Costello’s behaviour is frankly disgraceful - a new low in the historic depths currently being plumbed by this woefully incompetent coalition government. #nzpol
Casey Costello denied it existed. Now she says she does not know who wrote - or even how she got - a tobacco policy document sent to officials.
sadly, jack shit will be done about it, and Lux will say he has 'complete confidence in his minister' as he kicks the starving puppy on the way pastsadly, jack shit will be done about it, and Lux will say he has 'complete confidence in his minister' as he kicks the starving puppy on the way past
Opposition parties need to hammer this until Luxon has no way to wriggle out of it.
Jesus, rotten to the core.
This is a document, which she claims has no known origin. How can she justify or explain how it was appropriate to use it as the basis for a policy she put before the House? It beggars belief. Does she think we are all stupid?
They’re all corrupt. Costello is a woman in the ACT Party… which just means she’s incredibly stupid as well. Why send it out as official information to others IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO WROTE IT? This idiot needs to be taken to court and questioned under oath.
National and the media have crucified Labour and Green MPs for far less. She must resign.
I'm glad Ayesha Verall is chasing Costello down, and not giving up on this. Costellos' surely got to break at some point. She's the newbie with no Parlimentary experience who was picked as the one to rep the tobacco industry perhaps because of her T.U history? Meaning she doesn't grasp standards.
