comment@ whoar:..john key says ‘thank you - but no thank you’..to the rogernomics 2.0 proposals put forward by brash..and his gimlet-eyed rightwing mates..
(and..gossip has this task force was/is so ‘dry’..they had to have sprinklers playing on them the whole time..)
“..Prime Minister John Key says radical changes proposed in a report into ways to increase New Zealand’s productivity are unlikely to be implemented quickly, if at all.
The 2025 Taskforce - named for the date the Government aims to catch up with Australia - will today unveil its report.
Big cuts in top tax rates, cashing up the superannuation “Cullen Fund” to reduce government debt and a traffic congestion tax starting in Auckland are among the measures Don Brash’s taskforce has suggested to close the pay gap with Australia by 2025.
Mr Key said during the 1980s and 1990s New Zealand underwent radical economic reform while Australia took a more incremental approach.
The trans-Tasman neighbour was now in much better shape.
“In that regard I am not convinced that absolutely radical big bang reform is the right way to go,” Mr Key told Radio New Zealand.
“It would certainly have a dramatic effect on New Zealanders ..
.. and in the short term it would feel very much like we were pulling the rug out from underneath them.”
(i mean..what else did key expect this rightwing coven..headed by brash..to come up with..?..if not this tried/tired formulas for failure..?
was it all just a matter of giving brash a bit of an ‘earn’..?..
..something for him ‘to do’..?..
what a total wast of time/money that ‘task-force’ bullshit/exercise in irrelevancy was..
..eh..?..)
