Ms Aikman said in a letter that the commission appeared to have been aware of these allegations about Ms Thompson's qualifications for the past four years or so, "but they were not raised with Ms Thompson while she was a public servant".
Ms Aikman declined to comment to NZPA yesterday other than to repeat the letter was sent in error.
The story doesn't say anything further about this letter. What letter is being referred to? Who sent it? Who was it sent to? When was it sent? Why was it "sent in error"? Where should it have gone? Why is it even mentioned?
[UPDATE: Found it. It's an allusion to a story carried the previous day in the Herald. Some mention could/should have been made of this earlier story.]
