Time to bring out those scorecards. We haven’t yet received a public scorecard(lots of private informal ones) from the Pacific community on how Georgina Te Heuheu, Pacific Affairs Minister, has fared in the role. Fifteen months is long enough to get familiar with the issues, if she wasn’t aware already. So far, what we’re hearing is not good news. Her responses in the House during question time do not give us much confidence. So we want to cast the net wider. Now, if you’re in the Minister’s office, you can enter the poll as well. But like everyone else, you get one vote only.
