Doing less than a half decent job

Posted by Grant Robertson on February 9th, 2010

Jim Anderton has just drawn Parliament’s attention to this quote from John Key in October 2008.

National leader John Key said told a press conference this morning that if National is elected and does a “half decent job” at growing the economy, then increasing GST and the top tax rate will not be necessary

Now that is a serious level of self- reflection!

UPDATE: Its been pointed out that a hat tip is due to Jake Quinn over at Life and Politics was onto this earlier this afternoon.
