The Coster Gambit.

The Coster Gambit?

Bullshit!

One of the last questions Tame put to him in the first interview was:
“How does this play out, how does it end?”
Costers answer was: “ I don’t know”.
Tame pressed him again: “You dont know?”

If he had a strategy, a plan, a gambit in place at that point or even if he wanted to send a subtle message to the protesters wouldn’t his answer to that question have been more along the lines of:

“We, are monitoring activities among the camp very closely and if things continue to escalate or if we see an increase in illegal activity or if there is a real danger to the Wellington public we will need to reassess what is required from us.”

Would have been a damm sight more forceful than “I dont know”.
I bet the protesters were quivering in fear hearing that.

Coster’s gambit? 
Pffft!!

i'm not so sure - if one did want to lull protesters/occupiers into a false sense of security, then a response of "I don't know" is probably the only response one could give...
