Peter Dunne was one of the more forgettable MPs that we have had. Through the vagarities of a televised worm and National's implosion in 2002 he led a small party for a while. The party fell apart and dwindled into a rump of one. Dunne…

Radio New Zealand has the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPmiAictFkI I can understand the motivation of the ad creators. Bridges is becoming something of a caricature. Maybe…
