Tony Orman: How does PM John Key’s legacy rate?

In August at the National Party conference, former Prime Minister John Key urged a more measured cautious approach to race issues. It drew forthright reaction.

Writing on the NZCPR website, Geoff Parker said “considering the race-based policies implemented during the last National government, (of which John Key was Prime Minister) many feel Key is out of line—in the debate around race issues.”

Former NZ First MP Michael Laws was more direct on YouTube saying, “The National Party made dreadful mistake yesterday of inviting the former Prime Minister (John Key) to their conference. “The dreadful mistake he added was “because Key was a bad prime minister.”
