Labour lies: Fail on the cover-up

Russell got a report back two weeks ago and had a meeting with Foon where he explained himself.

She'd been sitting on it, but says her preliminary view was his actions were serious enough to warrant removal. He beat her to it jumping before he was pushed.

But somewhat puzzlingly is that at the same time that the Prime Minister's Office was confirming he had resigned, Foon himself text Newshub saying he hadn't.

Newshub has now received a more fulsome statement from Foon saying he informed the Prime Minister he'd be resigning this Sunday. 

He told Newshub he strongly refutes that he didn't declare his conflict of interest. He said he told the Ministry of Justice and the Human Rights Commission before he took up his role.

The Human Rights Commission has given him a glowing review on the way out, with Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt as a "man of the people"  who made an "unfortunate mistake". 

As was noticed early on when first released last night, the numpties at Labour HQ cannot even get their lies straight to spin to the masses.  Kiri Allan who remains at the centre of this and is apparently yet to be fully exposed had the audacity to do a Sgt Schultz in early commentary.

"an unfortunate mistake"?  More lies, more likely really annoyed that he got caught.  Others in this government, especially the lying core who really run the show behind the scenes should actually be in jail. 

It's always the cover up that ultimately leads to the downfall.
