Clark on You Tube

The Government is catching up and in a first has put a video summary of the budget by Helen Clark on You Tube. Well done to them for starting to embrace the medium.

While it is a bit unfair to compare the PM promoting the budget to the Opposition Leader doing a tour of Parliament, I am struck by how relaxed and natural John managed that video, while Helen does come across somewhat stilted. But to be fair the video is about promoting the budget not Helen.

I hope the Nats do put up on You Tube John’s budget response speech. I love the few minutes of it I saw, and would like to see the whole thing.
