Pull No Punches
By Judith Collins, Allen & Unwin, rrp $36.99

Judith Collins and the National Party obviously didn’t win the 2020 election, but no doubt there’s another book in it for Ms Collins. Pull No Punches is a straightforward account of Judith’s life up to this point. She briefly talks about her childhood, her family, and then her time as a lawyer and a business woman. The main thrust of the book appears to be to set the record straight. This is Judith’s side of the story – Oravida, John Key, Jami-Lee Ross etc.  Unfortunately, the book lacks warmth and I would have enjoyed more personal insights.  However, the book is an easy read and Judith Collins’ fans should enjoy it.
