Another case of autocracy from Law and order Committee Chair Sandra Goudie: she has censored minority reports from the Estimates reviews for Vote: Police and Vote: Corrections. As Clayton Cosgrove points out, censoring a minority report is not unprecedented - but the only other case is from the same committee, under the same dictatorial chair. In other words, it does not happen in a smoothly functioning committee.
Goudie is clearly abusing her position and has to go. Unfortunately National seems quite happy to tolerate this autocratic and undemocratic behaviour. After all, its just a reflection of the behaviour of their Ministers...
