"Message to Substandard & Poorly's: you don't run NZ, NZers do!"
Seriously, at the next possible opportunity, if anyone of us can appear on TV and put a copy of the S&P report through a paper shredder - live on TV - I can't think of a starker gesture of disapproval.
-
I don't see why anyone is surprised that the government is paying such attention to S&P.
What exactly did people think they were getting when they voted in a foreign exchange trader?

Exactly.

Ben,
you're not seriously implying that the people who voted for National actually did so based on "thinking", are you?
being pre-programmed by the corporate/state-owned media doesn't count as "thinking".
(sorry, couldn't resist that)

No point in demonising all Nat voters. Act ones on the other hand deserve everyone's congratulations for what they have wrought.
-
sorry, but demonise i must.
and the use of "it's all ACT's fault!" as a way of weaseling out is quite pathetic, imo.Key and his merry band of rammers-under-urgency are a disgrace. and a reflection of all that cerebral action on the part of the people who voted for them. ACT didn't even get close to the 5% threshold but National got 45%, ffs. all of them demons. hyperbole? yes. pissed off? yes.
and now, predictably, we get Key and English about to let loose with some diabolical budget while using the excuse "but S&P made us do it!". cue the violins, please.
the only thing O'Sullivan got right in that piece was the quip about it all being well rehearsed and "choreographed". ycsta!

I had a listen to the Standard and Poors fellow on the radio the other day, and I sorta skim read Fran O'Sullivan's column (you don't actually have to read her ideological fart columns to know what they will contain) and I guffawed at the drivel from Roger Kerr in the Herald the other day to. With Roger, Satire is redundant.
These people, more than anything else, still don't get it. They can't see that their culpability and guilt in the financial crash and the cheerleading of their media collaborators like O'Sullivan have made them all a joke.
The behaviour of the shysters of the finance sector like S&P and the gangster banksters has completed discredited them, possibly for a generation.
They seem to believe the real world collapse of their ideological empire is irrelevant and come twelve months from now they'll be able to carry on like business as usual.
They need a real wake up, Chavez style.

Key just said to Havoc on 95bfm that nobody thought we would have such a recession 6 months ago. That is a lie. Chris Hoquard left the station while he was drivelling on. :)

So, Mr Key, nobody said to you during the election campaign. "Dont you think it's unwise or unaffordable to be promising tax cuts with the recession we are now in, that is expected to continue or worsen" (or similar).
Oh, they did? They just didnt really think it might come true?

The irony of hiring bureaucrats to sack bureaucrats... something straight out of Yes, Minister.
But as 70 jobs were axed at ACC yesterday, the cost of the handpicked razor gang appointed to help the Government find savings was under fire. It was revealed that former Treasury secretary Graham Scott is paid $2000 a day to work from home as Mr English's adviser.
-
That is a lie
It would certainly seem so, coming from an international finance expert as it did.
-
National seem to fear the economy at the moment, convinced that our overseas bankers will see through our first world pretensions .I wish Rod Oram was in cabinet. What would of Cullen have done I wonder?
