Parliament 11 February 2009

Question One and Goff is wasting it on attacking the Government for wanting accountability from the Otago District Health Board over the $17 million fraud. They must think this is the equivalent of the Hawkes Bay DHB issue, but I think they will find less public sympathy for a Board that has such lax systems the fraud continued for so many years.

Oh Q3 was fun – Labour were asking why Bill Englih did not release the Treasury incoming briefing earlier, and he replied:

The Labour Party complaining about compliance with the OIA is like Jack the Ripper complaining about community violence.

Heh.
