Ryall’s questions in the house today intimate that King was involved in this debacle after she had appointed Hausman. I wonder what else he has, he appears to be dripfeading.

If the CEO said he received the letter and showed it to others and questioned the adviseability of passing it on to Ms Parisi then clearly it exists and is effectively by Kings refusal to directly deny it, so if it is not on her database perhaps it has been “accidently” deleted and the UK software forensic team should be provided with the hardrive for retireval of all “lost Data”.

If the letter from King is true then if nothing else it demonstrates her inability to keep out of the day to day business of her portfolio and that she is very dumb and lacks the very common sense she preaches so much about. One wonders if she does the same thing with the police? Who dare give her hubby a speeding ticket?

burt , it makes a mockery of the terms insider trading and coercion. King is up to her vile neck in this, but as Lieanne Dalzeel has shown in the past, you can lie openly in Klark’s regime as often as you like and without ever having to face a consequence.

Sounds to me like Lind is the most pussy-whipped person to have ever been appointed to Hausmann’s company… Actually is it Hausmann’s company or is it King’s ?

So let me get this right: Ray Lind goes home and tells his wife that another woman came up to him at work and told him people were talking about him having an affair. The wife reacts by writing a letter to the woman which Ray then delivers to the CEO to give to the woman. Sounds like common sense to me.

freethinker – there are many of us who would like to know what new facts emerged, or how the review team came to the conclusion that they had erred in the first draft, which definitely exists – Ryall has already quoted from in twice, and the Dom-Post has a copy but is gagged. Why did the review team say that they came under no pressure to reach a different conclusion?

I note that Cunliffe denies there was another report in the context of Tony Ryalls quote. So why an injunction to prevent its publication? Either Cunliffe is lying or Ryall is inventing, most likely there is an earlier version, hence the injunction so the real question is if as suggested the draft reports conclusions were wrong what new facts emerged to cause a change in conclusion. Perhaps Tony Ryall will ask these questions.

This saga reveals the extent to which health services are contracted out and some of these contracts almost seem to qualify as PPP’s. Privatisation by stealth. It’s wrong to do this locally, inefficient for a start, and open to corruption/manipulation. These should be negotiated at a national level.

“Hon DAVID CUNLIFFE: The member should be very careful what he wishes for, because I imagine that some of my colleagues will be interested to talk about other things that are not in that report

So the dim-bulb Cunliffe (silent “T”) seems to be covering up for more than just King, Lind & Hausmann. Surely this reply indicates that there is a lot more to this story and a full inquiry is absolutely essential.

Look I don’t give a toss if the entire x-board end up in court with multiple charges of corrupt practice, the important thing is that currently we can have no confidence in the administration of public money. Clearly (from how this question was answered) the minister is covering more asses than just his Labour colleagues. This is simply not good enough.

Best question of the day:

“Hon Tony Ryall: Does the Minister not realise that what the public want to know is not what is in the report but what is not in the report and why, because, just like the Ingram report, this report is yet another Labour diversion from the murky dealings of its own cronies; and is that not the reason why the Auditor-General should provide a full and independent inquiry into this matter?”

And Cunliffe’s threatening reply – very revealing!!

“Hon DAVID CUNLIFFE: The member should be very careful what he wishes for, because I imagine that some of my colleagues will be interested to talk about other things that are not in that report, and that member will look like he is clutching at rather crooked straws.”

Tax payer kiwi ; Yes I agree the way forward is a country without political corruption and that is why I helped file a High Court Injunction today. It was rather expensive but worth it . I was very busy and thankful for the loan of the computer between legal arguments.

Haha, anybody see how nervous King was and how pathetic Cunliffe was in the house of horrors today on the TV One News.
Guilty as sin.

Did King appoint Hausmen because that was the best option for the board, or the best option for her husband?

I don’t think “don’t be so bloody stupid” comes to mind for people that think they are (and apparently they are) untouchable.

What is most concerning is that Labour MP’s think they are above the law and that they need not concern themselves with either the legal (governance) issues or the consequences of their actions.

I guess the best we can hope for is for King to tell Clark she might stand as an independent. Then the police will be given the all clear to investigate.
