She absolutely will do a lot of damage. She'll be editing and signing off on any laws and regulations passed. She'll be passing all of National's dogshit fast track, RMA and local government reforms from last year.

She will also be able to screw us regardless of who wins the next election. If National wins, she can quickly pass any half baked law they come up with. If Labour wins she can block everything they do.

This is why it's generally not the done thing to put ex politicians in this role. Especially not ones with her track record.

I see nothing to celebrate here. We're fucked.
