Not often that I praise National MPs but it will be election year soon and colleagues mightn’t appreciate it then.
Amy Adams was on the Fairfax Media top 25 in their best and worst lawmakers list, at 24. Well behind Grant Robertson, at 5, but still great place for a first term MP.
Still wasn’t going to post because these lists happen regularly and this one is really just pop analysis with a tendency to repeat comments from tiddly PM, but then one of the Nat cheerleaders on their pet Kiwiblog said :-
By the way, who is that obscure, almost anonymous politician, named Amy Adams? Never seen her.
Well Amy Adams isn’t a drama queen like several of her colleagues but is one of the brightest, almost cetainly the hardest working Nat backbench MP. She prepares well, has good attention to detail and showed a real heart with a speech when she came back from the Canterbury earthquake.
And I think if the National Cabinet was talent based she would be in it by now.
