OPINION: There isn’t much left of Jim Bolger’s legacy. His reforms in introducing market discipline in health and education didn’t survive Helen Clark’s administration, and although he did oversee the sale of some State Owned Enterprises this was timid compared to what Roger Douglas and Richard Prebble had accomplished. Bolger left us with MMP, so thanks for that, Jim. He also began the current round of Treaty of Waitangi settlements, although some commentators feel that Sir Doug Graham deserves the credit for this development. I suspect Sir Doug might be one of those commentators.
