks . Problem is I don't think people trust the media too much either .<br><br>
I still maintain if Shearer had been given some decent media training and support from his party he'd have given Key a run for his money in 2014 . Labour were polling in the high 30s when he was leader , they slumped to the high 20s with him gone . Shearer looked absolutely furious on tv the morning after the election , I can't say I blame him after the way he was treated. -

<p>See occasional references to assholes who've (almost) totally mismanaged their businesses, gone broke leaving dozens of "little guys" badly out of pocket - and they're holed up in their $10 million "trust-owned" mansion with their own assets neatly protected.</p>

<p>No doubt. But that is not the trust structure at fault it is the totally unprincipled bit of cockwash that has used it. There are thousands of such people that don't use trusts that avoid paying their genuine creditors. Phoenix companies are rife, where a limited company with massive liabilities goes into voluntary liquidation and then a new company starts up the next day, with the same people and the same premises but without the liabilities. This does not make limited companies a bad thing and nor does your example make trusts a bad thing.</p> -
