  • PR boss: Anger over C-word has deflected legitimate criticism of Nats over pay equity.

The article from the NZ Herald discusses the controversy surrounding a column by Andrea Vance published in Stuff, which criticized Finance Minister Nicola Willis and other female MPs over their stance on pay equity.
