Business commentator Pattrick Smellie

Pattrick talks to Kathryn about how things look for Jenny Shipley and her fellow directors of Mainzeal after last week's Supreme Court hearings? Also he believes the government's petrol tax and public transport decisions are "good politics" but says they also would appear to herald that for the next 18 months, this is a government that will be poll-driven, short termist, and ultimately highly pragmatic in its desire to win a third term. Pattrick Smellie is the editor and co-founder of BusinessDesk and has reported on the New Zealand economy and business since 1983.
