This Govt have been in 2 years.Have achieved more in that time frame than the Nats in 9.
Usual line GFC...caused by Key's Wall St cronies,and a natural disaster,still with unresolved issues.
You would think Bill the 'double dipper from Dipton' and YanKee John put on carpenters belts and rebuilt the place themselves!
Key was able to borrow more in his term than the cumulative borrowing since the NZ Govt began because Labour had built up the collateral by prudent,budgets in their term.(Cullen Fund-a security)
Nats never had the 'data' and kicked the can down the road(as usual)on important issues.Including returning NZ'ers in immigration figures ,distorts the numbers,though personally they are still too high.
National bolstered immigration categories-truck drivers,ag workers,retail staff..to keep a lid on wages and maintain profits.
Key who's first task was to restore knighthoods and last was to accept one had one big regret...didn't change the flag after spending $26mil.GO FIGURE!!
