Peter Dunne interviewed by Gordon Campbell


Every now and then a journalist does a good interview of an MP. Last Friday it happened again. Gordon Campbell interviewed Peter Dunne.

Topics include abortion, tax - and income splitting, Kyoto and ETS, religion and being a centre party. Oh, and Christian parties.
Campbell: Do you think any of the Christian-based parties will cross the 5 % threshold this year?

Dunne : No. United Future is not in that camp, not any more.

Campbell: You’ve been through your prayer meeting phase ?

Dunne : Well, we were never really in it. I certainly wasn’t. But we had some people who imagined that United Future could become New Zealand’s version of the Taliban.

Campbell: Right.

Dunne : And they’ve now thankfully left to pursue their course to oblivion.
