Bloody Brilliant
Lefties are all in a lather over National's new billboard in Auckland:
Last year Labour had billboards: "You're better off with Labour"
So here is a quote from Parliament's question time on 7 December 2004:
RODNEY HIDE (Leader—ACT) to the Minister of Finance: "By how much has the average household income after tax increased in the 4 years since the 1999-2000 financial year, and what does this after-tax increase equate to when adjusted for inflation?"
Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN (Minister of Finance): "It is 10.1 percent, the same as the increase in the consumer price index."
So how am I better off? I can apply for a hip-hop tour, but grandad waits longer for a hip-op?
About half the Petrol tax goes to the Consolidated Fund, which is used for Hip Hop tours, welfare, compensating prisoners, funding low quality polytech courses like sing-a-long to radio, inquiries into taniwha before roads can be built, bureaucrats, education, the Waitangi Tribunal etc? What's factually wrong with that.

Hey Michael I really like the 'I can apply for Hip-Hop while grandad waits for Hip-op' Thats awesome go Rodney and he proved a great point, the fact of the matter is no New Zealander is better off under Labour except maybe those beneficiaries or then again what about some of those MP's that came off the dole???

I can't claim credit for the Hip-hop/Hip-op statement - I borrowed that from Richard Prebble.
