Trevor Mallard picked it over at Red Alert yesterday. And Audrey Young at The Herald is carrying the story this morning:
Minister faces axe after new Act revolt
Act minister Heather Roy is facing the axe from John Key’s Administration today, after she is dumped by her parliamentary colleagues as deputy leader of Act.
First-term Act MP John Boscawen is expected to take her jobs as deputy leader and a minister.
Mrs Roy is said to again have been trying to rally party opinion against Rodney Hide.
This looks like the culmination of a long running feud between Hide and Roy. We have covered earlier instalments here and here.
So, John Boscawen eh. Well well well. A man with such broad electoral appeal that he came in a good strong fourth in Mt Albert. He should turn ACT’s fortunes around don’t you think? But what of Heather Roy? I wonder if she will split off and form a new party of the right? Fight ACT for that 1.5% of the vote? Go Heather, go!
