Cullen does not get it

Michael Cullen is missing the point about his release of the Treasury update:

But Dr Cullen last night defended his action, saying he released the paper because Prime Minister-designate John Key, after his briefing from Treasury, was “pretending everything is all right with the world”.

It doesn’t matter what Cullen thinks is the justification. His job is to do what the incoming Government wants until they are sworn in. He was there in 1984 and should know better.
