National Navel Gazing

Gavin at The Penthouse has laid down a challenge to ex-ACT National Party bloggers to write a positive post about anything National's promoted since October.

Okay, so here's three positives the National Party has achieved since October:

Axe Carbon Tax - National's campaign on the Carbon Tax was hardly out of first gear when the Government folded. Actually Peter Dunne folded, but he's such a doormat that if National had kept it's mouth shut he would have not had an opinion on it.

Simon Power - Has bounced back from the awful gaffes he made in defence and is finding law and order like shooting fish in a barrel.

The Green Party Advisers and the Audit Office - Gerry Brownlee throws his not inconsiderable weight around at the Audit Office and the Government starts to cower over paying for two Ministerial Advisers.

  • But what about something important to New Zealanders - like, uh, David Benson-Pope and his tennis balls? :-)

    Quite right Michael, its a bit rich for ACT folks to accuse National of not doing anything positive when their own parliamentary performances seems to rely pretty heavily on personal attacks. I'm sure ACT would like to talk about other issues, but that's the route they seem to have taken.
