Brash walking the plank

Only two days after poorly handling an impromptu press conference, Don Brash was snapped in a most unfortunate photo op - walking the plank. For photo see today's print edition of the NZ Herald.
Also in today's NZ Herald is a column from John Armstrong summarising Brash's inability to compete in the cut and thrust of the House:
It must have been an especially pressing appointment that required Don Brash to walk out of Parliament prior to yesterday afternoon's free-for-all general debate and return to his office.
Otherwise his absence has to be viewed as being little short of an abdication of leadership.
Despite his colleagues' efforts to erect smokescreens to hide the obvious, National MPs were left leaderless as Labour lined up speaker after speaker to rubbish Dr Brash's bungled handling of a press conference the day before.
