How low are the Herald & Fairfax prepared to stoop?
At no point were Key or English (1) accused of witchcraft (!), or (2) compared to a narcissistic sexist bully.
And yet both of these things have happened before Jacinda’s even sworn in.
A vicious campaign is already evident, that will only galvanise support for her government.
A tip or two for the incoming government (gratis and free of GST going forward)
1. The Prime Minister and Deputy hold an urgent meeting with the State Services Commissioner in which they seek an unequivocal undertaking that he intends actively and proactively upholding the principles of the public service and its codes of conduct, and that he’ll ensure he’ll operate without partisan favour.
2. (With all leaders of the coalition) Hold a meeting(s) with the CEOs of MSD, MBIE, MPI, Health, Education, NZTA, Defence, Commissioner of Police and a few others (CEOs of SOEs and the like) and seek their absolute undertaking that they AND their staff – intend abiding by, and implementing the policies of this democratically elected government. If they are not prepared to do so, a simple 2 line resignation is acceptable before leaving the meeting.
I’m pretty sure both Jacinda and Winston have very good bullshit detectors and Winston (given his longevity and experiences) has the means for enforcement.
Given we are beginning to see the unprecedented sore loser opposition and dirty tricks mechanisms ramping up – even before a swearing in, that may very well need to be the first item on the first 100 days agenda
There is of course a 3. in which a Ron Mark should also attend and it’s to do with the secret squirrels
