Hide confident ACT supports him

09/02/2010 8:36:01

Rodney Hide is confident he has his caucus behind him as ACT gets down to business for 2010.

The party leader was under pressure from Sir Roger Douglas and Heather Roy late last year over his performance.

Mr Hide describes it as an amicable performance review and says he has the support of his caucus and in particular that of Sir Roger.

The former perk buster hit the headlines last year when he took his girlfriend on a $50,000 super city fact finding mission to London, Canada and America at the taxpayers' expense.
