I've grown fond of Nathan on @FirstUpRNZ. A while back he asked Brooke how ACT would address child poverty. She said by adjusting tax thresholds. Nothing else. I shit you not! #MagicBullet
Week in Review: Act is convinced its deputy leader, Brooke van Velden, can win the TÄmaki seat but a lot of things will have to go right for her to beat the National incumbent, writes Liam Hehir
