The Hypocrisy of Mr McCully: the MFAT cuts

He tells us that the proposed loss of 200 jobs in MFAT will be be scrutinised carefully to ensure that NZ's international interests are not compromised. He does so as if Mr Allen is making the cuts, and Mr McCully is the guardian of the service. Of course, it is the reverse. Mr Allen is the CEO told to make cuts by the Key government and his minister, Mr McCully. The cuts are de facto made by Mr McCully and Mr English. It is a classic case of telling the big lie, and, simultaneously, shifting the blame for one's own actions elsewhere in that most cowardly of manners.
