Crikey, I barely stepped away from the microphone yesterday and we had a double whammy news-wise. Phil Goff sacked as High Commissioner to London for an intemperate comment and question, Greg Foran resigning as Air New Zealand CEO. I heard someone on The Huddle with Ryan Bridge last night saying Greg Foran can now become the High Commissioner, Adrian Orr would become Air New Zealand CEO, and Phil Goff will take over as Reserve Bank Governor - all change. Boy, will Phil Goff be kicking himself all the way back to New Zealand, all the way back to the farm at Clevedon. You are on the pig's back when you get a gig like that – it is a sweet deal. And one intemperate comment ... I think he was just trying to be a bit too clever, showing he's done his homework, showing that he was well read, making appointed remark about somebody the world regards as a graceless buffoon (well, members of Phil Goff's world regard as a graceless buffoon), and he loses his gig, and rightly so. He was asking a question of the Finnish Foreign Affairs Minister at a Chatham House event in London. Goff said he'd been rereading a speech by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill after the Munich Agreement. “He turned to Chamberlain, he said ‘You had the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, yet you will have a war',” Goff then said “President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?” So Phil Goff was making it well researched, clever-dick, pointed remark about the American president. What on Earth did he think was going to happen? He was stripped of his position immediately by Winston Peters. The Foreign Affairs Minister said Phil Goff's comments were deeply disappointing. They did not represent the views of the New Zealand Government and made his position as High Commissioner to London untenable. So a number of comments around that. Phil Goff was sacked by Winston Peters immediately. Winston Peters did not have to consult the Prime Minister before doing so – there was no need for him to consult. He was presented with a problem in his own department, and he dealt with it in the appropriate fashion. That's why you have managers, that's why you have ministers. Everything doesn't filter up to the CEO. Imagine in your own organisation if every single decision in your department had to go to the CEO. Why have a dog and bark yourself? So there was no need to consult. Was he sacked because the Government's sucking up, particularly to Donald Trump in the US? No. As Winston Peters pointed out yesterday, and as numerous foreign affairs experts have concurred, Phil Goff would have been sacked if he had made the comment of any foreign leader. When you're in a diplomatic role, you have to be diplomatic, and that wasn't. And what about the Chatham House rules? Chatham House is an actual place where people congregate to debate, discuss ideas primarily around foreign policy, but also about other things. It's a meeting place for pointy heads where they can float and toss ideas around, and they don't have to worry about it being attributable back to them. The rules say when a meeting or part thereof is held under the Chatham House rules, participants are free to use the information received but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers, nor that of any other participant, may be revealed. So Chatham House rules guarantee people can speak freely within the walls. But in this case, the Chatham House rules had not been invoked because it was being live streamed, so you're not going to be able to shield the identity of the speakers because it's being live streamed. So that's why the comments became public, despite the fact they were in Chatham House – oh irony of ironies. The rules have to be invoked. They weren't, and apparently, according to Chatham House, it's not terribly often that they are. So there we go. That's what happened. He stuffed up royally and he's paid the price. And nobody will be more disappointed, I imagine, than Phil Goff except Mrs Goff because that would have been a lovely reward for a long period of time being an uxorious, fabulous support. Being a politician's partner or spouse would not be an easy gig. So you get the cushy number in London, feet up, gorgeous little holidays popping off around Europe. Now back to the farm in Clevedon, tail between the legs. Back on the ride on mower, no gardener for you anymore. He's had his punishment. He's heading home and Winston Peters did exactly the right thing. Ten out of ten for the Foreign Affairs Minister. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's support for the Foreign Affairs Minister sacking Phil Goff as High Commissioner to the UK. Goff questioned President Donald Trump's understanding of history at a public Chatham House event. Winston Peters says that's ultimately made his position as High Commissioner untenable. Former New Zealand Consul-General to LA, Maurice Williamson, says diplomats are clearly warned not to convey personal views. "It wouldn't matter if you were talking about Japan or China or anything - that's the role of a diplomat, you're there to represent the Government's views."

