With the Opposition and Labour cronies predicting an early election, Andrew Urquhart asks another former politician - is there merit to the doomsday prophecies or is it just 'stirring'? Ex-National MP Simon O'Connor says there is a place for productive friction in government.  He also highlights the difference between commentary and accurate reporting in journalism, as well as the importance of maintaing neutrality in the civil service.
