Anyone remember Helen Clark’s announcement during Labour’s election campaign that there would be no new significant spending promises:
“We have judged it not prudent at this present time to make those sort of commitments.”
We’ve now got Key justifying his inevitable-looking betrayal of his campaign tax cut promises:
“There’s no getting away from the fact that this Budget has been prepared in much leaner times than I, Bill English, and indeed all New Zealanders had hoped for during the election campaign”
“Hoped for”.
I’m not averse to the odd punt from time to time myself but does that make anyone else a little nervous coming, as it does, from our PM?