Winston Peters had no option when it came to sacking Phil Goff from his job as High Commissioner in London, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it. I think he's done the right thing. But he's done the wrong thing, as well. Because it just shows how scaredy-cat the world is of Donald Trump. But we better get used to it – this is how it's going to be for the next four years. That's why I accept that it needed to be done, but it's still pretty cruddy that we are running scared of him like this. What Goff did was he let the political nerd in him come out when he was at an event at Chatham House, in London, earlier this week. And it looked like it was some sort of Q&A session involving Finland's Foreign Affairs Minister. The significance of Finland, of course, is that it shares a border with Russia. So Phil Goff had the roving microphone, and he asked Elina Valtonen whether she thought Donald Trump understood the history of the second world war. That's because people are likening what Trump is doing with Ukraine to what happened in 1938, when Nazi Germany was allowed to get its hands on land in Czechoslovakia in a bid to avoid war. It was a deal signed in 1938, but, as we know, a year later Germany still went to war. Phil Goff isn't the first person to say it. And on the face of it, it doesn't seem that outrageous, but in diplomatic circles, it was probably enough to have them spilling their G&Ts. And it was certainly enough for Foreign Minister Winston Peters to tell his people in London to give Phil Goff the flick. Winston Peters says the reason he did it was because Goff's comments “do not represent the views of the New Zealand government and make his position as High Commissioner to London untenable.” And former High Commissioner Sir Lockwood Smith agrees. He's in no doubt that Winston Peters has done the right thing to minimise any damage. Phil Goff was due to finish his posting later this year, but that could have been extended, of course. But he's over there right now and all the diplomatic crew will be chattering. So it will be very embarrassing for Goff. Not the way he would've wanted to go out. Especially, given that as far as I'm aware, it's the first time New Zealand has sacked a High Commissioner. Yes, he was being a bit of a smart-alec, something you're not supposed to be when you move around in diplomatic circles. Which is a tension that Sir Lockwood talked about when he was on Newstalk ZB this morning. He was saying that when you've been a politician, it can sometimes be difficult to take your political hat off. But he reckons that his time as speaker before being a High Commissioner helped prepare him for that. Maybe that's why we're not hearing about former speaker Trevor Mallard putting his foot in it over in Ireland, where he's High Commissioner. But perhaps Phil Goff can take some comfort from Dr Stephen Winter, who is an international relations expert at Auckland University. He's says if things weren't so on edge around the world, Goff might have got away with it. He says: "Goff can take comfort from the fact that he is right, even though he was not diplomatic.” But things are on edge, and Goff is off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Already, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is looking ahead to whenever a ceasefire might happen in Ukraine and has said that, if or when it does, he'd be happy to send troops in to keep the peace. It was too early for PM Christopher Luxon to confirm the Government's interest in sending troops to Ukraine once there's a ceasefire during his regular appearance on the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning. Christopher Luxon says he'd be open to it. But, despite the New Zealand military's record of peacekeeping around the world, I hope we don't get involved in Ukraine. I know that with Britain talking about peacekeeping already, they'll be on the blower to Wellington at some point wanting us to join in. Just like they were last year about sending military personnel to help protect freight shipping in the Red Sea. You'll remember how we said, “yep no problem” and six of our soldiers went off to try and put the Houthi militia in its place. And, as I said at the time, I got what the Prime Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister, and the Defence Minister meant when they said it was about New Zealand doing its bit. I still didn't agree with it, though. Which was based on previous experience. Essentially, when you get involved in a major military undertaking, you have no idea when it's going to end. The patrols in the Red Sea. Who knows when they're going to end? And who knows when any peacekeeping commitment in Ukraine would end? What's more, Europe is flooded with military capacity. There is no shortage. And there will be no shortage of countries willing to join Britain in Ukraine when the war ends and when peacekeeping support is needed. Since 1948, New Zealand troops and personnel have been involved in more than 40 peacekeeping missions in places like the Middle East, the former Yugoslavia, Somalia and Iraq. But our brilliant peacekeeping record doesn't mean we have to go running into Ukraine when the time comes. We need to be more picky about what peacekeeping work we get involved in because our military resources have become so depleted that we have to be realistic about what we can and can't do. I also think —and I'm not being alarmist or anything here— but I think we should narrow our focus and look at pretty much limiting our military's offshore activities to the Pacific region. I can't imagine the government —which likes to talk about New Zealand doing its bit globally— being too fussed with that idea. But I think we need to refine our approach and stop saying ‘yes' to requests from other countries every time the phone rings. Which is why if British prime minister Keir Starmer or US president Donald Trump or whoever is running Australia by the time a ceasefire in Ukraine happens, phones Wellington, I hope we have the fortitude to say we'd like to, but we can't. We can't because we don't have the military capacity. We can't because we've learned from past experience that, once you're involved in these things, it can be very hard to get out. And we can't, because our military needs to focus on stuff closer to home. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the Middle East Institute's Geoffrey Aronson returns to the program to discuss his Responsible Statecraft article "There is no 'plan for Palestine' because Israel doesn't want one". Also relevant to this conversation is a piece I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading that Geoffrey wrote for his Substack entitled "The Second War for Palestine". Elements of that Substack piece are covered here, but there's more in there that we couldn't get to in our time together. The majority of this conversation deal with the United States under the Biden administration's talk of the needs for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict with the creation of a Palestinian state, presumably administred by the Palestinian authority. Problem is, according to Aronson's analysis of the history, that Israel doesn't want that. Thus U.S. talk of the "Day After in Gaza" scenario becomes irrelevant because Israel, whether under Benajmin Netanyahu or a potential successor like Benny Gantz, is not interested in the advice the U.S. is offering. We will also delve into Israeli strategy since 1967, with a particular focus on the words and thinking of the late Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel Moshe Dayan. We'll talk about the failure of the Oslo process, how the day after in Gaza looks like both today and yesterday, the "Three Wars" Israel is fighting right now, the West Bank, strategies of management vs. seeking a long-term solution, Islamist movements like Hamas and the strategy of dividing Palestinians, and much, much more.
