Would an election coming up have anything to do with this sudden openness?

,,, indeed it would. Race relations are at an all time low in New Zealand under the Labour government's stewardship, schools are being closed by the score and the fiscal surplus continues to grow past the $NZ6b point through overtaxation. Anything she can grasp at to deflect these issues, she will. Don Brash is on the up and up and Klark & Co have reason to worry. New Zealand has worked out what she's all about.
