National and flying squads
Don Brash has come out and supported the Greens on Peter's flying squads.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows the 'flying squads' are a terrible idea. They may have worked 30 years ago, but in these times, with Bills of Rights etc their practice would border on illegal. They may have been able to get the wrong people back in Muldoon's days, but it wouldn't work today, and I suspect Peters knows it. He campaigns on the right and would certainly govern in the centre, no doubt about that.
