What a load of crappola from Audrey Young

I've said it before - Audrey Young is the most erratic political reporter in New Zealand. I think she wakes each day cranky at a different politician. Pity she's the political editor for the NZ Herald then.

Here's her comment on Pita Sharples:

Dr Sharples not only held his own among leaders with more than 100 years parliamentary experience between them, he succeeded in de-demonising the Maori Party with his warm style and carefully selected inclusive messages.

He had no idea what he was talking about. He didn't even know what the Cullen Fund was. Audrey Young thinks he "held his own"?

Here's her comment on Brash's performance:

But no number of technical hits that he won on political points could overcome his self-inflicted handicap.

Even if he had slain Helen Clark, Jim Anderton and Jeanette Fitzsimons on tax cuts, he could not have won. This could never have been his night.

It was impossible to see Dr Brash as anything but tainted, in everything he said.

Eh?
