LISTEN ABOVE AS DON BRASH SPEAKS TO CHRIS LYNCHNewly released documents suggest Don Brash was barred from speaking at Massey University because of his views, rather than security concerns.Vice-Chancellor Jan Thomas said at the time she cancelled the former National Party leader's talk due to a threat to security.But emails released under the Official Information Act show she wanted to block him, because she didn't want the university to be seen to be endorsing racist behaviour.They show she emailed a staff member, asking for potential reasons she could give to stop him from speaking.Don Brash told Chris Lynch he believes she has no other alternative but to resign as she has been dishonest about the whole thing and "clearly hoodwinked" many people involved.
