Firstly we had this glorious anouncement in 2009. And then the milk and honey began to flow and such in November 2009 .
And today we have the scintillating follow up. and the results are astounding in that the top 3 things we should do are:
• Cutting both government spending and tax ratesHo ho Proper cost benefit analyses and Gubblement withdrawl (a method even the Catholic church is not so hot on ).
• Government withdrawal from most commercial activity to allow the private sector to drive value for money and innovation in those areas – including health and education services
• Proper cost-benefit analyses of government infrastructure projects
Can I get a job where I say the same thing every year and get 100K to do it, safe in the knowledge that no one except a rabid badger would try out my ideas.
Even the Prime Mincer can guess what is in the report and came out to preemptively have a chuckle about it (notice "it's ideas", grammar zombie)
John Key says the report makes some fair points, but given the nature of its authors, it also has a fairly austere agenda.Right wing welfare? I think not, one of the members of this committee is a former labour Party cabinet minister.
He says some of the recommendations are on issues his party has campaigned against and won't be implementing, such as changing superannuation eligibility, canceling Working For Families, and reintroducing interest on student loans. (3/11)

However, regulatory burdens have been increasing. Between 2000 and 2009, over 68,000 pages of legislation was passed, strangling businesses and citizens in red tape.
Afghanistan is struggling to cope with the resultant Kiwi refugees. Only through iron-fisted passport control has the government kept the hobbit population from collapsing completely.
Indeed my strangulation is causing redtape rash as I yearn to be free of the jackboot of the education and health systems in my face.
I think nations should be assessed (for the purposes of redistributing their citizen/chattels) on a the basis of a volume of legislation per aggregate IQ of their legislative body, with the proviso that the legislation must be transcribed onto grains of rice.
The list of places to flee to grows smaller with each passing day.
..."you can check out, but you can never leave"
There must be a flaw in the flue.

I'm worried about the House of Substance. It's borked.

Are these mutually exclusive possibilities?

Oddly enough these policies were followed in the 1980s by a previous slash-&-burn gobblement, followed quickly by the average NZ income dropping relative to Oztralia, a gap which we are led to believe can only be closed by re-applying the SAME POLICIES, but harder. This has the advantage of not having to print a new hymnbook.
In quack medicine circles they use the term Herxheimer reaction: when you take the Healthy Herbal Chelation Remedy and start throwing up blood, this is a sign of the toxins leaving your body, and means that you should INCREASE THE DOSAGE.
This similarity between medical quackery and market economics is a TOTALLY NEW OBSERVATION and it is all mine.
