FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APOLOGY TO HON. STEVEN JOYCE
On 2 March 2018 a column I wrote was published in the print edition of the NBR and on the NBR’s website. It was titled: “Joyce sacking first test of Bridges’ leadership”.
This article could reasonably be understood to suggest that the Hon. Steven Joyce had engaged in unethical, dishonest and/or corrupt behaviour during his tenure as a 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 !
