MP writes column that ignores topic and just recites talking points

Stuff has a feature where every week they nominate a topic, and two MPs share their views on it – Stuart Smith from National and Arena Williams from Labour.

This week the topic was should we have a law which allows voters to recall a politician (my answer would be yes).

Stuart Smith addresses the issue and his entire column in on the issue, and about democracy is about voting people in and out etc.

Arena Williams just ignores the issue, says it is not a priority for the Government and spends 1,000 words or so on floods, petrol tax, public transport, inflation, IRD rebates etc.

If an MP is incapable of writing a column on the actual issue assigned, they should find a new MP to do it.
