Judith Collins delivers a speech on race relations to the National Party's Northern convention
National is accusing Labour of backing a covert 20-year plan to establish Māori sovereignty. That would be political dynamite, says
Graham Adams, who argues it represents a real threat to Jacinda Ardern’s reputation as open and transparent.
OPINION: Judith Collins made no effort to hide the cat-with-the-cream expression on her face when she answered journalists’ questions after a National Party meeting in Auckland on Saturday. She had just delivered a speech that rolled a grenade under Jacinda Ardern – with an apparent confidence that it would go off with an almighty bang and cause an awful lot of damage to the Labour Government. She looked extremely pleased with herself.
