In New Zealand politics there are a few givens. Winston Peters being owned by interests in the fishing and racing industries is one. Green Co-Leader being the agent introduced by Laila Harre and Matt McCarten to control the Green Party's economic policy agenda is another.
Today McCarten shows his true colours.
There is unfortunately a factual error Matt. Why did National under Ruth Richardson have to bail out the BNZ? Because it inhereited a rather large problem left oveer from the previouss administration. Who was Deputy Prime Minister in that administration???? Oh, yes, Helen Clark.
