Should be getting the third degree not a honorary degree

by Whaleoil on December 9, 2009 · 15 comments

The Uni­ver­sity of Otago has done an out­ra­geous and egre­gious thing. It has given Michael Cullen, the man who said “fuck it” to a Trea­sury offi­cial when asked if he should put the ACC expo­sure in the PREFU, an hon­orary Doc­tor of Laws.

Uni­ver­sity Vice-Chancellor Pro­fes­sor David Skegg says that Dr Cullen’s hon­orary degree recog­nises his con­tri­bu­tions as an Otago aca­d­e­mic and as a respected and highly influ­en­tial politician.”

What a dis­grace, the guy should be serv­ing time for break­ing teh Fis­cal Respon­si­bil­ity Act. Plus the prick lives in Napier Ohope, hardly an Otago aca­d­e­mic anymore.

All Otago alumni should be called to cut dona­tions and sup­port imme­di­ately. I am sure there are many other good causes to give to rather than this school of felch­ing sycophants.

The prick pre­tended to be a lawyer the whole time he was in par­lia­ment and was even the Attor­ney Gen­eral for a time and now he’s get­ting a fake degree.

Well, it’s Dunedin pol­i­tics. He was the local MP until MMP. Then gave his seat to a job­bing mem­ber of the teacher’s union. South Dunedin is like Pap­a­toe­toe, one of those places where you can stand a bor­der col­lie as your can­di­date and if it has a labour rosette, it will be elected.

And many politi­cians and wor­thy peo­ple get them

This treach­er­ous bas­tard isn’t fit to scrub the dog-piss off the foot­paths out­side any rep­utable uni­ver­sity! Otago Uni is a national dis­grace by doing this!

Aca­d­e­mic hon­ours is one thing – they give those hon docs out to all ex pol­lies, don’t they? – but the bloody NZ Insti­tute of Man­age­ment has him as the 2009 Design­works Vision­ary Leader!! Now that’s down­right weird.

Ahh the Prefu. Yes the very inquiry set up by Eng­lish found that Cullen wasnt respon­si­ble for the FU over the prefu. –

How could he , it was writ­ten by trea­sury like all the rest of the bull­shit they put out, but the Trea­sury Sec­re­tary offered his res­ig­na­tion… Well sort of he said we wont do it again… for 2 weeks.

Mean­while the baubles of office glittr for Eng­lish, Hide and the usual ban­dits. The trips , the flow­ers, the cars

Makes the study more worth­while for those who had to earn it the hard way I guess.

I think that Dr Cullen should be con­firmed as a QC .. and I don’t mean Queens Counsel
