As co chair of Freeman’s Bay Residents Association I had cause to email the minister om a similiar issue. From his reply it was apparent to me he has a weak grasp the relevant legislation and has a tendency to be inventive with both the law and facts for his own political agenda.
When called out on such behavior he simply chose not to reply. Personally, I have decided lack the level of integrity expected of elected officials. However, he seems content to be the PM’s lacky.
Odd behaviour and so unnecessary. I suspect there is more than a touch of the S.I. ‘Auckland hating’ redneck in play. However not very ministerial.
