So I was looking up some interesting interviews I'd missed on RadioNZ and discovered that they have a great section with plenty of info on the New Zealand General Election 2011.

A subsection of which contains a categorized list of comprehensive and meaningful questions (which we all should be wanting the answers to):

What I found disturbing was that for all questions National: 'Declined to answer this question.'

Not that they haven't got round to it yet like ACT and Maori Party which is pretty bad but have declined. While Labour and the Green party and even the Mana party have given full answers. Even United Future have responded to all questions, if but quite briefly.

So I'm at a bit of a loss to work out how National are going to build us a brighter future. Maybe I'm underestimating the power of John Key's smile but I get the feeling they're basically winging it while building brighter futures for themselves and the already wealthy.
