COMMENT: Todd Muller has faced his first real test of moral leadership and has been found wanting so far. The person that leaked those details to Walker was none other than National Party grandee and former party president Michelle Boag. Boag was involved in Muller’s bid to wrest the National Party leadership from Simon Bridges in June. The involvement of Boag shows that National party figures were deeply involved in this poorly executed operation from start to finish. If the National Party can’t be trusted with sensitive information in Opposition, voters might ask: Why should they be entrusted with Government?
