That’s what Key said when asked about his plan to increase GP fees. A reader reckons Key’s planning to apply the same market logic to crime:

Great cartoon.

No wonder National’s Law and order Spokesperson, Simon Power, is distancing himself from Key’s policy.

    It’s a cartoon Stephen. It’s taking the piss.

    We’ve already dealt given the policy a serious critique here. http://www.thestandard.org.nz/?p=1517
    Just about every commentator says its a dumb idea and so does the guy who’s meant to be coming up with National’s law and order policy, Simon Power.

    lol, that’s great Steve XD I think the only thing that could’ve made it better would be a “Crime really won’t pay!” comment.

    Great cartoon.. It has to be one of the most embarrassing ‘policy’ releases I’ve heard for a while. I think that whover said it was made up on the back of an envelope got it right.

    I think that was Ms King…

    I’m seriously wondering if Key came up with it all by himself – the thing about Power disowning it… Maybe he feels he can do no wrong. I hope the feelng persists.

    Well yeah it IS funny, esp if thats the extent of their law and order policy though i’d be a bit pissed off if I was Key and thats how my policy on victims was portrayed…and…ah wodeva
