NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark on the tax package by National:
They over-promised,
We said we were managing the economy so well, for so long, we actually fooled them.
they've under-delivered
It appears they had a look at the books after all, and had to pare things back. That's not our fault is it?
-- and funded it by wrecking peoples' savings accounts
We force people to save for their own good. They are only half forcing them to save, and the rest is optional. Bastards.
and wrecking our chances of building a smart economy."
After 9 years in power watching it all go down the toilet, we now announce chance it ever was with Labour. Oops, I mean they are wrecking 9 years of careful, err, preparation for this very moment. I told Cullen we should have put a billion into PowerBall instead of rail.
