Labour snitch running Comms courses now

The Labour Party snitch in Ministerial Services, Simon Pleasants, who is the prime suspect in feeding Pete Hodgson and Trevor Mallard details about Ministerial Housing details is also running communications courses.

That’s right the former Helen Clark staffer who seems to have conned MinServices into a prime job where he has access to all the alarm codes, security arrangements and housing detail of Ministers seems to be also running courses in how to get what you want with communications.

He recently sent out this email;

Do you want recipients of your emails to do stuff, think stuff, or know stuff?

If so, this quick-smart 1-hour session is for you. It will
·         cover the essentials of using email to persuade, influence, and inform.
·         offer solutions to some of the challenges you may be facing

Presenter: Simon Pleasants currently manages the Ministerial Property portfolio. He has a ten-year background in internal and external communications, specialising in online communications.

Venue: Level 18, Bowen House
Date: Friday 30 October 2009
Time: 10am

Hilarious, this from a guy who is highly suspected to be an author at he Standard, a snitch, friend and confidante of Pete Hodgson and Trevor Mallard and littered the web with all his incriminating tweets and facebook postings (he has deleted his profile on Grassroots Labour, guilty actions if you ask me), I’m astonished he has the gall to put himself forward to do a session for Parliamentary staff on “What happens after you hit send?”

Isn’t it interesting that the Bill English stuff all started coming to the fore after this tweet about a new job? For someone who professes to be an expert in social media he sure has locked down all his socmedia sites like Facebook, Labour Grassroots etc.

    Keep up that digging Whale, your site is well read. This guy should never have been appointed.

    I suppose that being the careful boy you are you've kept copies of all the deleted stuff! heh. Silly question really.

    Does he run a course for cleaners , where they can do the whole house in under 120 min flat!

    How can a parliamentary staffer freelance their services and receive a payment? Isn't that against the Civil Service Code?

  • Naylor

    What's the point of having highly paid spin doctors and communications advisers then? Fuck this Labour supporter right back to the bowls of hell that he has come from. If he wants to position himself as some form of spin doctor then he should pack his bags and go and work for an MP as a press sec.

    SHAME ON HIM.

    Since Bowen House is where he works, the obvious thing is that its course run for public servants. Writing emails, Im sure the public service does plenty of them
