Families Commission - you're fired!



The Dominion Post came late today. After 5.40am which is when I go to the gate looking for it. So I missed the news that John Key has promised to get rid of the Families Commission.

THANK YOU JOHN

This was ACT policy in 2005 and National have now seen sense and are joining in.

All the Families Commission does is turn out questionable, superfluous, research. I blogged about some of it here.

Looks like Rajen Prasad did something sensible for once and the new head, Jan Pryor, made the right call in keeping her feet in two camps.

Now will Key commit to killing off Kiro's commission?

Update; Oh no. He's retracting it already. For Gods sake, get some balls.

Lindsay, I heard what John Key said yesterday. You didn't. He has not retracted anything as there was nothing to retract. That is the truth.

If he has been misreported Key needs to take it up with the Press Council.

apart from the Maorimander, MMP, stealing National's polices from John Key's office --- and of course buying KFC and coalition partners with Owen Glenn's Money?
