Hipkins and the Labour Party along with their spin artists are trying to make fools of NZers with their 'cock-up' explanation for Stuart Nash's email cover-up. Fortunately, their deceitful behaviour has been uncovered along with their arrogance.
" Only the hopelessly
jejune can take this explanation at face value.
It relies on the assumption that Stuart Nash’s ministerial advisors and two of Jacinda Ardern’s staffers could not recognise a very blatant breach of cabinet confidentiality.
Nor could they properly classify a document and apply freedom of information laws, even under the looming threat of an investigation by official information guardian, the chief Ombudsman.
(The email was withheld for being “out of scope” – Nash arguing it was sent in his capacity as an MP, which is not covered by official information rules, even though it explicitly discussed information he held as a minister).
Implausibly, none of this was picked up during at least three separate conversations between the prime minister’s office, Nash’s office and the Ombudsman?
Lastly, we would have to believe that two experienced aides at the heart of government could not spot a glaring political risk."
jejune - naive, simplistic and superficial
