"there has never been a more disgraceful political action in the post-war years than the behaviour of the Justice Minister Judith Collins over the Bain compensation matter. Its breath-taking arrogance is without precedence."

"The minister's role is to uphold justice, not dispense or twist it which is the effect of her intervention and disgraceful bias in showing the Binnie report to the prosecution but not the other side."

"This appalling Bain situation is a matter for the Prime Minister's intervention by way of a Cabinet reshuffle, which often occurs following the Christmas break.

Judith Collins is temperamentally unsuited for the Justice Ministry. I suggest he gives her the troubled education portfolio to "clean up". Now that would be fun. "
