Summary:Reports on the increased media profile of the National Party Member of Parliament (MP), who resigned from Cabinet in 2014 when an inquiry was made into whether she had colluded with blogger Cameron Slater to undermine the former head of the Serious Fraud Office, Adam Feeley. Speaks to the backbencher about why she has made herself so available to the media and her desire to be reinstated as a minster. Refers to some of the theories her colleagues have for her profile-building, including trying to force Prime Minister John Key to reinstate her as a minister and speculation she might run for the Auckland mayoralty in 2016. Points to concern that her actions may lead to the perception of a faction in the National Party.
