Labour’s new approach

My column at nzherald.co.nz welcomes Labour’s reported new approach to focus on how to grow the economy more, rather than oppose all spending cuts. An extract:

Even more pleasing Labour have said that they wish to focus on measures to lift New Zealand’s economic game. This is excellent. This is what the debate between the parties should be about – how to increase the size of the cake, rather than how to slice the cake up.

It was quite tough doing four seperate columns on the Budget, as each had to be quite different to the other. One was for Kiwiblog and one for Stuff.co.nz. Plus a print column for Dominion Post and a column today for nzherald.co.nz.
