    So, Judith Collins has announced her intention to retire from politics
    and quit as an MP later this year (May or onwards sometime).

    NobodyrCOs really sure where the nickname rCLCrusherrCY Collins came from:
    it surfaced at the time of her legislation put forward to destroy the
    cars of illegal street racers, but who originated it?

    John Key says it was the media. I would go further: I would say it was
    TV3 that popularized the name.

    3 News today also says that only a total of 3 cars were crushed under
    the law.
