Description

I've Been Thinking - Thoroughly enjoyable and rich in commonsense. Richard Prebble has the courage and honesty to look for original solutions to age-old problems. "The tile of this book is, so I'm told, the phrase that I was known for in Wellington. Civil service mandarins warned their staff that the proposals that caused the most upheavals always started with me saying: "I've been thinking". In 1987, a new cabinet position was created: Minister of State Enterprises. The PM insisted that I take the position. I was very reluctant - and not just because it was clearly a suicide mission. I resisted because I couldn't see how one person could expect to do such a job. I had been for the previous three years Minister of Transport responsible for the country's ports, airports and the nation's largest shipping company. I had also been Minister of Aviation responsible for Air New Zealand, and Minister of Railways responsible for New Zealand's largest transport company. I found the portfolios very demanding. Now it was proposed that I administer what had become more than 20 portfolios, and the work of 10 busy Ministers.. . .
