How MMP Has Neutered The Opposition

An excellent opinion piece again by Fran O'Sullivan in the NZ Herald today. She explores why National is unable to defend the interests of their natural constituency out of fear of compromising potential coalition deals after the next election. It is partly for this reason that the team at The Hive have felt the need to establish this means by which the truth can be exposed. Another reason is the increasing lack of objectivity of key media commentators. Rod Oram is not the only journalist with his snout deep in the Government trough. How much did John Campbell get paid the other night (by NZTE) to host the export awards?
