On reflection I am very cross* with Collins and Brownlee for stooping so low to dog whistle such utter conspiracy BS on this issue. Their statements have the capacity to dangerously undermine the buy-in required for society to work together to get through something like this.

 

In a country that always scores near the top in international transparency and trust in government surveys, there's just no need for it. I have confidence that if there was important un-released information, a whistle blower would have let it slip.

 

Such a tactic shows the current National leadership are shut scared of getting thumped at the election and they don't have anything up their sleeve. They are totally bereft of ideas, talent and policy. Collins is still playing the game the only way she knows how, the Dirty Politics way. She doesn't act like there's been a subtle re-framing of the game and how the public expect it to be played.

Its election year, but they promised two National Parks, so NZ is sorted
