Hard News: Crossing the line into idle bigotry, in reply to DexterX,
the lack of intervention and hands off approach this govt has to the economy
Other than for example intervening to change tax rates to favour the wealthy; to direct payouts be made to investors in South Canterbury Finance beyond those covered by the guarantee scheme; to dismantle ECan when it threatened to not approve corporate farming's desire for increased irrigation.
Can we please put this 'do nothing' nonsense to bed now. It didn't persuade people at the last election, and it won't at the next.
The influence of radicalism can reverberate for decades – you can see it in NZ in the manner successive governments have managed the economy since the Lange/Douglas government with a marriage to the “free market”
However I generally agree with you on this.
