Favourite Part of Don Brash's speech

Have just returned from the National Party Conference - here's my favourite part of Don Brash's speech from this morning:

"Just this week we've had the latest chapter in the Taito Phillip Field saga.

I don't intend to dwell on this today.

I simply make the point that New Zealand politics has been free of corruption for many decades in a way that's almost unique in the world.

And now we have a Prime Minister who;ll turn a blind eye to allegations of serious corruption; who'll actually contrive to ensure that allegations of corruption against a member of her Government are not investigated because holding the baubles of office has become more important to her than the preservation of the integrity of public life in this country."

Pretty damning statement on Helen Clark - will be interesting to hear her response.
