Your claims:

National's time as Govt was devastating for a lot of vulnerable NZers

"dirty politics" played a role in National's success (at what?)

Slater was a key player (in "dirty politics")


The first claim rings true (without any analysis). The third claim is clearly true. The second? I don't see any evidence for it and I'm not even sure what the "success" is. Maybe the fact that Whaleoil revealed WInston Peters had been meeting Kim Dotcom before an election had some influence, but so it should have. That's public-interest stuff.

Slater's hacked correspondence contained the revelation that Judith Collins had tried to undermine the head of the SFO and she was forced to resign. That was bad for National.
