More Reflections on Orewa II

Don Brash achieved a lot - he is setting the agenda, getting media coverage, being criticised by radical opponents. All good if you're one of his media minders. Last year his Orewa speech lasted for 3 months. This time it will probably would have lasted 3 days, except the Government went into overdrive on this - the best thing would have been to comment and leave it at that.

So far we have had a Race Relations speech that Richard Prebble could have written, a Law and Order speech that Stephen Franks could have written and a Social Welfare Speech that Muriel Newman could have written. Maybe National should employ Heather Roy to write the Health speech that Don will be delivering in a couple of months.
