It is MFAT’s fault – yeah right.
And for the record I don’t agree with Phil Goff that McCully should launch an inquiry. McCully can’t prosecute, defend and judge his own case. Someone else should take charge, where’s John Key?

Budget leaks
Posted by Trevor Mallard on May 26th, 2009Beginning to slip out.
- Playcentres not to get the funding promised in Nats election policy for at least another year.
- Modern apprenticeships abolished.
- Polytechnic funding for trades courses slashed.
- Sparc budget slashed.
Happy to add to list.
Let the Penguin in John
Posted by Trevor Mallard on May 20th, 2009I find it hard to come to David Farrar’s defence but Bill English’s decision to exclude him from the budget lock-up is just wrong. Even more so Bernard Hickey. While both write much that I don’t agree with to ban someone because they write a blog is just plainly unjustifiable. Treasury refered the question of whether to let Farrar in to us in 2007 and the decision was yes.
He wrote blogs in 2007 and 2008.
Beehive rumour has it that John Key is pissed with Farrar for breaking the news of the John Allen appointment weeks before the final decision was taken by Cabinet.
Maybe he needs to discuss the matter with his Minister of Foreign Affairs who regularly uses Farrar to fly kites.
