In which James Allan, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Otago derides National Radio for not being “middle New Zealand” (read ‘right wing’) enough. It’s from the pages of the NBR, so naturally there’ll be much head-nodding, tie-adjusting and murmurs of ‘hear hear’.
The real reason NatRad was always harder on Shipley than they are on Helen Clark? Shipley lied. She was found to lie. Repeatedly. Her policies and those of her party crippled a full third of New Zealand’s population. She was, in short, detrimental to the welfare of this country.
