So there’s your choice New Zealand: asset sales, or a party that opposed the GST hike with a nationwide campaign called ‘Axe the Tax’ but refused to comment on whether they would axe the tax or not. Privatisation or a new Prime Minister whose flagship fiscal policy is to cap the salaries of a dozen public servants.

Labour are besides themselves at English’s suggestion: if they were really opposed to asset sales they’d sack their leader, feed his strategy team into a wood chipper and bury the remains at a crossroads at midnight. That way the country might have a genuine choice in the voting booth next year
