I don't think it would be fair to call Goff and Key stone cold liars

-Have wages gone up 10% under John?
No, it's a trick. The 10% figure that Key claims is "after tax"; in other words, most of that is counting cuts in PAYE rates, but not counting GST increase. Actual increase significantly less than 10%.

Aspect ratio abuse!

This is of course crap.
Yeah, well... there's a lot of it about.
Key: "in terms of the wage gap, that's narrowed". "We look at after tax terms, and in the three years we've been in Government we've grown those (after tax) wages by 10% (while in) Australia it's 6%."

Hooton believes Joyce is a strategic genius.
Hooton is the punditry version of push-polling, if you ask me. He pretends commentary, but really he's all about selling the talking points; in this case that teapot-tape-gate was a stroke of genius, not a blunder.
And if you can get enough people to believe that, it becomes so.
