    Every senior public servant should have learned that if you disagree with your minister you need to develop a well supported argument that will convince a politician (unlike convincing a businessman who are generally much more competent).
    He failed to do that and went public - he has only himself to blame and we are well rid.

    There is no indication that the Minister agreed or disagreed with Rob >Campbell - it is clear he disagreed with Campbell's expression of his
    view in public on an issue where there is political disagreement. We
    can guesss that the Minister may well have agreed with the substance
    of Campbell's statement, but that is not the point of the reason he
    was sacked, or of your misunderstanding.
    I did not say otherwise so why are you trying to distract?

    The article includes for example: "However, Health Minister Ayesha
    Verrall said she was “deeply committed” to the Maori Health
    Authority’s success. “The Government created Te Aka Whai Ora because
    of our commitment to Maori participation at the highest level of
    health decision making.”
    Off topic

    and
    "Campbell was sacked from both jobs after publicly criticising the
    National Party’s policy on Three Waters. He described the policy, in a
    post on LinkedIn, as a “thinly disguised dog whistle on
    co-governance”.
    Off topic

    Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said Campbell’s comments fell “well
    outside” the expectations of public service leaders, given the
    requirement that they remain politically impartial. Earlier, Hipkins
    said Campbell had been fired purely because he’d broken rules about
    political impartiality – not because of his views on co-governance."
    Which is why he was finally sacked, duh!

    Now many people may agree with Rob Cameron's assesment of the National >Party's policy - it is clear that National has moved away from the
    policies of the Key/English governments and does not wish to work with
    Maori on issues such as water; but it has been determined that he
    should not have given that opinion in public when he held the roles he
    did. Labour have acted absolutely correctly. The fool in this case is
    clearly Cameron, closely followed by you Tony for your total
    misreading of the article.
    Totally off topic.
    His opinion of National's policy was not his to publish publicly, he was not permitted to (so he got fired - excellent!) - why can you not follow that simple logic?

    Campbell breached the rules Rich. No matter how many lies and distractions you post it comes down to Campbell either thinking the rules didn't apply to him. Or that he wasn't happy in the jobs and wanted to get sacked! Nothing else matters or is of

    What happens with water continues to be of great importance to most
    New Zealanders. Campbell summarised the pathetic policies of National
    well. That he got sacked for saying it is a fact on whuch we can all
    agree - that his assessment of National was also correct is what we
    have left to contemplate. It is called moving on, John Bowes, but I
    understand why you do not want to face up to the failure of Luxon in
    this area . . .

    The words are still there above: "Every senior public servant should

    (unlike convincing a businessman who are generally much more

    That is what I am referring to.

    There is no indication that Campbell disagreed at all with his
    Ministers in relation to desirable policy, or indeed that they
    disagreed with the personal opinion that he expressed. His fault was
    in expressing that personal opinion in public.

    I accept that other posters to nz.general do not agree with his
    personal opinion; many believe that it is absolutely correct.



    The article includes for example: "However, Health Minister Ayesha
    Verrall said she was “deeply committed” to the Maori Health
    Authority’s success. “The Government created Te Aka Whai Ora because

    Very much on topic - it indicates that the government does not suffer
    any divisions on these issues.


    and
    "Campbell was sacked from both jobs after publicly criticising the
    National Party’s policy on Three Waters. He described the policy, in a
    post on LinkedIn, as a “thinly disguised dog whistle on
    co-governance”.

    No, it is a record of the personal opinion which he expressed. This
    thread is the first suggestion that there was any disagreement within government, or between government and key advisers - the fool in hte
    Subject of the thread is therefore the initial poster - that would be
    you, Tony.



    Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said Campbell’s comments fell “well
    outside” the expectations of public service leaders, given the
    requirement that they remain politically impartial. Earlier, Hipkins
    said Campbell had been fired purely because he’d broken rules about >>political impartiality – not because of his views on co-governance."
    Which is why he was finally sacked, duh!
    Indeed he was sacked for expressing the obvious - that the Opposition
    has bad policies - we know that, but the head of a crown entity should
    not express such disagreement publicly.


    Now many people may agree with Rob Cameron's assesment of the National >>Party's policy - it is clear that National has moved away from the
    policies of the Key/English governments and does not wish to work with >>Maori on issues such as water; but it has been determined that he

    Totally off topic.
    Yet again you use a spurious argument to try and avoid material you do
    not like or would rather thad not been said. The comments that were
    made by Campbell, and that he should not have said, are true and
    correct, and what is more you know that National have botched this one
    as they have so many other things. Off topic? No, they indicate why
    you Tony are yet again 'protesting too much', in the hope of avoiding
    reality.


