PM must release Cabinet Office advice on Jones issue
The Prime Minister must release advice given by
the Cabinet Office to Shane Jones regarding his conflict of
interest, says the New Zealand Taxpayers’
Union.
Taxpayers’ Union spokesman
Louis Houlbrooke says “If, as the Prime Minister said in
today’s post-Cabinet press conference, Cabinet Office
advice led Mr Jones to attend a Provincial Growth Fund
decision meeting despite his acknowledgement of a conflict
of interest, that advice must be released. The public
deserve to see whether Mr Jones followed the advice directly
or whether it was effectively
ignored.”
