That is clever. But all's fair in love and war.
The report takes in important matters that go far beyond the merely partisan - such as press freedom, privacy, and the role of the Speaker and the "mystifying" failure of his officials to tell him of the demands being made by the Henry inquiry for access to the communication records of ministers plus a lone journalist.
The Greens' Russel Norman even cited the actions of the Henry inquiry to resurrect his absurd claim that Key is "Muldoonist" in his "abuse of power".
Were Sir Robert Muldoon still in charge, however, it is unlikely the comedy of errors surrounding the leak would still be playing six months after the event.
Sure, Henry did not stand on ceremony. But he got a result - or something so close to one that it makes no difference.
You can probably count the number of people who believe Peter Dunne did not leak the Kitteridge report on the fingers of one hand.
The same people also believe the moon is made of cheese and you will find fairies at the bottom of your garden.
It is both audacious and outrageous for Dunne to claim the Privileges Committee report vindicates him.
Dunne was not sacked as a minister solely because he refused to hand over emails and phone records to Henry. He was fired because Key had made it very clear that he expected all ministers and their staff to fully co-operate with the Henry inquiry when the terms of reference were announced.
Key had no choice but to ask for Dunne's resignation. Paradoxically, Key may be using the Privileges Committee's report as cover for reinstating Dunne into his old ministerial post outside the Cabinet. Funny old business, politics.
