Curran’s emails an ongoing issue

Clare Curran resigned as a minister last week, but issues remain and look like continuing to receive attention.

Andrew Geddis (@acgeddis):

Re Claire Curran’s gmails … I think people are barking up the wrong legal tree. The question isn’t direct application of the OIA, but rather whether she complied with the Public Records Act 2005. Obligations under that legislation don’t end with her resignation.

If she didn’t so comply, then the Chief Archivist can direct Curran to properly record emails that are “public records” … whereupon they will become “official information” that can be accessed.

Now that Curran will no longer be subject to ministerial scrutiny at Question Time in Parliament, attention may switch to Jacinda Ardern and her handling of the Curran failures.

      Well we have found someone who has been caught being devious (twice) happy to use Gmail rather than her official account, has had a bit of a public breakdown, and who the Speaker of the House has (how can I put this nicely) had a relationship and has been quick to protect.
      No need to look for anyone else, unless you have a better suspect?

          I think it’s creepy; why hasn’t the issue of a Chinese spy-trainer in our Parliament been addressed???????? If the Labour Party had such a figure embedded into it’s caucus, ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE!!!
