Don Brash on Agenda TV

Great interview with Don Brash yesterday. I think he got some very good points across.

He pointed out that a fundamental difference between National and Labour is that National wants to change the law to pay what it owes from overspending during the election; Labour wants to change the law to avoid paying back it's overspending during the election.

He also explained why he won't do 'whatever it takes' to win an election - that is, while he could bribe his way to victory, he'd rather not promise policy that would damage the economy long-term for a short-term gain.

On another note, Lisa Owen should not be presenting the programme. She doesn't seem to have any grasp on the history of the issues (although that could be as she has only returned from London at the start of this year) and I had to laugh when Chris Trotter told her she'd misunderstood his column in this weeks Independant Financial Review.
