Too Much Waffle

Bill English is absolutely right when he says there's too much waffle coming out of the public sector.

Such meaningless good-intentioned waffle includes gems like:
  • talking about "step changes" and "a brighter future" while doing nothing new
  • establishing a 2025 Taskforce to do something about closing the income gap with Australia, while doing nothing to close the income gap with Australia
  • talking up economic growth as our economy slides towards a second recession
  • talking up job growth while sacking public servants
  • talking about good economic stewardship while planning to flog off assets that make a good return
  • telling people this government is not interested in ideology but in what works, while targetting public servants, beneficiaries and the working poor, and while ensuring that the most wealthy in society get the biggest tax cuts.
Yes, there sure is a lot of waffle in the state sector. Most of it comes from the Beehive.

    ...and Waffle also denotes a honeycomb weave - like a beehive interior perhaps?
