I read my weekly email from our hardworking PM with interest as always.

‘Key Notes‘ starts:

BOOSTING THE ECONOMY : This week I announced my pilot business scholarship scheme. Under the $1 million scheme, people can apply for up to $110,000 to study at an internationally-recognised business school. This will help Kiwi businesses grow and compete internationally.

Anyone else reminded of the underpants gnomes in South Park?

• Step 1: pay 15-25 businessmen to do their MBAs in the States.
• Step 2: ?
• Step 3: Profit!

Seriously, 350,000 jobless Kiwis and the plan Key is bragging about is a million dollars worth of subsidies for the business elite as the solution to our woes?

What a sick joke this government is. And it’s being played by the rich on the rest of us.
