Hon SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga): I was just reflecting, as the member was speaking—in a sense, for Louisa Wall—that any member of Parliament who's been around a little while will have on occasion a sense of ambivalence around journalists. You know, we will from time to time have stories we think are somewhat unfair or don't quite characterise things in quite the way they perhaps could. But, of course, the role of a journalist in bringing forward the truth, investigating significant matters, and holding the powerful to account is incredibly important and is, as Ginny Andersen said, an integral part of a liberal democratic society like New Zealand's. Actually, it's even more important, I would argue, in many other countries where they don't have our democratic tradition.
