Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law - unless you are Our Dear Leader
Make
NO mistake about it. We live in a democracy in name only. Every
aspect of civil society that is supposed to protect the populace
from abuse of power by the executive is compromised – from the
police, through the public service, right down to the judiciary.
That my friends, equates to fascism.
Key
cleared over deleting texts
The
Chief Archivist has found Prime Minister John Key had not been
advised of his full responsibilities about keeping public records
before deleting text messages
15
September, 2015
In
November last year, the Green Party asked the Chief Archivist to look
into whether Mr Key was destroying public records after he revealed
he deleted all of his text messages.
At
the time, Green Party MP James Shaw said this could be in breach of
the Public Records Act, as texts on a ministerial phone were official
correspondence.
Chief
Archivist Marilyn Little today released her report, which focused on
whether Mr Key had appropriate advice and support.
She
found he was not advised of his full responsibilities under the
Public Records Act, and the advice provided to all ministers was
inadequate.
She
has made recommendations to improve record keeping and support for
ministers and said much of that work was already underway.

ReplyDeleteUtterly pathetic..
ReplyDeletePenny Bright unarguably knows more about ministerial responsibility and the rule of the law
than Key and the whole darn cabinet.
The dreadful thing so many dont seem to realise is that so many of these so called independent watchdogs are TOOTHLESS, and the terms of reference they use are deliberately useless!
