Is That It?

I'll write something more detailed later, but the most notable thing about John Key's speech is the lack of a clear plan. We may get a GST hike, we may get tax cuts, maybe this, maybe that, blah blah.

JUST DO SOMETHING MR KEY!

JUST COMMIT TO SOMETHING FOR GOD'S SAKE!

I never thought I'd find myself quoting Sarah Palin, but this question goes out to everyone who voted for change in '08.
"How's that hope-y, change-y stuff workin' out for you?"
Update: Actually, screw it. It's pretty clear Key's speech was mostly full of waffle and that he's lost the opportunity of a lifetime to actually make meaningful changes to our tax system.  But others have said that better than I could.

So I'll focus on what Key said in his speech about science and innovation - in a separate post.
