APOLOGY TO HON. STEVEN JOYCE
On 2 March 2018ย a column I wrote was published in the print edition of the NBR and on the NBRโsย website. It was titled: โJoyceย sacking first test of Bridgesโ leadershipโ.
This articleย could reasonably be understood to suggest that the Hon. Steven Joyce hadย engaged in unethical, dishonest and/orย corrupt behaviour during his tenure as aย Minister in the previous National Government.


And? And?
“….Nothing in the column was intended to convey such suggestions, which would be untrue. I apologise to Mr Joyce for any harm caused as a consequence.
Matthew Hooton”
The end bit is quite important, though I do like the statement as printed..its rather more accurate and genuine.
The National Party is stacked with a motley crew of liars, thieves, con-artists and bought.
Joyce must have threatened to sue him !
