Finally someone admits to at least one of National's wrongs.
Sold off too many state houses.

Looks like National are going for the dirty campaign option.
Michelle Boag gives the covid people details to Hammish Walker so he can leak them to the media.
I hope he gets prosecuted and even jailed - shameful.
This is the same man who made the racist comments.
Says he gave the details to the media to "expose the government's shortcomings so they would be rectified" - taking lessons from Woodhouse.

Boag could just as easily leaked them to the media if that was her intent.
The question is....how did she get the info?

Michelle Boag was given it in her capacity as CEO of a Health Rescue organisation, i.e. Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.
Vital these first responders who often have to provide immediate medical aid to patients are aware if the patient should be in isolation or quarantine, plus necessity to deep clean the helicopter & isolate the pilot & responders if that happened.
No good either delivering a potentially Covid infected patient straight into hospital's A&E dept exposing all to risk of infection.
Why didn't she leak it herself? Pretty easy to work that out.

She could have and this raises a question.
For a start she got the information in her role as acting chief executive of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust so that look legit.
She then sent it to Walker - why would she do that?
She says that she didn't expect him to release it to the presss but what legitimate reason would there be to give it to him anyway.
Very dirty.

Stern action being taken against both - compare and contrast how Comrade Cindy's team of incompetents get chances after chances when they screw up.

Stern action - don't make me laugh.
Walker has his useless portfolios taken off him.
At least Boag did the right think and quit.
A nasty game that National is playing.

The errant politicos were all exponents of the surprisingly common philosophy that when you’re in a hole, the only sensible course is vigorous further excavation in the hope of tunnelling your way out. ...
This only ever ends with the hole being filled in by others from a great height with you in it, as the likes of Jami-Lee Ross, Todd Barclay, Clare Curran and now National MP Hamish Walker have found out.
Walker’s leaking of the names of covid patients to the media was simply the most novel of the week’s pratfalls, with the biggest collateral damage.
It’s not often a first-term MP manages to get both a party kuia like Michelle Boag, and their own leader into the hole digging alongside them, with the bonus possibility of knocking precious points off the polls going into an election campaign.
And I love the imagery here
The long-time public relations maven bestrides the party as a sort of Boaganvillea – a brightly-plumed climber, extensively branched and with many sharp thorns.
Her lack of judgement in on-leaking this data to Walker is gob-smacking for such a seasoned operator.
Seldom has a party deity so drastically forfeited decades of influence

..and now with Woodhouse, we have two MPs to whom she leaked the information. (Do we have three?) It is not surprising Muller claimed that he did not ask his caucus who had received the information. He could put on a front of channelling Private Shulz and say “I know nothing!”
However if Boag helped steer the Rescue Trust helicopter base to Ardmore, then hats off for that?

Thats is very funny and witty.How could this "kuia" get much stupida".. So much for having a robust opposition party keeping the Govt to account they cant even account for themselves! I guess we will just have to unrely on unbalanced.
