Grant Duncan: Political commentator says actions of Wood and Tinetti probably won't be bad enough to end their political careers
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
The actions of Michael Wood and Jan Tinetti probably won't be bad enough to end their political careers. Tinetti goes before the Privileges Committee today, accused of misleading the House about school attendance figures. And the Opposition is calling for Wood to resign or be fired, after revelations he was told to sell his Auckland Airport shares no fewer than 12 separate times. Massey University political commentator Grant Duncan told Kate Hawkesby Tinetti will probably be asked to apologise, while he doubts Wood's actions are a sackable offence. He says the rules aren't set in stone, as the Cabinet Manual is fairly open about what is a conflict of interest and what isn't. Wood says he's remorseful but has no plans to resign.
