National on Mark Prebble’s resignation
National Party State Services spokesman Gerry Brownlee says the National Party acknowledges the long career of public
service by State Services Commissioner Mark Prebble who announced his resignation today.
“Dr Prebble has many years service as a devoted public servant and we wish him well as he deals with his health issues.
“The last few years have been extremely difficult for the public service as it has come under increasing pressure to run
the Labour Party’s political agenda.
“This culture has come from the Cabinet, and Dr Prebble has walked a difficult path, but that in no way diminishes his
achievements as a loyal and long-time public servant under both National and Labour-led Governments.”
