Or are they aware but simply can’t raise themselves above the usual tit-for-tat election campaign debates? NZ Democrats for Social Credit Party health spokesman, David Tranter, notes that on a recent The Nation programme National and Labour social development spokesmen were supposedly discussing "the best ways to provide for those in need".
