Among the revelations of Bermuda was the astonishing, bald-faced hypocrisy that surrounded this last America's Cup campaign. That same Phil Goff will be front and centre when it comes to the speeches extolling the virtues of the America's Cup and Team NZ.

No one is saying the taxpayer has to fold $36m into ETNZ, as in the previous America's Cup - but let's tone down the hypocrisy, shall we?
