‘Duynhoven Debarcle’ Undermines Confidence

‘Duynhoven Debarcle’ Undermines Confidence In Parliament
As if New Zealanders weren't cynical enough about Parliament, we now have proof positive that this government believes it is above the law. The Duynhoven debacle is a further nail in the coffin of Parliament's credibility.
The government's "look after your own" attitude is also evident in the "independent" media organisation TVNZ. Yes, Kim Hill is a very good journalist but she is a left leaning liberal. Could it perhaps be coincidental that three left leaning liberals; Kim Hill, Pam Corkery and Brian Edwards all got new shows on TVNZ in a single year? - I don't think so.
The Clark government is arrogant, cunning and manipulative. They will do anything it takes to hold onto power.
It is time that we chose a man of character to lead New Zealand.
Yours faithfully
