In chronological order:
John Key: “[I never promised I wouldn’t raise GST]. I said I would not raise GST to cover deficits, and we are not doing so.”
Guyon Espiner: “he would have been better of just saying ‘look, times have changed and GST is now back on the agenda'”
Duncan Garner: “The Prime Minister could have taken a different approach saying, ‘that was then, this is now’ or ‘the tax experts have reported and change is needed’. But both excuses now appear to be too late for the beleaguered PM.”
John Armstrong: “it would surely have been more advisable for the Prime Minister to have been straight up and down yesterday and instead argued along the lines of ‘that was then and this is now’.”
Colin Espiner: “What Key should have said was that times have changed, that that was then and this is now”
Bill English: “Times have changed and we’re dealing with the economy as we find it.”
