Diane Revoluta: something is rotten in the state of New Zealand

When around 10,000 people protest over your actions in the space of a week, you know about it. And if you don’t—if you’re not ‘aware of it’ and you show a complete lack of interest in being made aware of it—you are positioning yourself as a leader content on acting without the support of the people and without even the respect to listen to their grievances.’ The rest of Diane’s opinion is well worth considering, regardless of your political stripes.
