Not Quite Right

My euphoria isn't shared. Obviously Telecom isn't impressed. What's also not terribly surprising, though more through their hide-bound *groan* ideology, is Act's response.

I'm very thankful that Rodders is one of a whole two Act MP's, since it means they haven't a shit show in hell of derailing legislation. I'm unsure how National will respond, but the Greens and Maori Party will definitely support the coalition, as will, probably, NZ First.

A quick dig through the National Party website found this So, National appear to be committed to supporting this move, or facing the wrath of most of the electorate for yet another flip-flop. The distinction of partial unbundling against this proposal will be lost on most of the hoi poloi, and Labour could easily do a masterful job of muddying the details.
