Translated:
Please note that the committee has decided not to invite an oral submission from you. Your written submission will be filed in a document handed to the committee, none of them will bother to read it and it will not affect the committee’s examination of the bill. Know your place plebeian.
Astounding – but sadly we have become accustomed to this sort of behavior from this so called government.
This government? It was Key that got us into this mess. It was Key and his caucus that sent Sharples to New York.
Key also did the open Bank Resolution.
Dont think that by voting Luxon all will be right.
