Blame the victim

What should a political party do when one of its MPs is subjected to stalking and harassment by a significant donor? In ACT, it seems, the answer is to haul them onto the carpet and demand an "explanation":

Act will today seek a full explanation from MP Deborah Coddington over her allegations that she was the subject of abusive behaviour from the head of the Business Roundtable.

Party leader Rodney Hide said yesterday that he had rebuked Ms Coddington for not telling him she had gone to the Diplomatic Protection Squad over her alleged troubles with Roundtable executive director Roger Kerr.

And next week ACT MPs will no doubt be scratching their heads and asking puzzled, hurt questions about why women don't vote for them...
