Damning Faafoi with faint praise

said:

Faafoi is a very talented MP whose hard work has earned him a place on the . He is instantly recognisable to many New Zealanders and connects well when he's on the road – an invaluable skill when working with the industry.

When you read this carefully you see that Little is saying that Kris is being promoted because he used to be on TV and gets on well with people.

You'd think in a press release announcing a new member of the shadow cabinet, they could work a bit harder to talk up his skills.

This isn't a go at Kris, who I think does a good job as an MP. Just the bizarre press release wording justifying his appointment.
