National Give Way To Big Ideas
The Coalition Ministers (reference to the politicianary) met under their own urgency this week via video Skype in an effort to stem the anticipated popularity of Labour's policy of removing GST on their fruits and vegetable. A transcript follows:
Smile and Wave aka PM John Key: "right team, we need some fresh ideas to counter the fruits and the vegetable"
& 
Crusher: "Ooo ooo, I've got one Boss, with that woose Garrett left right out of the way let's toughen laws up and make three strikes now two".
SAW: "right that's good Crusher, anyone else?"
FIGJAM: "let's reform what is left of the financial markets further after SCF and revisit the government guarantees after a full public enquiry"
SAW: "right that's good FIGJAM, anyone else?".
Nickpocrisy Smith: "we need to be left to press right forward with the ETS. You know how important the enviro...."
SAW: "right that's good Nickpocrisy, anyone else?".
Brokeback Brownlee: "how about I use my powers as supreme dictator of Christchurch and build a Wendys' burger joint to revitalise what is left of the local economy?".
SAW: "right that's good Brokeback, anyone else?".
Tango Hide: "how about we review our progress on closing the gaps with Australia and go harder?"
SAW: "right that's good Tango, anyone else?".
Karori English: "oh I know, how about I raise GST right away again, it was pretty popular first time up for us in the polls?".
SAW: "right that's good Karori, anyone else?".
Aunty Tariana: "how about we hand even more land to Maori, including the Crafar farms and up Maori welfare at the same time, that's what we need to increase productivity and make Aotearoa a better place for the moko?"
SAW: "right that's good Aunty, anyone else?".
Brokeback: "What about mining? Drill baby drill, I can use my supreme powers again for what was left of the argument on this one?".
SAW: "right that's good Brokeback, your second big idea, anyone else?".
Steven Joystick: "The give way rule SAW, the give way rule".
SAW: "shit that's perfect Joystick, let's press right on with that. An electoral winner, right".
SJ: "no left"
SAW: "right, then"
SJ: "no left"
SAW: "oh...ughmm...2012 then. I'm sure they'll be all right by then"
SJ: "no LEFT".

Indeed. The big issues will continue to be swept under the carpet.
Labour still have the fruit in their ranks. Come on ya vegetable and turf him out!
Maybe Silent T just wants a whole stack of jobs as compliance offices at the IRD for all his mates... all Labour care about is extending and emboldening the ranks of the PSA and this is a cute way of doing it...
Mind you there is 9 years of Hansard debates about why GST should be universal to deal with first...
CK you should also give Bernard Hickey a right kicking for his latest post about the economy... clearly the guy is having a mid life crisis and rather than getting a blonde girlfriend and a red sports car he is writing about economics... a subject he clearly has only the smallest of grasps of...
I know... economics and finance is my bread and butter
What the media chooses to give publicity to is not the same as what the government is concentrating on.
I know most of cabinet are men but it is possible for them to do more than one thing at a time :)
Hahahahahahah
