National slip up

The Nats have stopped waiting around for an election date and started to release some policy promises. Probably as a result of Joe Bloggs starting to have trouble telling National and Labour apart.

Have a look here if you want all the waffle.

Basically more tax cuts come April, more private enterprise involvement in government projects along with a raft of smaller things like funding for certain drugs via phamac.

What they didn't count on was someone with a recording device capturing a conversation with Bill English about asset sales.

First on the chopping block to fund all these promises appears to be Kiwibank.

That is one of the two remaining New Zealand owned banks not counting the Reserve bank (the other is TSB).

Something to think about.

We've been here before.
