Sir Simon William English, but you can call him “Dipper”
Newsrot 04/06/2018
Former Prime Minister Bill English has been made a Sir in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. He says it is great to be acknowledged.
“I was a bit surprised actually, in view of the fact I was busted for rorting my housing allowance! But I’m pleased because it’s an honour that acknowledges not just myself, but other people as well – particularly my wife Mary. My public life would not have been possible without her.”
Sir Bill says he hopes it encourages the next generation—“outstanding individuals like Aaron Gilmore, Todd Barclay and Jami-Lee Ross”— to be involved in public service.
“You can change things for the better – give people better lives, create a better country – and I’m pleased I was part of a team that helped tout New Zealand as a low-wage country to potential investors like Kim Dotcom, Karel Sroubek and Peter Thiel. That was, despite what the Negative Nigels and Moaning Moanas say, the way forward for us.”
He first entered Parliament in 1990, representing the electorate of Wallace. By 2001 he was leading the National Party, but lost the 2002 election in a landslide, after a mortifying election year which saw him booed by university students, beaten senseless in a charity boxing match, and repeatedly humiliated in the House by an ascendant Helen Clark.
In 2008 he became Finance Minister under Sir John Key’s leadership, before taking the reins again in 2016 when Key suddenly baled out.
His wife Mary says it is a different life for the family after nearly three decades in politics.
“It’s quite weird.”
Though his full name and title is now Sir Simon William English, he told Stuff he hopes people call him plain old ‘Dipper’.
