It's a bl**dy disgrace what's happened to the poor of NZ.

It makes me v angry when I see smug Key poncing about denying any responsibility.

(that's an old report BTW)

Bryan Gould today:-

"This conundrum had happened in effect because the Rogernomics of Roger Douglas under Prime Minister David Lange brought inequality to New Zealand" Gould said.
