One Down, How Many More To Go?

SSC boss Mark Prebble is to finish up in June. Some more diplomatic than The Hive are saying nice things about his contribution. We cannot bring ourselves to do the same. We will never forgive the role played by Prebble while CEO of the Pm's Department in giving, first Jenny Shipley, then Helen Clark, bum advice on the US FTA. We believe that he personally scuppered the chances of us getting a negotiation started. Our sources on this are impeccable. Clinton was lined up to say yes, but Prebble told Shipley not to ask - "he might say no". And then with early Bush, we know that the phone call with the White House was set up, and then he advised Sutton's office to cancel the call.

His role as SSC boss has been less than impressive also.

How many other CEOs are going to do the honourable thing?
