Fran gets it wrong

Fran O’Sullivan writes on how Don Brash needs strong women at his side.

However she weakens her own case by getting a key fact wrong. O’Sullivan says:

Of the 12 women in National’s caucus, only the feisty Judith Collins – resplendent in her yellow jacket – is on the front bench.

Rich still languishes one row back, ranked well behind male politicians who have yet to demonstrate her level of effectiveness.

However as this seating plan of the House shows, Katherine Rich is not only on the front bench but indeed seated next to Judith Collins.
