“…Rodney Hide was an abusive, intimidating bully who tried for months to discredit Heather Roy into quitting as deputy leader …
… according to statements Mrs Roy made in a confidential document.
The 82 pages of supporting material – obtained by the Herald – outline her defence, given in a statement to the Act caucus, against concerns about her behaviour …
.. and are an attack on Mr Hide’s leadership.
They paint a picture of a fractured party that has been infighting while pretending to be unified …
… and of an insecure leader who moved to demote Mrs Roy … without just cause…”
(and..for a bit of balance here…hide has the moan that roy has been useless as a minister..
..and i hafta say..that when roy was appointed consumers affairs minister…i thought it was a sick joke…
(kinda like keith locke being put in charge of the spooks…eh..?…)
..and that she would be useless in the role..
..and this has come to pass…
..roy has been invisible in her role of ‘battling for consumers’…
..have we heard even a peep from her since her appointment…?
(see what i mean about a ‘sick joke’…?..)
