What the actual hell is this is?
Judith Collins walks back National’s debt target, saying its ‘aspirational’ and not ‘set in stone’
National leader Judith Collins has walked back her party’s draft debt target after criticism it would be unachievable without serious cuts to public services, describing it as “aspirational” and not “set in stone”.
Her finance spokesperson Paul Goldsmith had used a speech to tease out a rough target, pledging to set a path to get net core Crown debt to 30 per cent of GDP within a roughly a decade.
“Our sense is we need to demonstrate a path back below 30 per cent, in the first instance, within a decade, give or take a few years,” he said.
But Collins told Stuff podcast Tick. Tick she wasn’t wedded to the target, saying “it’s not set in stone”.
Let me get this straight – cutting $8billion a year for 10 years out of public services is ‘aspirational’???
Who the fuck aspires to destroy public services like that?
Thatcher?
Roger Douglas?
Sauron?
So the National Party are as ‘aspirational’ as Sauron is when it comes to destroying public services?
This is the third backdown in a week by National, the second one was Gerry Brownlee now admitting he had no evidence that the Government was hiding Covid information and the first one was earlier this week when Woodhouse’s claim a homeless man getting 5 star hotel was also a lie.
It’s difficult to know when National aren’t lying these days.
There is no tactic that is beneath this National Party in their lust for power – this Virus is exposing far more than a precarious workforce and community resilience, it is showing us the true values of the National Party.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice going into this pandemic and 2020 election – please donate here.

National always will enslave the poor when they need to cut the cloth of expenditure, this is a classic National Partly policy so at least we 99% know who not to vote for after having National confirm that they intend to punish the lowest income people again to pay for any debts.
Woodhouse is where the Slater bug lives.

Witty. I appreciate witty humour , I really do.

All the while selling of NZ to the highest foreign bidders. China being top of the list. Like they are really a good partner at the moment. NATCCP can finally live up it’s true political aspirations then.
Meanwhile crusher is not mentioning privatising ACC – again. There is a multi billion dollar nest egg there of Kiwi money for off shore investors to play with and strip out over time.
jonkey got away with going against the referendum and selling off family silver to “mums n dads” international investors.
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Works?”
“The desert. Biggest there is.”
