Fran O’Sullivan is not known as a critic of our pollies from the right. So imagine my surprise when catching up on my weekend reading I spotted these somewhat acerbic comments.
On Thursday night, the man who wants to be our next prime minister was nowhere to be seen. he was off touring New Zealand endeavouring to raise his profile.[while] the country’s news organs are busily dissecting his leadership and asking the “What does Key stand for” question. Corporate NZ is asking the same questions.
I’d already been hearing murmurs about Mr Key and his regular disappearing tricks but this seems like a clear case of “business is going to vote for me anyway so I’m off to charm the masses”. Or is it that he’s afraid of fronting up to the policies the corporate world want him to put his name to?
No wonder she thinks he has to lift his game.
What is a “polis”, apart from a town in Cyprus?
jebus, Fran must have had a whattackers peanut slab, she’ll have got a nasty answerphone missive from her bosses at Nat HQ for being so off-message with that one.
Obviously Corporate NZ doesn’t feel like it’s getting its money’s worth. I guess this is their way of sending a warning to the Hollow Man.
The local smearing gallery needs to gets its act together.
Please try and agree whether you think Fran Sullivan is under control of the Nats, or Corporate NZ. Maybe you should email her your thoughts, using the link on the article?
As usual from low quality commentors here, all we get is an attack on the messenger, even when it is critical of Key
I suppose this one was BS too?

Actually, it WAS hollow…
And they say the left doesn’t have a sense of humour
