Even amateur, part-time bloggers sometimes make mistakes, and last week we didn’t send Clark her questions until Wednesday, rather than Monday, due to a miscommunication between ourselves. So, we extended her deadline to this Wednesday. We’ll post her replies when we get them. In the meantime, here are the questions to ACT’s Rodney Hide that we chose from your suggestions. We promise to remember to send these ones.
The general question remains:
Of which of your achievements in politics are you most proud?
For the two other questions we’ve gone with r0b’s question:
Do you believe that the Earth’s climate is warming? If it is, is the warming dangerous? if it is dangerous, what does ACT believe we should do about it?
and Burt’s question:
Would ACT implement tax deductibility for private health and education fees in recognition that by purchasing these services privately tax payers are funding the public system that they do not use
While we haven’t been able to cover everything you asked we have emailed Hide a link to the questions post so he can have a look at your issues. We’re expecting to post his answers on Monday April 28.
In the meantime, our next leader is the Maori Party’s Tariana Turia. You can place your questions for her in the comments section of this post. Reminder: tough but fair.

It is highly likely that in the future NZ will become a republic. What do you think is necessary for this to come about?
In regards to tino rangatiratanga why do you think Maori should be able to live under different rules than everyone else?
What do you say to members of the public who find it disgusting that you are wasting tax payer dollars by calling up MP’s in Parliament who don’t pronounce Maori place names correctly.
Tariana Turia,
Please tell me if you deliberately started your political training with Labour because Helen Clark was and is the best politician, but only as training because you had every intention of starting your own party, but needed the expertise first?
Brett Dale, I’m sure she has nothing to say to you. Referring to yourself as ‘members of the public’ is a touch odd though.
Actually she might call you up on apostrophe misuse, if it’s her thing.
