Key gives lots of answers to
the wrong questions
Prime Minister John Key’s statement refuting conflict of interest allegations has taken the debate precisely nowhere, Labour MP Pete Hodgson said today.
“The central question remains ‘How can John Key prove that he could not see into his own blind trust through viewing Whitechapel Limited’,” Pete Hodgson said.
“Mr Key’s lawyers have not addressed that question.
“Incidentally, their advice in paragraph two would seem to suggest that they have a different view of what is meant by ‘blind trust’ than does the Cabinet Manual in paragraph 2.70(f).
