I'm not sure what you're trying to elicit here.

Is it that you can't see how Slater was able to achieve anything. His work ultimately being for naught? You want me to somehow demonstrate impact?

Or is it his work was abstract from society? I'm overrepresenting or completely wrong about the politic significance of his platform. Politicians didn't need to consider the tools he had demonstrated ability and willingness to use when exercising their authority?

It's my assertion that the changes to NZ this last decade were on balance harmful, I think that's well established. I accept others will see the changes in a different light.

I do wonder what you think Slater hoped to achieve with his "journalism". I wish my opinion of him was as low as yours.
