Do you get frustrated when you watch politicians et al being interviewed and the journo doesn’t ask the glaringly obvious question? You sit in disbelief as the logical line of enquiry is ignored and some trivial side-issue is explored.

I think there are a lot of intelligent, rational-thinking Kiwis who daily despair of our politicians and other decision-makers ever being held accountable for the choices they make – supposedly on our behalf.

New Zealand’s political and social landscape has been radically altered over the last twenty or so years – and I don’t remember being told – let alone asked – if it’s what I wanted! Were you?

So I am going to start asking the questions I want answered – on this blog. I don’t really presume I will get many answers – but I’m still going ask!

Cheers!
