Oh – John Key and his crocodile tears:
Mr Key says Mr Jones now has to answer, why did he ignore his officials?
“I just can’t answer the question of why he said yes, when the officials told him to say no. He must have some rationale for that but that’s the interesting explanation isn’t it, that’s the $24 million question.”
Exercise for the reader – post links to occasions of Key and the Nats ignoring official advice. Hypocrites.
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

Seems Jones is in trouble for ingnoring his officals.

Key doesn’t give a toss about official ministry advice, sometimes preferring to advise himself instead:

I suppose it depends upon which official advice. Last budget they took Treasuries advice and ignored IRD, they’re now taking treasuries advice and, seemingly, ignoring the advice of the Ministry of Education.
Basically, what it seems is that they take Treasuries advice on everything and ignore the specialist advice from the ministries. This is probably because Treasury and NACT look to the same dysfunctional ideology to measure things through.
Remember, he is only a figurehead. He is there to win votes. Who is the power behind the throne?
What is the 24 million dollar question? Genuine question?
A desperate ‘assassin’ firing recklessly hoping for a hit.
See Armchair below. Key making shit up. AGAIN
Did John’s officials advise him that the figure involved was $24million, or was he going against official advice on how much money was involved? Or just making stuff up? Again.
RoNS, as discussed between Russel Norman and Bill English during question 6 in parliament this afternoon.

The Public Finance Act definition is only an ‘accounting treatment’
Here’s a few that I found in ten minutes with Google. Key has ignored official advice on:
a levy for Sky City
the fire at will bill
the drinking age
synthetic cannibis
broadband
ignored Tresury advice on a capital gains tax and rasing the age of super
they’re also happy to ignore the business community
and economists
and I’m pretty sure they’ve ignored just about any advice they’ve had on the environment, ever.
And isn’t it true English and Key said they had never even sought advice on asset sales from Treasury, that it was a ‘best guess’ ? And then I heard Key a few days ago somewhere on TV saying they were ‘just following Treasury’s advice’ !!
We are in very deep and serious trouble. Even manages to make Muldoon and Birch seem benevolent.
Don’t forget Blinglish mostly ignoring the Savings Working Group’s advice on Kiwisaver:
