What on earth possessed Judith Collins to move against Simon Bridges so maladroitly, and with so little prospect of success? Honestly, I thought Judith Collins was a whole lot smarter than that. As a lawyer, Collins should have known that even Bridges’ caucus enemies would require a proper process to be followed, and the rules of natural justice observed. So, according to her own testimony, she took the matter to the National Party Board instead. Judith Collins, eyebrow raised, quietly picked up her rifle, climbed out of the trench, and started walking across no-man’s land towards the enemy.
