Didn’t choose words well?

By / 5 August 2008

No, I’d say Bill English certainly didn’t. More importantly, he got taped not choosing his words well. I guess it’s all a matter of putting “I” “Care” “Don’t” and “sell off KiwiBank” in the right order.

“With respect to Kiwibank, I shouldn’t have made the comments I made. National has had no discussions about Kiwibank and has no plans to sell it,” he said.

That doesn’t mean they won’t have plans once they have had discussions. Avoiding having discussions, as the church knows well, means one doesn’t have to make a decision nor declare a position!

The NZ Herald have some coverage.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
