There is no excuse for not supporting Brash Inquiry

Between 2003 and 2005 hundreds of e-mails were stolen from the Leader of the Opposition. You are all familiar with the subsequent details. Mercifully Don Brash is not going to let the ensuing corrupt cover-up die a death. Good for him.

Anybody who doesn't support his call for a Commission of Inquiry into the police handling of his stolen e-mails should examine their motives. As Brash says, it isn't about him. It is much bigger than that.

Many New Zealanders are far too smug and complacent about their country being corruption-free. Others want to turn a blind eye to this issue simply because they don't care for Don Brash. Others won't brook any criticism of the police. Others will want it buried because it is a very bad look for one or other of the two main political parties.

They are all illegitimate, unworthy, evasive cop-outs.

Update. That was quick. Too quick. Why weren't "all practical avenues of investigation" exhausted in the first police investigation? Isn't that an admission they were buggering about? Brash should get the independent Commission of Enquiry he asked for. Not another potential whitewash
