"I would have preferred to go stronger. The evidence was simply not there to go beyond that.
The worst case scenario would be if he imposed a total ban, which was then challenged in court and not upheld due to lack of evidence, he said.

mmm.. yes, that whole 'evidence' thing.
fucking Political Correctness gone mad if you ask me.

MP Peter Dunne has recently been appointed as a Minister outside cabinet for two positions, Associate Minister of Health and Minister of Revenue. These appointments may be relevant to a wide range of health issues in New Zealand, the Pacific region, and elsewhere. This letter focuses on his record on tobacco issues, and considers some of the implications of his appointments.
For nearly 20 years, Mr Dunne has taken a public position opposed to tobacco control. In 1987, while an Undersecretary of Health in the Labour Government, he was reported as describing those who wanted a ban on tobacco advertising as ‘elitist zealots’.1 Since he left the Labour Party in 1994, he has consistently voted against tobacco control initiatives.
