Brian Connell apologises
Rakaia
MP Brian Connell has apologised to the National Party
caucus, and to party leader Don Brash, for comments made
over recent weeks which have been seen as critical of the
leader and the party.
Dr Brash says both he and the caucus
have accepted the apology in the spirit in which it was
given.
"Mr Connell's comments today clear the air and
allow us to move forward as a united caucus, focusing on the
flaws of this already tired and discredited
Government."
Mr Connell says he deeply regrets the way his
comments were interpreted.
"I remain loyal to the National
Party and to Don Brash as leader. I am looking forward to
putting these events behind me and working with my
colleagues to unseat the Clark/Peters Government."
