OPINION: The Hound notes that in all the media hoo-ha over outgoing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her replacement by a Richie Cunningham from Happy Days look-alike, news that another quitter was back went under the radar.
At the same time, when Ardern was tearfully throwin in the towel, National leader Chris Luxon announced that Todd Muller would be the party's new agriculture spokesman.
Muller was previously the Nats' ag spokesman before he knifed former leader Simon Bridges in 2020 and then quit 51 days later - earning him the rather cutting nickname 'Puddle' because he completely melted when the pressure came on.
Farmers will be keen to see what Muller 2.0 does in regards to issues like methane taxation.
Let's hope he is up to the job this time and has enough backbone and steel to steer the ship in the right direction!
