Volume:696;Page:15841. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]11.Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) to thePrime Minister: Is the Hon Peter Dunne a suitable person to hold the position answerable in this House for the security of information held by Government in light of him repeatedly declining to deny in the House yesterday that he made the draft Kitteridge report available to a Fairfax reporter and if so has he received an assurance from Mr Dunne that he did not make the document available to any reporter?Rt Hon JOHN KEY (Prime Minister): Yes and no.Hon Trevor Mallard: Is he the Minister responsible to this House for commissioning the Kitteridge report into theGovernment Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) the Henry report into how that report was made available to a Fairfax reporter and the reinstatement of the Hon Peter Dunne to his ministry?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: Yes.Hon Trevor Mallard: Has he since he received the Henry report received any further information that has helped him to identify the source of the leak of the Kitteridge report into the GCSB?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: No.Hon Trevor Mallard: What if anything has changed with regard to who made the Kitteridge report available since he said on 7 June that he could not accept Mr Dunne’s assurances that he did not leak the draft Kitteridge report?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: What is true is that I accepted Mr Dunne’s resignation because he failed to comply with the inquiry. What I have also done as I have said to the House before is accepted Mr Dunne’s assurances that he has categorically ruled out playing any part in leaking the report. Another way of saying that would be “I’ve moved on.”—and do not worry Trevor one day David will move on when it comes to you as well.Hon Trevor Mallard: Does he stand by his statement in relation to the Henry report that there is only one conclusion you can take from reading the report; if so does he still believe that Mr Dunne is the person most likely to have made the draft Kitteridge report available to a Fairfax reporter?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: In relation to the first part of the question yes. In relation to the second part of the question I accept Mr Dunne’s assurances.Rt Hon Winston Peters: In respect of the Prime Minister’s answer to the second part of the primary question which was “has he received an assurance from Mr Dunne that he did not make the document available to any reporter?” to which he said no preparatory to the reappointment of Mr Dunne did he ask Mr Dunne for his assurance that he did not leak the Kitteridge report?Rt Hon JOHN KEY: No because I accepted him at his word just as I am sure I will accept that member’s word that he did not discuss untoward things when he went to the Dotcom mansion three times.Rt Hon Winston Peters: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. You have tended to be rather strict about people keeping to the point of the question and not going on for too long. The Prime Minister gets up demonstrates what a hopeless leader he is and then begins to criticise the questioner whereupon you should have shot to your feet consistently to rule that he was out of order.Mr SPEAKER: I thank the member for his input today but on this occasion the question was a bit more convoluted than that. The Prime Minister certainly answered the question but added something that did not help the order of this House.
