Mallard on Carter

Trevor blogged yesterday:

Chris is pretty badly hurt. And he is damaged. That is obvious. He has to decide what he wants to do.

My appeal is for us to be reasonable, forget the lynch mob mentality, and let him work out what is best for him, for Labour and for New Zealand.

And give him space to do that.

Trevor is right. I think people should show the same compassion and reasonableness to Chris Carter, as Trevor himself showed to Nick Smith when Nick got badly hurt and had to take some time off.
