Simon Bridges is making himself sound silly over the slushy 'scandal'. How much time (taxpayer money) did his staff spend digging up this dirt to throw at Corrections' Minister, Kelvin Davis, who sounds like a man with gravitas for a change?
It just makes me question Bridge's judgement even more. What goes on in his head?
For instance the prison population is on the rise again, despite Labour's pledge to reduce it; despite the Justice Summit which did cost a truckload and seems to have delivered little. Corrections says a backlog of criminals due to be processed caused the rise. Why a backlog? Justice delayed is not justice. There are a myriad of serious questions the leader of the opposition could be asking but he picks the petty.

If he had framed it better it may have worked. Such as “instead of spending on s new prison at Waikeria that would make everyone, both prisoners and corr3ctions staff safer, Corrections decided to buy slushy machines”.
But no, Bridges rushed to the basement.
There is no doubt that National have far better mps than Labour. However there’s nothing that really makes you want to vote for them. Sorry the “but we can manage it better than Labour” doesn’t really cut it.
Paranormal
Perfectly fair play in the sport of politics to slam the slushy scam.
Simon's problem is only that someone ref-tampered and had the media spin him crook. Then Bryce Edwards and Richard Harman piled on in and suddenly his leadership is on the rocks!
Pretty sure he'll pull through though. Winston and Trev have his back. See here
