Key lacks leadership
The inevitable resignation of Dr Richard Worth has occurred several months too late, Labour Leader Phil Goff said today.
“The Prime Minister had ample reason to sack his Minister months ago but lacked the necessary leadership to do so,” Phil Goff said.
“The resignation of a minister is a very serious matter and it is incumbent on John Key to explain to the public why this has occurred.
“It is completely unsustainable for John Key to say that resignation from a high public office is for a secret or undisclosed reason unless there are personal family matters behind Dr Worth’s agreement to resign.” Phil Goff said.
