No surprise to see The Herald editorial still running National’s lines. Now that Key’s equivocating on National’s planned tax cuts Granny’s right in behind him – despite their previous convictions.
From October last year, an editorial from The Herald titled Overdue, but tax cuts timely:
If [the tax cuts are] viewed widely as overdue and underwhelming, Labour has only itself to blame.
And today – Time may be right to ask what tax cuts will cost us:
It may be timely, then, for each of us to consider whether the projected tax cuts are necessarily in everyone’s best interests.
Yeah right – like the New Zealand Fox-News Herald really gives a fuck about anything and anyone other than its bottom line return to shareholders!
When is this policy of treating its readers like idiots going to backfire? Maybe we are all idiots and, like the politics, we also get the media we deserve.
I hate Mondays.
And so is Phil Goff. At least it’s reassuring to know that Labour had no intention of following through with it’s tax cut promises.
