Phil Goff has issued a press release accusing the head of the SIS, Dr Warren Tucker of lying.
“I will not stand by and have my credibility questioned over this issue. In future, I will only meet with Warren Tucker or representatives of the SIS if there is someone independent in the room to keep a true and accurate record of what is discussed.”
Phil Goff has a history of lying. He has been caught pants down again and instead of admitting he was wrong he has decided to attack a civil servant and that civil servants integrity. Dr. Warren Tucker serves New Zealand not the National party or any other party.
So a top civil servant who discharged his duties professionally throughout the entire Clark government is now bailed up as untrustworthy by the new Labour leader, and a leading light of the old Clark govt.
