> Hi, my comments to the reporter yesterday were along the lines of breakdowns in the relations between some departments and MFEM. I suggested that the latest ‘incident’ with Pat was an opportune time for everyone to step back and examine the way they deal with each other - on both sides. MFEM is a
> key entity for everyone so it pays to have good relations. I think it’s unfortunate that some people feel it’s more of a battle rather than a close working relationship. These are my views. Regards, Trev.

> Dear Mr Ivaiti,

> I’m a reporter with Radio New Zealand International.
> I interviewed Trevor Pitt this morning regarding the incident with Patrick Tasker last week.
> Mr Pitt suggests that although the public nature of the incident is unfortunate, it perhaps highlights some problems within Treasury.
> We would very much like your response to this comment and also to Mr Tasker’s suggestion that traffic fine funds go directly to the police.
> Could I kindly request five minutes of your time at your earliest
