More cronyism

There's an election coming up, so it must be time for the government to make some more crony appointments! Steven Joyce announced a bunch of CRI board appointments today, including Jeff Grant at AgResearch and Andrew von Dadelszen at Plant & Food. However, he's missed some pretty significant information from the bios: Grant is a former National party MP, while von Dadelszen is or was chair of National's "BlueGreens" group and is married to Simon Bridges' electorate agent. I guess one taxpayer salary just wasn't enough for them...