    His opinion of National's policy was not his to publish publicly, he was not >permitted to (so he got fired - excellent!) - why can you not follow that >simple logic?

    No, it is a record of the personal opinion which he expressed. This

    Indeed he was sacked for expressing the obvious - that the Opposition

    not express such disagreement publicly.

    Totally off topic.
    Yet again you use a spurious argument to try and avoid material you do
    not like or would rather thad not been said. The comments that were
    made by Campbell, and that he should not have said, are true and
    correct, and what is more you know that National have botched this one
    as they have so many other things. Off topic? No, they indicate why
    you Tony are yet again 'protesting too much', in the hope of avoiding >reality.


    His opinion of National's policy was not his to publish publicly, he was not
    permitted to (so he got fired - excellent!) - why can you not follow that >>simple logic?

    Campbell seems to find it difficult to accept that it was not what he
    said that was the problem - it was that he said it, having
    (presumably) signed up the Code of Conduct for Crown Entity Board
    Members. This explicitly requires political neutrality which he
    violated by publishing his views (whatever they may have been).

    There is no indication that the Minister agreed or disagreed with Rob >>> >> Campbell - it is clear he disagreed with Campbell's expression of his >>> >> view in public on an issue where there is political disagreement. We
    can guesss that the Minister may well have agreed with the substance

    was sacked, or of your misunderstanding.

    Campbell breached the rules Rich. No matter how many lies and distractions you post it comes down to Campbell either thinking the rules didn't apply to him. Or that he wasn't happy in the jobs and wanted to get sacked! Nothing else matters or is of
    importance and it's definite that none of your lies or distractions will get the right decision reversed!

    The article includes for example: "However, Health Minister Ayesha
    Verrall said she was “deeply committed” to the Maori Health
    Authority’s success. “The Government created Te Aka Whai Ora because >>> >> of our commitment to Maori participation at the highest level of
    health decision making.”

    So what?!


    and
    "Campbell was sacked from both jobs after publicly criticising the
    National Party’s policy on Three Waters. He described the policy, in a >>> >> post on LinkedIn, as a “thinly disguised dog whistle on

    He broke the rules and suffered the consequences!

    Sso why are you pointing out that campbell was way out of line? Stupidity or just typical of fucking imbeciles like you Rich?!

    So what? It doesn't make any difference wether Campbell was telling the truth or just being a typical lefty loon like you and spouting utter crap. HE_BROKE_THE_FUCKING_RULES!!! He left those who appointed him no choice if they wanted to restore the
    distrust the country has in Labour...
    What happens with water continues to be of great importance to most
    New Zealanders. Campbell summarised the pathetic policies of National
    well. That he got sacked for saying it is a fact on whuch we can all
    agree - that his assessment of National was also correct is what we
    have left to contemplate. It is called moving on, John Bowes, but I
    understand why you do not want to face up to the failure of Luxon in
    this area . . .

    Once again you talk shit in defence of what has to be the most unpopular and stupid pipe dream from Labour. Doesn't make any difference whether Campbell told the unvarnished truth or not. He fucked up and broke one of the most important rules in the
    position he held and suffered the consequences. Hell considering your stupidity Rich I'm forced to wonder if you may in fact be Campbell you're both as imbecilic as each other. It may be a requirement for fanatical supporters of Labour and the left like
    you Rich...

    I consider it significant that you appear to accept that Campbell's
    comments were essentially corrrect, just that he should not have said
    them.

    No, as Crash pointed out so very well, Campbell could have uttered any of
    the spiel from the Labour side of the spectrum amd he would still have been
    not honouring the pledge he made, to be poltically netural.

    The there are some things (a great deal many) of which carry on regardless
    who is in power. eg Health, Law and order, Education, Tax, etc. No matter
    what their poltical views are they want stability. The only way to obtain
    this, as much as possible, is for the people in power, outside the House, is
    to be seen as netural. One way to help in this is to not do or say anything
    in public which could be seen as being politcally bias.

    The public expects this an as they are paying for it, they should have it without question.

    (Sorry all that is obvious but there are times when I have to try and
    explain it to Rich)
