More Nat infighting
Interesting. The Nats would usually prefer to handle this sort of conflict behind behind closed doors: MP attacks own minister over transport spat Maurice Williamson has attacked his own minister over a transport spat he compared to a "nuclear explosion". The Pakuranga MP told Transport…

#Sheepgate the cabinet papers
It is hard to work out which issue is damaging the Government more, Nick Smith's omnishambles handling of Auckland's housing crisis or Murray McCully's Sheepgate fiasco. Both issues refuse to die and with pieces of information concerning both matters materialising regularly it is likely that…
