Dear Editor, Why is it that the media the only one digging into the practices of the former and current government officials?

Why hasn’t this mantle been taken up by the respective Opposition party leaders of the Demos and the United?

Tina Browne needs to get in there and start throwing some heavyweight punches to let her power be known, there is more to being the leader of the Demos than holding on to her constituents in Rakahanga.

And Teariki Heather needs to take to the airwaves, which he is very good at, and start laying into these “high priced bellhops”, there is more than grooming properties in your constituencies every four years.

Both of you need to get off your duffs and earn your taxpayer pay check, instead of having media do all the heavy lifting.
