It’s been over a week since Nicky Hager’s book Dirty Politics hit the bookshelves and interest in its contents shows no sign of abating.

Amid all the scandal, some lovely news. #DirtyPolitics book sales hit 15,000! Next up: to find number of e-books sold http://t.co/1lZYvjIHvQ— Dirty Politics (@DirtyPoliticsNZ) August 21, 2014

It's not a "Left wing smear campaign" when the media keep finding inconsistencies in what you have said. It's just your #DirtyPolitics.— Matthew Weaver (@nomlah) August 21, 2014

Great report @patrickgowernz. http://t.co/2SfGFj0XA2. Question for the world at large – how is this not corruption?

My prediction: what will really damage National is when John Key snaps in public. If this pressure carries on, I give it a week.

After Greens produce fully costed and ind reviewed fiscal doc, Key accuses me of being stoned. Business as usual for NZ’s PM. #DirtyPolitics

John Key claims NZers aren’t interested in dirty politics then opens his campaign with negative attack ads. Says it all.

Can John Key categorically deny any National Party staff worked with Cam Slater in the smearing of Tania Billingsley? http://t.co/cvacVQnf5c

#JohnKey defends #DirtyPolitics as normal. John Key is on every billboard. Every National billboard features a dirty politician #HagerBook
