Involved in what passed for strategy at least until the last election, leading ABC club member, likely source of many a leak, seems more concerned about his own interests than his party or NZ. Machiavellian bitch, in short.

Think he's right in this:
Surely what anyone auditioning to be Prime Minister needs to do is to introduce themselves to the public and show a glimpse of their character, as well as their policies. Like it or not, politics works on narrative and people vote on likeability as much as plans for the current account deficit.
Perhaps not in assuming a candidate's home was an inevitable setting, or that their individual campaign strategy might not validly rule out taking part. Or that some viewers might see no hard questions as 'endorsement'. But then it's no surprise a TV producer thinks people should always say yes to appearing. :)

Not really his choice when he got rather splashed across our screens for misusing public funds. :)
The recent 3Degrees hagiography is drawing most criticism for how un-wartsy and fawning it was.
