Most important comment was someone finally giving the lie to the idea that the intervening 20 years have left Ruth & Roger's reforms in place.
Of course this is not true: NZ's benefits are once again the highest in the world; NZ's state sector (60% of the economy) is paid at 30-50% above any reasonable "market" rates (and unionism is "effectively" compulsory); every privatized industry (telecoms, AirNZ, Rail, Banking) has been renationalised or re-created; and NZ's economic circumstances are as bad as they have ever been.
It was great to hear some of this talked about on "National" TV - but pathetic that most of these comments came from Perigo rather than Kerr.
