And if wonder why I am covering this every so often it is because it is this:
One Dimensional thinkers of both the Left and Right Wing (hence I was annoyed a BA Politics student not getting it) say that (in this case it is the 1D right wingers) that they are not focusing on issues that matter.
Well not only does that statement belittle the intelligence of the electorate but shows they do not understand the three dimensions a democratic institution works in. For that matter if a Government MP has said it (Jami-Lee Ross) then they are not fit to be MPs as they have no understanding of the full nature of our democratic institution.
As I have pointed out when rot sets at the top of our democratic institution it can become a cancer that will eventually claim even the most powerful economies or Empires. The Roman Empire being a classic example, the modern USA is lurching towards the same fate. For a sci-fi example it would be the Old Republic going to the Galactic Empire before that gave way in a violent rebellion to the New Republic.
With the PM also forced to return to Parliament to make a personal statement for in effect lying during Question Time, and the Inspector General of the Intelligence forces now kicking off an investigation over a leaking of a report then you know that Rot is now set in at the top.
If a voter goes out saying that all this is not issues that matter then they are part of that rot as well as they are complicit in harming the democratic institution we are in.
At the end of the day all this is a very large issue that matters. Rot sets in at the top and as it has done in History it will claim even the strongest of economies and even strongest of Empires

2) Did you talk to Cameron Slater the night before the release of the IGIS report, and the Justice Chisholm report on Judith Collins?
3) How many times in the last month have you spoken to Slater?
4) Does Cameron Slater records his phone calls, and if he does, how much leverage does he now have over you (whether in your capacity as a private citizen, PM, Minister of Tourism etc, etc)?
5) Are you OK with the possibility of Slater having…
