Collins …”I wish I could have got away like that lying bitch, oh wait, I did!”
Nicola, congratulations! We are giving you the finance minister portfolio for three reasons.
1. You were a Fonterra lobbyist.
2. You were a director of the Atlas linked NZ Initiative and they were pushing us hard.
3. Your first-class honours degree in English Literature.
You may ask why number 3? Surely it is irrelevant to a finance role?
The answer is quite simple. We are just going to be implementing whatever the donors and lobbyists tell us to, so an economics degree is not required.
What is needed is someone very subservient to the lobbyists and Atlas linked think tanks, and someone experienced in making up stories and spinning bullshit on the spot, and in that area you are well qualified.
